When carrying a laptop, you are easily holding anywhere from 2-4 pounds depending upon your model. While the smaller models are definitely lighter, when you have to do more for work the bigger models are still going to have to be hauled around. When you have a lot to haul, placing that load on one side of your shoulder may have your chiropractor or physiotherapist not too happy with you.
Enter the Kroo Cube Laptop Case. Meant to hold the laptop, and your most important files, these cases distribute the weight where it should be, by your side. Now it does take some getting used to, not throwing it over your shoulder;however I noticed that even with the bag I have now that does have a shoulder strap, I still hold it by the handles a majority of the time. Holding your laptop by the handles eliminates the problem of your bag swinging and pulling you off balance. You also can rest assured that there is no shoulder strap that could break or come undone.
The handles of the Kroo Cube are comfortable and velcro together for a tight fit. Models that are between 10-13 inches will fit inside the case (my laptop is a four year old13 inch Dell Latitude D620;that’s the computer in the picture). The laptop is held by a strap that velcroes across the machine. The files or papers etc you need to carry sit in a mesh pocket sewn opposite. This case is great for transporting to a location and using it straightaway, also allowing the case to cushion your machine and absorb heat. The Kroo Cube case is a hard shelled case which offers protection and support (see Took a Spill;Kroo to the Rescue). It’s not like a laptop sleeve with just a foam insert.
Also, if you have a Netbook or mini laptop ,you can also put your machine and your power cord inside together.
Of course, my duty at Hound and Handbag Gift Company is to make sure that these bags go through their paces ( see I Like Being A Guines Pig). And I’m happy to report that the Kroo Cube is a great substitute for taking weight off my shoulder. I use my case with the shoulder strap to carry other items that don’t pull me over.
Kroo is available at Hound and Handbag Gift Company for $27.99USD. It is available in black,pink,marine blue and cherry red. I have the cherry red one and loooove it.
