A laptop is a very delicate instrument that has to be taken care of when traveling, and this is the reason people use laptop cases. One of the sturdier laptop cases is the aluminum laptop case. In fact, it is often considered a Fort Knox for your portable computer. Actually, a few years ago, owning an aluminum laptop case was quite difficult, as there were not many cases in production. However, nowadays the cost has shrunk drastically, while its availability has increased tenfold. So many people are opting for aluminum laptop cases.
An aluminum case is of course made of aluminum, sometimes with extruded aluminum frames. Most of the aluminum laptop cases come with grey ABS plastic pads on their bottoms to keep them from scratching desks. The handle of an aluminum laptop case is sturdy, with a comfortable molded plastic grip and a removable shoulder strap. For the safety of the laptop, the aluminum laptop cases usually have one or two combination locks. The inside of an aluminum laptop case has a lining with mesh and vinyl leather-look trim, some padded divider panels to separate the laptop from accessories, and also lots of pockets to hold necessary cables and discs. To keep the laptop fitted snugly into the aluminum laptop case, the bottom of the case has totally customizable Velcro-adjustable dividers.
The advantage of using an aluminum laptop case is that it gets reduced shipping costs in the event of shipping of the laptop. It is easy to handle in all weather, as it is both water- and dust-resistant. There is little risk of the laptop getting damaged if the aluminum laptop case falls. Aluminum laptop cases are recyclable, and are thus beneficial to the environment.

“Attache” type laptop bags
A laptop bag that looks like a business brief, for sure! What makes the difference between these bags and regular business bags is that these bags are especially designed for laptops.
Most popular models are made of aluminum but also of leather and other fancy materials.

“Messenger” type laptop bags
Nice looking laptop bags, really looking like messenger bags, stylish and practical.
They come in both horizontal and vertical models. I ask myself if vertical models of laptop bags offer enough protection to your laptop.
For “Messenger” type laptop bags I would remember JanSport SuperBreak Drop Down Computer Vertical Brief and Abbi New York Valerie
Backpacks (laptop bags that are carried on your back)
These types of laptop bags are most practical I'd say! A lot of students here use these bags for carrying their laptops. They are comfortable, easy to carry, they give you the freedom to do whatever you want with your hands and offer great protection to your laptop.

Getting a laptop can be a rather big investment and after sinking your money to invest in a laptop, I am sure you will want to protect it from scratches and other forms of damages.
Fortunately, there is a cheap and great way to invest in the protection of your new and old laptop:
By investing in a good laptop skin.
A laptop skin is a decorative piece of vinyl with an underlying adhesive layer. The adhesive layer ensures that the laptop skin stays fastened onto the laptop cover. A good adhesive layer will usually allow for easy and clean removal of the laptop skin from the surface of your laptop.
In general, laptop skins have good scratch resistance qualities making them ideal for protecting your laptop from fresh scratches. They come in different finishes, with lamination and varnish being the most common finishes.
Also, because of the injection of certain chemicals, some high quality laptop skins can even withstand extreme heat and cold, radiation and chemical corrosion. They are even resistant to tear, water and sunlight-fade.
Good quality laptop skins typically employ the latest in high resolution image technology to render photo-realistic image quality and exceptional color density, therefore you can not only protect your laptop but also beautify it. Imagine being the envy of all the on-lookers when you are using your chic-looking laptop with a great-looking laptop skin on your laptop.
Laptop skins sold in the market typically only cover the laptop cover while protective keyboard covers are sold separately. Also, do note that the lamination layer in some lousy quality laptop skins may come off within 6 months. Therefore, it always pays to invest in a good quality laptop skins such as garskins.
If you are looking to protect your laptop or give it a new look, www.GarSkins.com provides great laptop skins for both your laptop exterior and your internal keyboard for only one affordable price.
