Targus Announces Checkpoint-Friendly Laptop Cases

ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Targus^® Inc., maker of the world’s top-selling laptop computer cases and accessories, announced today its Zip-Thru^TM 15.4” Corporate Traveler Laptop Case, the first in Targus’ line of checkpoint-friendly laptop cases. As a derivative of Targus’ award-winning Corporate Traveler line, this case is designed to help business travelers eliminate the hassle of having to remove their laptop from their laptop case when passing through airport security, thereby minimizing the possibility of the laptop being lost, stolen or damaged during the security screening process.

“, weighs 3.74 pounds and has an MSRP of $99.99.”

As a leader in the laptop case category, Targus is proactively designing solutions to make the traveler’s airport security screening experience more stress-free. The Zip-Thru case is designed to meet guidelines established by Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which focus on the screeners’ ability to get a clear image of the laptop when properly secured in the bag. In developing the Zip-Thru case, Targus worked in conjunction with TSA authorities to test the product through an actual airport screening device.

“Our Corporate Traveler line is already a favorite case among business travelers, and adding the new Zip-Thru feature makes it a must-have for anyone who travels with a laptop,” said Al Giazzon, vice president of marketing at Targus. “The new Zip-Thru Corporate Traveler laptop case is the lightest in its class, and features our patented SafePort® Air Cushion System, which helps to prevent laptop damage if the bag is dropped or bumped. The unique combination of features emphasizes our dedication to delivering unsurpassed solutions, making the traveling experience smoother and more efficient for travelers.”

Designed with the same features as the lightweight and durable Corporate Traveler laptop bags, the Zip-Thru cases’ patent-pending design splits the case down the middle, thereby isolating the laptop on one side to allow for clear x-ray scanning. The bag also provides ample space for accessories, files and other devices needed by today’s frequent flyer. For maximum comfort during travel, the Zip-Thru 15.4” Corporate Travel laptop case includes a padded ergonomic shoulder strap with non-slip coating to keep the case in place. The first Zip-Thru case will be available in black and made of durable ballistic 1680 denier nylon. It measures 16.93" x 6.5" x 13.98", weighs 3.74 pounds and has an MSRP of $99.99.

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the Targus Zip-Thru™ 15.4” Corporate Traveler Laptop Case (Model Number: CUCT02UA15SUS) will be available in October through Targus Commercial Distribution, Resellers, DMRs and at Targus.com.
