The New Case Logic Urban Commuter Laptop Backpacks for Men and Women

07/29/2016 By Hakan Can

Case Logic Laptop Backpack for Men

Case Logic Expands Their Product Line for 2016

Case Logic Laptop Backpack for Men

Back in January at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Case Logic, one of the best-known attaché, bag, and backpack brands in the U.S., introduced a wider portfolio of new product for 2016. And they were all on full display in their booth. So much so that we’ve had to segment this post to their laptop backpacks for urban professional and commuting men and women. This is not to say that these Case Logic laptop backpacks shouldn’t be used by high school or college-aged teens. On the contrary. We’re saying that based on their design, weight, and color schemes, that these cool backpacks are better suited to those in their 20’s and 30’s. We’ve got another post on back to school bags for boys, girls, and teens, that showcase five more colorful backpack designs.

The key takeaway for their 2016 product line was their targeting of “the next generation of connected students and professionals. Today’s mobile users want their devices protected, but they also want their bags and cases to look great and act as an expression of their personality.”

Introducing the Case Logic Huxton and Lodo laptop backpack lines.

For four electrifying seasons, the Emmy®-winning series, packed with white-knuckle action and gripping storylines, built a passionate fan base who turned the show into the highest-rated original series on the network and a modern-era cult classic.”

“Sure to lift any “Fanshee” out of the doldrums, the 3 disc sets are packed with behind-the-scenes extras including audio commentaries, exclusive deleted scenes, episode recaps, “Banshee Origins” (which tells the story behind the story with eight prequel videos featuring the cast of Banshee), “Zoomed In Eps 1 – 8” (an on the set feature highlighting how key, adrenaline-filled scenes were created), and specially-created cast retrospectives on “Best Fight Scenes” and “Job’s Best Outfits”.”

“This MAX action drama charts the final twists and turns that follow Lucas Hood, an ex-convict who assumed the identity of sheriff in the Amish-area town Banshee, where his former lover and partner-in-crime was living under her own alias, Carrie Hopewell. The final season takes place two years after Lucas gave up his badge after a bloody, multimillion-dollar heist at the Camp Genoa Marine Base which proved costly: Carrie’s husband Gordon was killed, and Lucas’s longtime computer-hacker partner, Job, was abducted by a shady criminal ring.”

“After settling a score with a “recruiter” from Lucas’s past whom he hoped would have intel on Job, Lucas went on a bender before being rescued by an unlikely savior, Proctor’s niece. Emerging from a self-imposed exile, Lucas returns to Banshee to find it a changed town. Brock Lotus is now sheriff, Kai Proctor is the mayor, and the old “Cadi” police station has been replaced by a state-of-the-art facility. A new deputy with ties to Proctor, Nina Cruz, has joined Brock’s team, along with Kurt Bunker, the skinhead-turned-deputy who continues to make amends for his dark past while fighting the racist overtures of the group led by his younger brother Calvin. After reuniting with Carrie, their daughter Deva, and ex-boxer Sugar Bates, Lucas becomes immersed in a new Banshee crisis: rooting out a vicious serial murderer whose latest victim is someone near and dear to his heart.”

PRESS RELEASE

Per the 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment press release: “OSCAR® Winner Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy lead a powerhouse cast in Director Bryan Singer’s extraordinary follow-up to X-Men: Days of Future Past. After thousands of years, Apocalypse – the world’s first and most powerful mutant – has awakened to find a world led by humans. Intent on cleansing the Earth of mankind, he recruits a group of mutants to create a new world order. In a desperate race to save humanity, Professor X (McAvoy) leads the young X-Men in an epic showdown – against an unstoppable enemy – that will determine the fate of the world.”

Per the 20th Century Fox website: “Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction.”

PRESS RELEASE

From the minds of Creator/Showrunner Mike Judge and Executive Producers Alec Berg, Michael Rotenberg, Dave Krinsky, and Tom Lassally comes HBO’s Silicon Valley.

