"Protective Laptop Case and Portable Workstation"
Inspiration:
theGreenCase evolved from a simple idea of making a laptopcase out of a single sheet of material. After researching and investigating how people actually use laptop computers differently from touch pads and stationary computers, it became very clear to me what I had to create.

Problems with current laptop cases:
One of the main problems I found was that cases are bought and used just to protect the laptop when transported from one place to another. The case is then stowed away in a backpack or a drawer somewhere. In some cases the laptop is place on top of the case, which could limit ventilation and overheat the laptop, which causes lag time, hard drive failures and program errors.

The GenuineCase is the executive version of the GreenCase, it is hand made from vegetable tanned tooling leather finished with vegetable based oils and leather balm. This product will undoubtedly outlive your apple laptop and if you haven’t experienced the aging process of vegetable tanned leathers; you are in for a treat.
The GrayCase is handmade from high quality merino wool felt and is naturally water repellant, has exceptional insulating properties and a very soft feel.

Shipping:
The GreenCase is designed to mimic the looks and structural properties of a regular cardboardbox used for shipping and storage. There is no need for additional packaging, which allows for a lower price but most importantly a smaller environmental footprint.
