The hard shell case that doubles as a laptop ventilation breeze way to keep laps and notebooks cool and comfortable.

Exploration into different ventilation systems and configurations lead me to Gore brand ventilation membranes, These membranes are water and oil resistant while still allowing air flow.

Protective neoprene flap doubles as a mouse pad. Zipper pouch holds notebook and accessories.
