Padded protection for the laptop, and somewhere to put everything he’d otherwise be holding.
Why it makes such a good gift
A laptop is an expensive thing to carry around loose in a rucksack, and most men will keep doing exactly that until someone hands them the alternative. The padding handles the everyday knocks that do the real damage, the ones from a bag going down on a hard floor rather than anything dramatic.
Most laptop cases stop there. This one has pockets on the outside for a phone, wallet, keys and a charger, so the things he reaches for constantly aren’t buried behind the laptop. That also means it works on its own for a coffee shop or a short trip to the office, rather than only as something that goes inside a bigger bag.
WHO TO GIVE IT TO
For the man carrying an expensive laptop around in nothing at all.
The Man With a Loose Laptop in His Rucksack: He knows it’s a bad idea. He hasn’t done anything about it. This is the intervention.
The Coffee Shop Worker: Laptop, charger, phone and wallet in one thing he can pick up and walk out with. No rucksack required for a two-hour session.
The Hybrid Worker: Two commutes a week with a laptop in a bag adds up to a lot of opportunities for damage. The outside pockets mean his pass and phone stay reachable.
The Man Who’s Hard to Buy For: Practical, used daily, and obviously useful. The three things that make a gift land rather than sit in a drawer.
