I don’t know about you, but when I get a new notebook or DSLR, I want to keep them safe. The gear is very expensive and fragile, one drop or hard bump and your new gear can be history. Most cases for computers and cameras are made out of canvas or nylon, if you want something different Built has a new line of cases for you.

Unfortunately for manufacturers, Digitimes claims the ultra-thins will only account for 4-percent of total global notebook shipments in 2009.

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Aug 26th 2009 No Comments
