The 14-inch ZeroShock II model is no longer available. Please check out the 14-inch ZeroShock III case available in BLACK. To ensure proper sizing, please be sure to measure your notebook and compare to the interior dimensions listed in the Technical Specifications section below. Also, please be sure to select your color preference from the drop-down menu at lower left before adding this item to your cart. The ZeroShock 14-Inch Notebook Sleeve is composed of a high-resistance polyurethane foam that provides superior absorption of external impact force. When you first pick up a notebook computer enclosed in a ZeroShock Sleeve, the exterior feels rigid and inflexible. Only when you begin to really squeeze will the ZeroShock material yield and compress, leaving behind dents in the surface. These indentations will remain for a few minutes, before the material expands and reverts back to its previous state. The tactile feel is so different from what we normally expect from a notebook case that the effect is quite unique. What is high-resistance polyurethane? High-resistance polyurethane does not yield to external pressure as easily as neoprene or regular polyurethane foam. By compressing slowly and expanding slowly, high-resistance polyurethane is particularly adept at absorbing impact energy. Due to high-resistance polyurethane's impact-absorbing properties, it is most often used in medical devices, car seats, acoustic devices, fruit transport packaging, and aerospace development applications. Applying this technology to notebook cases results in an unparalleled shock-absorption/weight ratio. Translation? Better protection for your notebook with less weight to lug around. Protect your notebook! Impact shocks to precision instruments such as notebook computers can have devastating results. Not only is your notebook valuable, but so is the data contained inside. ZeroShock cases provide impact absorption on all sides, protecting the sensitive LCD screen, hard drive, and other critical internal components from external shock*. Tests were performed on the ZeroShock sleeve, comparing its ability to absorb external shocks to that of standard notebook sleeves. As the test results indicate (see related figures at right and below), ZeroShock provides dramatically superior impact protection. (*This product is not guaranteed to protect against all external shocks. Excessive impact force will, of course, cause damage.) To ensure proper sizing, please take a moment to measure your notebook's dimensions and compare them to the interior dimensions listed below. Features:
- High-resistance polyurethane provides superior protection against external shocks
- Fits most 14- and 15-inch notebooks, including the Dell Inspiron 600m, Apple 14-inch iBook, and IBM A31P
- To ensure proper sizing, please measure and compare to interior dimensions listed below
- Low profile design that fits snugly
- Two high-quality zippers with easy-to-grab rubber "mini-handles"
- Designed to be carried inside a separate bag or backpack Technical Specifications:
- Available colors: black and grey
- Dimensions (please measure your notebook and compare to interior figures!)
- Exterior (W x D x H): 14.2 x 1.0 x 11.8 inches (360 x 25 x 300 mm)
- Interior (W x D x H): 13.0 x 1.8 x 10.8 inches (330 x 45 x 275 mm) (To clear up a frequently-asked question: Yes, the exterior thickness is less than the interior thickness, since the former measures the thickness of an empty sleeve. The interior dimensions measure what will fit inside, so naturally the interior capacity will be greater than the thickness of an empty sleeve.)
- Materials: High-resistance polyurethane
- Weight: Medium = 0.54 lbs (0.245 kg)
