MWSF: Speck unveils a new line of backpacks, bags and sleeves for notebook computers

Posted by Daniel East Jan 8, 2009 at 6:16pm

Speck, a designer of cases for popular consumer electronics, introduced a new line of original bags, backpacks and sleeves specially designed to meet the needs of today’s demanding notebook computer owners. The new offerings are on display at Speck’s MacWorld Booth, South Hall #1838 and at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) South Hall, Booth #21913.

Commenting on the company’s new product category announcement, CEO Irene Baran stated, “We are pleased to introduce four distinct notebook carrying solutions that draw from Speck’s long history of originality and quality. Our new packs reflect our continued focus on designing and crafting high-quality products that offer distinctive personality and thoughtful features.”

Initially launching in two distinct colors, Speakeasy Black Pinstripe with robin’s egg blue interior and Coffeehouse Brown Plaid with desert tan interior, each of the four new packs are aptly named for their unique form, function and styling.

AftPack Notebook Backpack – Comfort and Capacity to Carry All the Essentials and up to 17” Notebooks

The AftPack notebook backpack was designed to offer complete on-the-go storage and notebook protection that lets you bring it all along in style and comfort. Contoured, padded shoulder straps with tuck-away chest straps, extra-comfortable vented body padding, and the quick-access notebook compartment opening all help make AftPack your trusted got-your-back companion as you charge through your daily routine. Available for $99.95 MSRP. AftPack Product Information and Images: http://www.speckproducts.com/content/aftpack-notebook-backpack

CorePack Notebook Messenger Bag – Dual-Position Shoulder Strap Buckles and Ample Storage Holds up to 15” Notebooks

Whether you’re dodging traffic or traversing the subway, the CorePack hugs your body with precision. With the innovative, adjustable dual-position shoulder strap buckle system, you can cinch-up CorePack to wear messenger-style, on your back or over the shoulder, or carry briefcase style using the convenient tuck-away carry handle. Available for $89.95 MSRP. CorePack Product Information and Images: http://www.speckproducts.com/content/corepack-notebook-messenger-bag

PortPack Notebook Shoulder Bag – Sleek Vertical Styling and Protection for Notebooks up to 15”

PortPack’s clean, upright appearance gives you a tidy look and feeling no matter how jumbled up your day can be. Sling PortPack over your shoulder and stash your media player while using the headphone cord pass-through to keep up your neatness. Slyly remove the shoulder strap and un-tuck the carry handle for a crisp, clean look. Even sneak in a water bottle when no one’s looking. Available for $79.95 MSRP.

TuckPack Notebook Carrying Sleeve – Lightweight, On-the-Go Protection for Notebooks up to 13”

Lightweight and simple, the TuckPack features a plush, micro-fleece padded notebook compartment and is the perfect way to carry and protect your notebook when size matters, yet small enough to be slipped into a larger backpack, bag or briefcase. The included shoulder strap lets you conveniently sling your notebook at your side or simply remove it to tuck it under your arm or carry in hand. Available for $39.95 MSRP.

The new AftPack, CorePack and PortPack designs offer individual styling and flexible options, yet share many useful notebook-friendly features in common, including:

• Extra-plush micro-fleece padded notebook storage compartment
• Media player storage pocket with headphone cord pass-through to exterior
• Stylish, durable exterior fabric and quilted nylon interior lining
• Comfortable adjustable seat-belt style nylon-webbed shoulder straps and high-performance buckles
• Ample deep-well storage and organization pockets and pouches
• Expandable mesh zippered water bottle pocket
• Detachable key leash
• Tuck-away carry handle

The TuckPack carrying sleeve shares similar construction and styling found in the AftPack, CorePack and PortPack designs, but sheds select features to focus on delivering its ultra-lightweight, form-fit notebook protection.
