The two padded rear flaps which let you plug cables into the PC have been redesigned to open downward for easier access. Our special Shock Barrier Construction strategically combines rigid reinforcement with padding for maximum protection with minimum bulk. If it's a portable PC, it really needs a handle for truly safe handling at all times. Especially vulnerable with smaller hands. There is no smaller case available that protects like ClassMate either.
Students already have a pretty heavy load.
See our special compact wheeled ClassMate Cart options if of interest. No other laptop bag is faster, easier, safer or more convenient. No empty cases to create a hazard in crowded classrooms either. The outside pockets are specially designed to provide just enough organized storage for the needed accessories, disks, adapters, cords etc. Although wonderful devices, these cards are especially susceptible to damage and even to wear from constantly having to remove and replace them for travel safety.
