The Shuttle is more than your typical, lightly padded sleeve. It offers incredible protection by combining plush foams, a rigid impact layer and a durable Ripstop nylon shell. It also allows you to work directly from the case, which makes for a comfortable and convenient work station. The cooldeck’s non-slip riser pads facilitate airflow, keeping both your lap and computer cooler. These work great as an addition to another bag as a laptop sleeve or as a stand alone laptop bag if you don't need to carry much.
