Tom Bihn Ristretto for iPad/Netbook

Posted by admin  Published in Netbooks


This video demonstrates what you can pack inside of the Tom Bihn iPad and Netbook Ristretto. We packed an Apple iPad, Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard, Canon S90 camera in a Tom Bihn Small Padded Organizer Pouch, Shure earphones in a Tom Bihn Mini Padded Organizer Pouch, iPad USB sync cable and AC power adapter in a Tom Bihn Mini Cordura Organizer Pouch, a capacitive stylus, a Retro 51 Pen, an Apple iPhone, a large Moleskine notebook, a mini Moleskine notebook, tissues, hand sanatizer, and Burt’s Bees lip balm. The iPad and Netbook Ristretto is shown with the optional Absolute Shoulder Strap – the most comfortable way to carry any bag – and also with the Standard Shoulder Strap from Tom Bihn.

As usual, when I received this Tom Bihn product, I was very happy! This video displays the functional design very well, but it’s hard to see the great build quality which is present in every Tom Bihn product I have purchased over the years. Always worth every penny.

@Wishwader Hello! There is now a Ristretto for the 11″ Macbook Air. We also have a video of that here on youtube!

@octoberemp Hello! No, the pouches aren’t included with the Ristretto. You can add the type and size pouch that you want when you place your order.

I have not seen a better video review of any product. I am dead serious. You are as thorough as a medical examiner, with tremendous flow from feature to feature, and unbeatable detail. Flawlessly Succinct. I wish everyone would do reviews in this manner, but it is an art, and you sir are an artist. Or in med school. Bravo!

Also, a fractionally taller version to hold the Macbook Air 11-inch would be nice. Nicer than putting it in a 13″ bag or the non-iPad version of this bag. Only needs to a half inch taller.

@TomBihn Thanks. I guess I was hoping to avoid expensive air mail, import tax/handling charge and all that nonsense. But I’ll probably buy it anyway. The two colours I’m interested in are on backorder for late Nov and Jan so I’ll be patient.

@Wishwader We offer UPS Expedited shipping to the UK! You’ll see that as an option when you place your order.

Wish these were sold in the UK. I got a cheap bag in the meantime but obviously doesn’t compare.

@MrOherv hello, MrOherv! the larger Ristretto accommodates the 13″ Macbook and Macbook Pro from Apple. You may want to have a look at the Buzz, which is a sling bag that accommodates the 15″ Macbook Pro.

Excellent review.

Only thing missing was what it looks like when worn!

Wow, great review. Appreciate the depth you put into it. Saved me lots of time on research. Specially on where the “o” rings are for attaching the pouches.

Excellent video !!!
I’m thinking of getting the one that is a little bigger than this one, the Ristretto.
I have a Macbook 15″ that measures 14 1/2″ X 9 1/2″ X .50″.
Do you know if this would work, I have read the specs on it & it seems that it might.

Again Great Job !!!!!!!!
