THE DATAKEEPER (Previously Light)

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.

About The Flak Jacket Plus Classic

The Flak Jacket Plus Classic laptop case with pocket and handle offers the same great design as the popular previous Flak Jacket but with a larger front pocket, providing more room for your power supply and accessories. Combining shock absorbing foam with multiple layers of corrugated, plastic stiffeners, the Flak Jacket delivers complete and superior protection for your device. As always, all handles, straps and stress points are bar tacked and built to last. Don’t let your device leave without its jacket!

Chromebook, Mac, and Tablet Friendly
Chromebooks, Macbooks, iPads and tablets find a familiar and well-fitted home in the Flak Jacket Classic, which comes in two sizes to fit both 11-inch and 13- to 14-inch laptops and tablets. The Flak Jacket has been the first line of protection for many major 1-to-1 programs throughout the world. The results speak for themselves in cost reduction and decreased student downtime. Equally great for tablets with keyboards. Ruggedized protection that is built to last!
