How to Buy a Rugged Laptop Case
Rugged laptop cases are exactly what you need if you carry
your laptop (usually a rugged laptop also) on bumpy roads or
you work with your mobile computer in a difficult
environment where stress elements (such as water, bumps and
drops, chemical elements, etc) may hurt your laptop.
A regular laptop case will not protect your computer, that’s
for sure! Regular cases are soft and their purpose is to
help you carry the laptop while protecting it from common
injuries, but not to protect it from hard bumps or drops or
any others of this kind.
If you want to have rugged case for your laptop (rugged or
regular) you should check that your rugged case is:
Waterproof
You should pick up a rugged laptop case that is waterproof,
this is the basic that it can do. There are more levels of
water interaction that it may take, from rain and spilling
water on it up to emerging under water.
Solid and hard to break
Built of hard materials, rugged laptop cases are tested to
withstand impact. Some are very rigid and can handle
crushing forces (at least from a person jumping on it) as
well as high impact forces.
The interior must be coated, wall to wall, with panels of
soft materials, to also protect the laptop that you carry
inside it.
Adjustable interior for a lot of rugged laptops models
A good rugged laptop case must keep the computer inside it
in a fixed position, to not “jump” up and down, protecting
it from extra hits.
Chemical stress
A rugged laptop case must also protect the laptop inside it
from interaction with chemical elements that would normally
destroy it.
Comfort
OK, this may not be the detail that will convince you to buy
a rugged laptop case, but surely it is a “must consider”
one: Strap of a rugged laptop case. It is easy to see why
you need to consider this: you will probably carry it a long
way around so it would be a wise thing to protect your
shoulders. At the same time pick a solid strap that will not
break or damage in time.
Also you should test if it stand on it’s edge, like a
regular business case, otherwise you will always need to put
it on something instead of just letting it down.
Some rugged laptop cases have port openings on the sides,
allowing you to work with your laptop while inside the case.
This would be an advantage. However, be sure that these
openings are correctly covered by rubber “stoppers”, to not
let water enter inside it.
