"there's no question this is the best laptop bag I've ever carried!"
8/04 Houston Chronicle Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus

"This bag is by far the best backpack and computer bag that I have owned. I have been carrying a laptop for over 10 years and no bag has the comfort, style, and ease of storage as the Backoffice."
11/04 customer testimonial

"This bag has been perfect for a mobile setup for my band. The pockets have just the right amount of space for the music equipment I need (USB MobilePre and MIDI box, cables and of course my PowerBook G4)."
3/04 customer testimonial

The clever design of this unique computer carrying case, allows you to convert it in seconds from a comfortable, padded backpack to a single shoulder strap vertical briefcase. The pack opens to create a functional, well organized portable office, for use on your lap or on any desk top.

Once opened, you may work directly from the case without the need to remove the laptop. The Cooldeck's non slip riser pads elevate the laptop, providing airflow for cooling. The side pockets provide quick and convenient access to peripherals and media. An organizer panel holds your pens, business cards and PDA.

A new feature to the BackOffice is its removable computer section. The sleeve section may be carried by either its own rubber handle or a single shoulder strap (included). Its functionality of a portable office remains, with its non slip, rubberized bottom surface and cooldeck/gripdeck interior.

The padded backpack straps can be discreetly stored in their own zipper pocket and hidden away from view. A single shoulder strap may be used for the times that a backpack may not be appropriate. The vertical configuration of the case makes navigating crowded and cramped areas such as busy hallways or airlines a walk in the park. A second rear pocket provides ample storage for paperwork, a portable printer or even a second laptop computer!

Both cases now include our single shoulder strap and new cell/ipod pocket!
