Microsoft looks like they will be getting into the computer bags and business accessories market via a deal announced with Samsill Corporation, a maker of business cases, media storage, ring binders and sheet protectors. The first Microsoft branded products under this deal should begin appearing in the first quarter of 2007.

Under the terms of the arraignment, “Microsoft and Samsill will collaborate to develop a full line of computer cases and business accessories targeted to young, tech-savvy consumers as well as business professionals striving to stay connected in the digital age. The new products will be designed to assist consumers in transporting, protecting and organizing a variety of technology-related devices, accessories and media.”

Samsill will manufacture, market and sell the products with the Microsoft brand, while Microsoft assists in the development. The Microsoft branded bags and other accessories will be distributed via retail and commercial channels including office and consumer electronics stores.
