Our friends over at WaterField Designs sent us word of their just-refreshed Racer-X:

San Francisco, CA, June 26, 2007 – WaterField Designs, a leading maker of custom-fitted computer bags and cases for digital gear, today announced a new size and look to its Racer-X computer case line with a custom size to fit Apple’s 13″ MacBook. As part of the new look, the Racer-X now has an easy-to-access front pocket and a choice of carrying handles: a single mountain bike grip handle, or the new dual leather handles. This new Racer-X is also available in custom sizes for the 15″ and 17″ MacBook Pros and the 12″ Powerbook.

The Racer-X features two zippered, interior compartments: one that encases and protects the laptop with layers of plush neoprene, foam and impact-resistant plastic; and another for documents and files that includes pockets to store accessories like PDA’s, iPod’s, cables, and spare batteries. A rear exterior pocket for magazines and files has a zippered bottom so it can also be used to slip over handles of wheeled carry-on bags. Each Racer-X comes with a removable Suspension Shoulder Strap that helps make the load feel lighter.

The Racer-X is made of sturdy ballistic nylon with a leather strip accenting the front pocket and vibrant trim available in five colors. Industrial-grade metal hardware and YKK zippers come standard with the case.

The Racer-X is available now direct from WaterField, with prices ranging from $169 for the MacBook and 12-inch PowerBook models, $179 for the 15-inch MacBook Pro model, and $189 for the 17-inch MacBook Pro model.
