It started innocently enough: I unpacked my Mac from a few days on the road and the poor thing looked like it had been through a war-zone...scratches, dents and some kind of funky—Spray glue? Nail polish? Surely the silver wonder that keeps my photography business, life and s%!# together deserves more respect than that.
And so, the quest for the perfect laptop case began. Keats and I shopped everywhere and found tons of ‘em. But the illusive IT case—the one with style? Not so much. We were pretty picky about craftsmanship, too. AND Apparently, we were going to need to LOWER our standards. If you know me, that's just not how I roll :)
Seriously, even the Apple Store was bereft of anything approaching hip and stylish. I might as well stamp an L on my forehead and report immediately to the nearest cube. What's a creative person to do? Come up with a creative solution, of course!
INTRODUCING: HIP SLIP
HipSlip gives creatives the ultimate Design Trifecta: killer style, genius level function, and the quality to take the creative abuse of our busy laptop lives.
This Valentines Weekend, You can FINALLY Wear Your Style On Your Sleeve!!
Express your creative style with hottest new look in laptop cases! HIP SLIP is all about style. It’s sleek, chic and superbly designed. And that's just the black part. Now imagine a kick-ass sleeve hooking up with your favorite Shootsac Cover and you're cooking with gas. Don't even get me started on all the cool functionality.
HIP SLIP wraps your laptop in hip, fresh patterns and colors, proudly thumbing its nose at the notion of “pink for girls and black for guys”. Each sleeve is beautifully constructed with smart, thoughtful details. And in true Shootsac fashion (we always think function first), HipSlip takes the concept of sleeve simplicity, packs it with carefully planned details, and arrives at a smart way to improve your computing life with some serious style.
Finally you can hold all your tools without looking like one. :)
