Frequent travelers rejoice! Our day of never having to fuss with without our laptops, trying to rush it out the bag
before angry passengers and impatient TSA agents loom upon us to move it along. Targus has answered our cries of never wanting to
take our laptops out with Zip-Thru bags. These bags split apart so that one side holds your things, the other side your laptop, and its TSA approved.
But I bet dollars to donuts you will get that ONE agent
who will scream to the high heavens that we gotta take the laptop out of the bag. But this is definitely a step in the right direction in speeding us through security.
More to come, but here is the official press release and a hi-res image. Targus Announces Checkpoint-Friendly Laptop Cases The New Zip-ThruTM15.4”
Corporate Traveler Laptop Case Allows Travelers to Keep Their Laptops in Their Bags While Going
Through Airport Security
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.
