BUILT sleeves, backpacks

Online vendor Koyono has introduced two notebook cases by BUILT to its lineup, the Cargo Laptop Sleeve and the Laptop BackPack. The sleeve uses a thick neoprene layer, which stretches to accommodate the shape of different notebooks; there are additionally three external pockets, sized to fit gear such as iPods, power adapters and cellphones. Zig-zagging stitches are used to improved durability and protection against water. The sleeve comes in black, brown, green and orange colors, and 13-, 15- and 17-inch sizes; prices range from $40 to $50.

The BackPack uses a different approach, and holds all notebooks in a space with enough room for a 17-inch system plus books and folders. Phones and iPods are kept in a strap compartment, while miscellaneous items are stored in one on the main body. Black and green colors are available for $80.
