Kids are increasingly required to take a laptop or tablet to school which can be a nerve wracking situation for parents.    While most backpacks have a padded section for a laptop or tablet I don’t feel confident that my son’s MacBook would survive being stored in a backpack.

Do you remember how much stuff you carelessly crammed into your backpack when you were in high school?  I shoved binders, spiral notebooks, textbooks, pens and pencils into my backpack without considering for even a second what else was in my backpack and what I could damage.  Putting a laptop or tablet in a backpack could be an iffy situation.

I learned about an online store today called Polkaduck.com that sells laptop sleeves, phone cases, and other accessories for devices.  When I saw their 13″ carrying padded messenger sleeve my first thought was that it is really cool because it has an adjustable shoulder strap then I thought that would be great for high school and college students who inevitably cram stuff into their backpack which is really not safe for a laptop or tablet.

This 13″ laptop sleeve has a large pocket with velcro on the front and two pockets on the back.  Your teenager won’t (probably won’t) lose their mouse or charging cord if they use a laptop sleeve like this one!   I absolutely love that it has a shoulder strap.  Did I mention that already?  I get excited about little things like shoulder straps.  🙂  Laptop sleeves like this one are lightweight and this one is water-resistant and durable.  Even better.. it’s just about $19!
