metal briefcases

[Obsessed]

Do any of you use one? If so, what do you think and where did you get it?

Thanks.

I'm not a big fan of these and do prefer leather because there's less noise when you dump it on a table, bump it against something, etc. However, I'd imagine the metal one's would be more secure and this is the feature I would be looking for most were I to consider buying one.

I don't own a briefcase but with that said, I don't understand the appeal of a metal one. they look like they're for guards who are transporting precious metals/jewels.

I believe a lot of high-end leather hard briefcases (which seem to be called "attaché cases") are metal covered with leather. The cheaper ones are made of wood or fiber composites. So a nice one may give you the best of both worlds.

I too think a metal case looks too bank security for my taste. Though I've seen a few in carbon fibre that are interesting.

Do not forget to include some chains on wrists!!

Those went out of style back in the mid-1990's. Thought about getting one prior to that, but glad I didn't. Had a co-worker that did and they were teased mercilessly.

Yeah, I suppose it would be a virtually impossible look to pull off. Next topic, please!

I had one assigned to me to hold some electronics test gear (before Pelican took over that market). It scratched SO EASY and then it looked like cr@p.

the last metal case to have any real effective use was back in WWF.

FWIW I agree that this is not somewhere you want to go unless you're going for the cheesy villain look.

Well now you're making me reconsider...

On an unrelated note: uniforms for henchmen? Thoughts?

Do I need to send you the evil overlord list??

Precisely why I will never own another. Scratches. And the fact they went out with parachute pants and break dancing. Leather is just classy.

Black slacks, socks, shoes, thin ties and sportcoats, white shirts. How else would they dress?

I have a Zero in silver. I'm rather fond of it.

My dad hated them. he'd get one everytime at a camera show and would then have to lug the damned thing home on the subway in the 1990s
