HELCY Laptop Bag & Stand: Encapsulate & Elevate

The HELCY bag has a silly backronym – Healthy Ergonomic Laptop Case for You – but the idea behind it is actually pretty sound. If you usually take a stand with your laptop, why not carry one less item around and use your bag as the stand?

HELCY uses a pair of straps to create an adjustable and apparently sturdy base when used as a stand. You can hide the straps in the bag when you’re not using them. HELCY is made of water-resistant leather and has room for your laptop’s accessories such as a charger, keyboard, mouse and more.

I hate how the video pretends that laptop stands don’t already exist. But again, the real point of this bag is for you to carry less items. Pledge at least ~$140 (USD) on Kickstarter to get a HELCY bag for 13″ laptops; pledge about $11 more to get one that can fit 15″ laptops.

Briefcase doubles as bullet-proof shield

You never know what might end up saving your life, but this laptop  bag slash briefcase might be it, as it is can become a personal bulletproof shield.

Bags and briefcases have more uses than carrying around your papers, gadgets and gear: they also can stop bullets. At least that’s the case with the MTS Multi-Threat Shield briefcase, a bag designed to be able to protect the user from a variety of weapons including bullets or knives by doubling into a three-foot long shield.

Be aware: this is a heavy gadget, at 8 pounds when empty, but if you really place security and safety higher than anything else, this is a no brainer. MTS can stop several impacts from handguns, shotguns, and pistol caliber sub-machine guns, and even some high-powered rifles thanks to an extra armor add-on (that adds more weight on top, so you can find your own balance).

Acquiring the MTS Multi-Threat Shield bag is going to set you back some $900 USD, but if you’re so concerned about getting shot that you’d consider getting a bag like this, there just aren’t many options. It’s also cheaper than a bodyguard, on top, and you won’t have to console the bag’s family after if passes away protecting you, so find some peace of mind with that.
