Remember their Artecnica + TBWA\ Recycled Stretch Bag? Well, these new Laptop Cases are lined with black neoprene to add softness and protection to the case, and come in 13” and 15” sizes. See more images of the case on the next page.

4 Notes

These are really nifty, they’d look amazing if the original billboard design was still left on them even.

Hi, there. I’m sorry to be a buzzkill, but isn’t neoprene really bad for the environment?

(See this post: http://www.thecleanestline.com/2008/05/green-neoprene.html)

I looked at the linked sites, and couldn’t find any information on the particular neoprene they’re using, so perhaps it’s recycled or something wonderful and new?

If not, I’m a tad offended at the greenwashing of putting it in a line called Design With a Conscience.