Per the Home Box Office press release: “The latest season of the Emmy®-nominated comedy series Silicon Valley, from Mike Judge (King of the Hill, Beavis and Butt-Head) and Alec Berg (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld), debuts on Digital HD on July 25, 2016 (season pass currently available). After last season’s shocking ending, which found Pied Piper celebrating legal victory just as Richard (Thomas Middleditch) was ousted as CEO, Season 3 picks up where we left off, with Richard offered the diminished role of CTO and the rest of his team – Erlich (T.J. Miller), Jared (Zach Woods), Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) and Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) – facing the question of just how far their loyalty extends. With a new no-nonsense CEO hell-bent on transforming everything from Pied Piper’s offices to its business agenda, the guys must find a way to triumph in the war of Art vs. Commerce, maneuvering the many competing interests along the way.”

“Meanwhile, as Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) works to rehabilitate Hooli’s image following his blunders, Big Head (Josh Brener) finds himself in a new partnership, while at Raviga, Laurie (Suzanne Cryer) holds her cards close to the vest, as Monica (Amanda Crew) tries to look out for Pied Piper’s best interests. With its patented brand of silly and satirical humor, this season of Silicon Valley continues to probe the ripe-for-comedy world of tech, as our heroes grow bolder, if not always wiser.”

Per the Home Box Office press release: “The recent season of the multiple Emmy® Award winning HBO Comedy Veep comes to Digital HD July 18, 2016. Veep: The Complete Fifth Season stars Emmy® and Screen Actors Guild Award winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as President Selina Meyer, for whom even the most banal action can set off a ripple effect that has unexpected and far-reaching consequences. This season, President Meyer is in the midst of a virtually unprecedented Electoral College tie, with her future as commander in chief coming down to just a few hundred votes. While Amy and Dan work on a long shot to victory, Selina finds herself spinning her wheels in D.C., as her staff strives to make her seem presidential (even though she actually is president), at the same time fending off the ambitions of Tom James, her charismatic running mate, who in a twist of obscure constitutional procedure could end up becoming president.”

Introducing the Targus Mobile ViP Collection – Premium Laptop Cases

07/05/2016 By Hakan Can

Targus Mobile VIP Collection

A 4-Wheel Roller, Backpack, and Briefs – The Targus Mobile ViP Collection

Targus Mobile VIPTwo weeks ago, the hottest booth at the annual CE Week/GetGeeked event wasn’t a mobile phone/tablet case brand. It wasn’t a hi-res audio player maker. And it wasn’t the latest fitness equipment manufacturer. The hottest booth went to Targus–the higher-end bag, case, and mobile accessories brand. I’m completely honest here–the line was down the hall. The reason for the line was two-fold. While many of the booth’s attendees were drawn to the Mobile ViP premium collection of laptop bags and cases, having a ‘spin-the-wheel’ giveaway to promote the new product line brought in even more. Let this be a marketing lesson to the other brands, a great promotion boosts attention to your products. Introducing the Targus Mobile ViP Collection.

Press Release

Per the CE Week press release: “The lineup combines modern styling with functional appeal. Made with only the best materials and protective components, each case in the Targus Mobile ViP Collection boasts maximum capacity in a slim structure.”

Targus Mobile VIP CollectionFurthermore, the press release stated: “Tailored to match your work style, the Mobile ViP Collection has a sleek design that maximizes storage. Strategically located compartments make it easy to find what you’re looking for. And, it’s made to protect, with features like the innovative SafePort® Sling suspension system that keeps your laptop secure in case it’s dropped, weather-resistant bases to protect your devices and docs from the elements, or lockable zippers that provide enhanced security. The design incorporate intuitive organization, ergonomic construction, smart protection, and details that make it quicker and easier to get around.”

According to David Dorantes, Director of Product Marketing, “The bags in the Targus Mobile ViP Collection were designed specifically for professionals that are always on the go, whether they’re moving between client meetings across town or across the country. We’ve included details that anticipate the needs of the business person on the move with various organizational details and built-in functionality, all in a polished aesthetic.”

As someone who examined this new briefcase and bag collection that night, I can vouch for the accuracy of David’s quote.
