The Datakeeper (previously Light) is a universal, full-time protective case for your students’ laptops or Chromebook. The same design as our incredibly popular Datakeeper 2.0, without a front accessory pocket.
Constructed from molded EVA foam, padded edges, and secure corner straps, the Datakeeper Light cradles your laptop, keeping it safe from drops and bumps.
Plus, a clear ID window makes identifying the laptop and its owner easy.
This always-on laptop case ensures that your devices are always protected. Students work in the case, which is never removed. The Chromebook or laptop is held in place with corner straps that are clear on the top to ensure the entire screen is viewable, and rubberized material below the computer ensures it will not slip out of the case. The construction of this case makes it thin and lightweight while offering powerful defense against any of life's events or accidents.
A convenient carry handle makes the Datakeeper very portable, and it’s no larger than a notebook or binder for students to carry. An optional shoulder strap is also available (pictured, but not included). The Datakeeper is built to last, and because it's universal, may very well outlast your devices. So stop the endless swap (and landfill) of plastic shells that quickly become obsolete with each new model.

The Flak Jacket combines highly shock absorbing foam with corrugated plastic stiffeners to provide complete protection from your laptop in a slim, lightweight solution. Don't let your laptop or tablet leave the house without its jacket.
This laptop and tablet case doubles as a convenient carry bag for 11-, 13- and 14-inch tablets and laptops. Don’t rely on cheap neoprene cases to protect your valuable educational equipment. Instead, choose Higher Ground to know that your devices will survive trips to school, home and back again.

Schools make a major investment in laptops for their pupils. Failing to protect them adequately creates additional repair and replacement costs. A high-quality laptop bag for students provides a cost-effective solution for safeguarding this valuable technology and lengthening its lifespan. As the original education-focused case manufacturer, Higher Ground offers a variety of rugged products that will minimize the risk of laptop damage.
Founded in 2003 by a college educator and his former student, Higher Ground continues to set the standard for the industry. The company concentrates on developing cases and bags for schools that combine maximum drop protection with functionality. While there have been many copycat cases over the years, most of these products are designed for the consumer market. Higher Ground bags deliver targeted solutions that address the unique challenges that school districts face.
Higher Ground backs every protective laptop bag with a broad assortment of value-added services, such as:
School districts may supply their students with laptops at any grade level in the K-12 spectrum, but elementary school students don't use their devices in the same way as their older counterparts. With this fact in mind, Higher Ground produces a variety of durable laptop bags that serve the needs of every student.
Models such as the Shuttle and Datakeeper feature the smaller size and work-in-bag functionality that's best for younger pupils. High school students can benefit from the Flak Jacket 3.0, with its slim, lightweight design and built-in storage pocket for carrying laptop accessories, notebooks, papers and school supplies.
Every laptop bag for education will provide exceptional drop protection that maximizes the lifespan of the device and reduces repair and replacement costs.
Higher Ground protective laptop bags provide school districts and their students with a host of features and benefits that set them apart from competing models.
Some of these features include:
