THE DATAKEEPER (Previously Light)

The Datakeeper (previously Light) is a universal, full-time protective case for your students’ laptops or Chromebook. The same design as our incredibly popular Datakeeper 2.0, without a front accessory pocket. 

Constructed from molded EVA foam, padded edges, and secure corner straps, the Datakeeper Light cradles your laptop, keeping it safe from drops and bumps. 

Plus, a clear ID window makes identifying the laptop and its owner easy.

This always-on laptop case ensures that your devices are always protected. Students work in the case, which is never removed. The Chromebook or laptop is held in place with corner straps that are clear on the top to ensure the entire screen is viewable, and rubberized material below the computer ensures it will not slip out of the case. The construction of this case makes it thin and lightweight while offering powerful defense against any of life's events or accidents.

A convenient carry handle makes the Datakeeper very portable, and it’s no larger than a notebook or binder for students to carry. An optional shoulder strap is also available (pictured, but not included). The Datakeeper is built to last, and because it's universal, may very well outlast your devices. So stop the endless swap (and landfill) of plastic shells that quickly become obsolete with each new model.
