Water Resistant Laptop Bag
icon1 nikewong | icon2 Bags | icon4 06 11th, 2008| icon3No Comments »

Accidents happen. Many people spilled their drinks onto their laptop. I spilled my glass of wine onto the laptop once as well. Military-grade laptops are waterproof, however not many people can afford it.

Why not consider buying this Japanese product (look like freezer bag), which seals you laptop into a plastic bag? This transparent plastic bag is big enough for you to put your laptop into it, and prevent it from any spillage. However it is not completely waterproof as there are holes on the back of the plastic to allow release of thermal. It is not recommend using your laptop in this bag in your bathroom or in the swimming pool. Minor rain is acceptable. Besides repelling water, it can also be used to resist dust.

The bags come in two sizes, which are B4- and A4-size. Both bags cost ¥1,980 (~USD 20) each. If you are interested you can purchase it from here.
