The Giz Wiz, Week of August 6, 2013, Netcast 1428

The Cocoon SLIM Backpack is perfectly engineered for the tech-minded person going back to school. Two padded and lined pockets are designed to cradle and protect your laptop (up to 15”) and your tablet (up to the large iPad size). I travel light, but my 11” Acer laptop and 10” tablet fit perfectly in their own compartment. A separate compartment of the Cocoon SLIM backpack is what makes this backpack truly different. It contains the first full-size GRID-IT! pocket. GRID-IT is a series of overlapping elastic strips of varying sizes that enable you to store almost everything you need to carry in a vertical position. With each cable, wire and gadget held tightly in place and in plain view, it’s virtually impossible to have a messy backpack where everything sank to the bottom. With water-resistant ballistic nylon and waterproof zippers, everything inside the SLIM backpack stays safe and dry. The adjustable shoulder straps, minimalist design, and gunmetal hardware offer comfort and style. Fully packed, the SLIM is only about 3.5” deep, so it looks good, even on your back!  Under $80.
