Universal Protection. Streamlined for Every Day.
DataKeeper delivers lightweight, always-on protection that keeps laptops and Chromebooks protected without getting in the way. Its universal design is built to outlast individual device models, helping schools and organizations reduce replacement costs while extending the life of both their devices and their cases.

Inside, compression-molded EVA construction, reinforced offset edges, and secure corner straps work together to absorb everyday bumps and accidental drops before they reach your device.
Designed to stay on your laptop or Chromebook throughout the day, DataKeeper allows users to work without removing the device from the case. Clear upper corner straps maximize screen visibility, while the non-slip interior securely holds the device in place without interfering with normal use. Open sides provide convenient access to charging ports, buttons, and connections, making charging and classroom workflows simple.

Testimonial
“The Higher Ground Vert 3.0 has become the bag of choice for our Nampa Personalized Learning Device. It provides a great carrying experience with lots of device protection. We first tried a Dell branded device sleeve for our device deployment. We found it wasn’t holding up to the demands put on it by the students. We need a better solution and we found that Higher Ground gear bags provided a much better experience and protection for nearly the same cost. The student feedback is positive and the students still using the first round sleeve want to move to the Higher Ground Vert 3.0 bag.”

Laptop Bags for Schools
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.
Why Move to Higher Ground?
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:
- A 30-day free trial that allows school districts to buy without risk
- A lifetime guarantee that covers defects in materials and manufacturing
- A unique 1/2-off replacement program, which makes upgrading to new bags extremely affordable
- Top-notch customer service that competitors cannot match
- Availability of free samples, which enables school districts to try out a case before purchasing
How Do I Protect School Laptops?
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.
About Higher Ground K-12 Laptop Bags
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:
- EVA construction that consists of the same foam used in running shoes and athletic pads to cushion a fall
- Hydrophobic coating that repels water and dirt, keeping them away from the bag contents
- Reinforced corners and extended edges that provide additional drop protection
- Up to an 85-90 percent reduction in screen breakage for many districts
- Meticulous testing that ensures each bag meets the highest quality, performance and longevity standards
