Specs and prices are from tomtoc.com and the BAGSMART Official Store listing on Amazon. Retailer prices vary.

Upright vs flat

The tomtoc opens like a clamshell and stands up, with two compartments. The BAGSMART is a flat case that opens like a book, so it slides into a laptop sleeve or backpack panel more easily.

What fits

A laptop charger is the deciding item. The tomtoc's 1.8 L volume is built around bulkier chargers. The BAGSMART's 1.2 in depth favors cables, earbuds and small wall plugs.

Who should pick which

• Buy the tomtoc if you pack a laptop charger and want gear split in two.

• Buy the BAGSMART if you mostly carry cables and small chargers and want a flat case for less.

• Pick the tomtoc if your bag has room for something upright. Its 1.8 L clamshell (tomtoc) stands on a shelf or in a backpack's main compartment, and the two compartments keep a charger apart from cables.

• Pick the BAGSMART if you pack flat. At 10.6 x 7.5 x 1.2 in and 3.2 oz (BAGSMART listing), it fits a laptop sleeve or a backpack's front panel.

• Pick the tomtoc Light-T12 Pro M if the standard M is too small. tomtoc lists it at $39.99 (tomtoc, as of Oct 2026).
