The Flak Jacket Plus Classic laptop case with pocket and handle offers the same great design as the popular previous Flak Jacket but with a larger front pocket, providing more room for your power supply and accessories. Combining shock absorbing foam with multiple layers of corrugated, plastic stiffeners, the Flak Jacket delivers complete and superior protection for your device. As always, all handles, straps and stress points are bar tacked and built to last. Don’t let your device leave without its jacket!
Chromebook, Mac, and Tablet Friendly
Chromebooks, Macbooks, iPads and tablets find a familiar and well-fitted home in the Flak Jacket Classic, which comes in two sizes to fit both 11-inch and 13- to 14-inch laptops and tablets. The Flak Jacket has been the first line of protection for many major 1-to-1 programs throughout the world. The results speak for themselves in cost reduction and decreased student downtime. Equally great for tablets with keyboards. Ruggedized protection that is built to last!
Surfing The Web
Though much of Higher Ground's gear is designed for couch surfing, you won't find neoprene here. The soft, spongy material is great for wetsuits however neoprene is less desirable when it comes to drop or shock protection for your laptop. The Flak Jacket's polyurethane foam provides superior protection.
Protective Armor
The Flak Jacket combines highly shock absorbing foam with corrugated plastic stiffeners to provide complete protection from your laptop in a slim, lightweight solution. Don't let your laptop or tablet leave the house without its jacket.
This laptop and tablet case doubles as a convenient carry bag for 11-, 13- and 14-inch tablets and laptops. Don’t rely on cheap neoprene cases to protect your valuable educational equipment. Instead, choose Higher Ground to know that your devices will survive trips to school, home and back again.

Not long after tablets became popular recreational devices, they began appearing as effective learning tools in schools. If your school uses tablets or iPads, consider purchasing Higher Ground's protective tablet covers to safeguard your investment.
Since 2002, Higher Ground has manufactured high-quality covers for education technology. Founded by a college educator and his former student, Higher Ground gives schools and students peace of mind about technology in the classroom.
Your school deserves cases that deliver on the protection and functionality they guarantee. When you choose Higher Ground, your devices will be protected with quality, market-leading solutions. Each product receives meticulous testing to ensure peak performance along with Higher Ground's uncompromised standards in service and manufacturing. If your device requires a custom fit or solution, Higher Ground can help with that, too.
Educational tablets, particularly iPads, can represent a significant investment, making protection essential. Obtaining durable tablet cases should be the first step in safeguarding your investment.
Many of today's tablets feature thinner profiles and more glass, increasing the risk of damage. This risk grows when products are in the hands of small children. Repairing tablets take time and money that schools or students can't always afford to lose. Higher Ground covers help reduce the chances of encountering these frustrations.
All Higher Ground cases meet the same high standard for shock absorption with TPU construction and edges that go well beyond the device's, ensuring incredible drop-protection. Some models include a built-in stand for easier viewing and typing, which is particularly useful for children in earlier grades.
Higher Ground's products come with a raised bevel, which sits slightly above the glass screen to cushion it in the event of a face-first drop. These protective tablet covers are specially made with sound channels that redirect and amplify audio from the sides to the front, where the sounds belong.
What really sets Higher Ground's PROTEx cases apart is how incredibly easy they are to hold and comfortable they feel in the hand. PROTEx ergonomic cases are equipped with a comfortable, silicone X-strap on the back, giving both educators and students a convenient way to hold and operate the tablet in a worry-free way.
Higher Ground would be proud to equip your devices with the protection you deserve.
