In the 1996 movie "Independence Day," mankind is saved from extermination by malevolent extraterrestrials, thanks to a computer virus uploaded from a laptop. As sterling a plan as this is, it would have been for naught had the laptop been dropped down a flight of stairs.
The G-Form Extreme Sleeve laptop case would have prevented such a scenario. The sleeve is made of a composite blend that stiffens on impact and absorbs 90% of the blow. The price for a 17-inch laptop cover is $100.
