Cases for Laptops and Accessories

By Allyson Westcot


Most people slip their portable computers into a shoulder bag of some sort or a briefcase. Both soft-sided and hard-sided cases are readily available from most places that sell luggage and/or PC accessories. When you think about how frequently a shoulder bag gets bumped, dropped or damaged in some form, it's simple to see that most cases and bags actually don't offer much protection for your laptop PC. Choosing a rugged case for your PC can help extend its life.

The price of a rugged case is usually higher than one that does nothing except allow you a simple way to carry your personal computer. That is due to the fact that rugged cases are engineered to face up to abuse. No matter how delicate your laptop could be, a watertight, crushproof, dustproof case can help protect it while it's in transit.

Many cases also feature extras like organizers on the inside for little accessories or extra batteries, shoulder straps as well as carry handles for convenience, and pressure equalization features that help in protecting the PC if the case is dropped or bumped. Padding alone can help in protecting a computer inside such a case.

Even features like safety locks that need a key to open can assist in protecting your investment. In a traveling situation, nobody can slip anything into a locked laptop case, and that alone may deter somebody from trying to steal it. The key to the best protection and security from a rugged PC case is selecting one for the correct dimensions of your personal computer, and one that offers the features you want most.

If you use memory devices with your portable computer, particularly with a rugged laptop, you can use a case designed solely for them. Not only is the case larger than the cards, making it less certain to be lost or misplaced, but it's hard-sided and crushproof, moisture resistant and dust resistant to keep the cards protected.
