Armor sleeve packs a stun-gun and laser

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on June 1st, 2011

Police will soon have more weapons on them, specifically on their sleeve thanks to designer David Brown. He has developed a new sleeve for police that fits on the user’s hand. It can be deployed instantly and packs a high-voltage tazer type stunner, a video camera, a laser pointer and a flashlight.

The device weighs less than three pounds and is meant to be worn as a glove. There are buttons on the palm to use the stunner, camera, laser and the flashlight. It’s just a concept right now, but hopefully soon it can help police.

Undercover Laptop Sleeve

Undercover Laptop SleeveThe Undercover Laptop Sleeve is a padded laptop sleeve that helps protect your laptop from damage, while it also protects it from theft. The padded sleeve will prevent your laptop computer from getting banged up and scratched, but what’s awesome is that the outside of the sleeve is made to look like an old used padded envelope.

So people will think you have useless paperwork or something else inside. Thieves will pass it by, never knowing that they missed out on a laptop. You can even write on the envelope to make it more realistic.

Frosted Pop Tart iPhone sleeveNothing will keep your iPhone warm and toasty like a Frosted Pop Tart Sleeve. It’s true. They are tasty hot or cold and filled with sugary goodness. This one has sprinkles. Yum.

It’s the tastiest way to keep your iPhone safe and secure for $20. Just make sure the kids don’t find this and warm it up in the toaster. Probably won’t happen, but some kids aren’t that bright.

Fugly sweaters make your laptop look like Bill CosbyI personally can’t imagine wrapping any laptop in something this fugly. But maybe the Cos is making a comeback or something. These are one size fits all and will cost you $20 each. That way, you and your little dog and your laptop can all wear the same sweater.

Here’s an idea. If you feel the need to dress up your laptop in a shirt, why not take one of your own(Hopefully much cooler) and slide it on. The cost? Zero.

My Documents Laptop Sleeve looks familiar

My Documents Laptop Sleeve looks familiarI think I’ve seen that somewhere before. Just not in the real world. It’s a fun and nerdy way to protect your laptop, holding up to 15.4 inches, inside. Others will recognize it and have a little chuckle as well.

It’s a bright yellow case designed like the virtual folders on your hard drive. It may not let you rest your head like the Napbook laptop case, but you can’t have everything. Comes complete with pixilated cursor-pin. It can be had at ThinkGeek for $29.99. I’m cool with it as long as they don’t bring too many things from my computer into real life. I’d like to escape such things once in a while.

Belkin Sleeve case for the MacBook AirJobs and the Apple marketing team have been using a manila envelope to show off just how thin the new MacBook Air really is, but Belkin thinks it has a little bit better carrying case for the new notebook. The new MacBook Air Sleeves come in four different designs ranging from $39.99 to $49.99 that add only slightly more bulk than the Jobs’ envelope.

The sleeves are made from Neoprene and leather and include the Slim-Fit, which has no zippers or magnets, just a sleeve and a flap for $39.99. The Neoprene/Leather model does have an asymmetrical zipper for side or top loading of your MacBook and goes for $49.99. There is also a Vertical Sleeve model with a strap which is designed for use all by itself also for $29.99 along with the Expression Sleeve which also features a strap. The other Sleeves are tailored a little more to be carried inside another bag.
