Carry in Backpack Case
Many school districts allow their students to select and purchase their own backpacks. Because these students have freedom of choice, they often opt for style over function. While carrying fragile tablets and laptops, their backpacks may offer little protection against drops. Higher Ground designs protective slip-in shells that ruggedize any backpack while still providing a personal choice of style. As a result, educators and parents can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing they are protecting their investment in technology.
Why Buy From Higher Ground?
Higher Ground has been providing high-quality protective covers for K-12 school districts for more than 16 years. Other companies design "cookie-cutter" solutions for the consumer market and attempt to adapt them to schools. In contrast, Higher Ground creates products specifically for educational use. These cases combine excellent protective capabilities with the functionality and accessibility that today's elementary, middle and high school students need to perform at their best.
When you purchase a backpack-friendly tablet, laptop or Chromebook case from Higher Ground, you'll get a solidly constructed product that meets the highest quality standards. A lifetime warranty, customer-friendly 30-day return policy and cost-saving "1/2 off replacement program" for worn or used items make Higher Ground the smart choice for any school district.
How Do I Protect School Laptops and Tablets?
Elementary school students don't necessarily use the same devices as older kids. Higher Ground offers multiple backpack tablet, laptop and Chromebook cases for schools to cover every device and need. They all enable safe transport and easy "slip-in" and removal. Examples include:
- DropIn - Backpack Insert: The simple and affordable DropIn lives up to its name — it drops right into a backpack, providing a padded, corrugated protective shell. Besides offering excellent drop protection, it shields the device from books, school supplies, computer accessories and other miscellaneous items that students carry in their backpacks. The DropIn also includes a large top opening for quick device access and a strap for securing the device in place.
- Capsule: Higher Ground's incredibly affordable backpack-friendly laptop, tablet and Chromebook case, the Capsule offers a cost-effective way to reduce computer damage. The thin EVA shell (EVA is the same foam material found in running shoes and athletic pads) provides exceptional drop protection. Rigid front and back surfaces and a solid extended edge with full perimeter padding further reduce the risk of damage. Additional features include an integrated handle, ID window and attachment points for an optional shoulder strap or accessories handle.
About Higher Ground K-12 Carry in Backpack Cases

- Up to an 85-90 percent reduction in screen breakage
