headcrab climbing on his back!!! save him!!!
call Gordon Freeman ASAP
You beat me to it! Exactly what i thought!
MY BACK SWEATS!!!!!!
Schweaty back...
I’m bringing sweatyback
Them other boys don’t know how to act
I think you're special, what's behind your back?
a laptop? what the crap is wrong with you
*record stops playing*
Ya, good thing that material is water resistant, cuz my back would be sweating like a mofo! :o(
Go Ninja Go Ninga Go!
Turtle Power!
hero's in a half shell
I see a green turkey with laptop stuffing.
I hope you saved the neck and gizzard for Grandma
Definitely the poor man's Kevlar vest.
Don't try wearing that thing in the front on your chest while at the airport or on a plane, I'm sure the homeland security guys would not find it as cute we would.
I don't find any man wearing anything cute.
o'rly? picture this: gary coleman. bib. mesh haltertop. fanny pack. you can't tell me that's not cute. to sweeten the pot, he's holding an analog phone and riding a segway. no pants.
you had me at Gary Coleman.
Galaxy of Prawns? Three prawns is hardly a galaxy.
Does that mean you only think naked guys are cute, Lowest Ranked?
Is that a PuppetMaster on his back?
This could be useful for peeps that ride a motorcycle and need to carry a laptop. But then again, So can a traditional backpack of appropriate size.
Interesting idea but I don't see much benefit other than it looks different.
Make an even smaller version for the EEE PC, that I can wear under my jacket and I'll be stoked! Was just thinking of this idea the other day. Good stuff!
looks like a diaper for your back. fully loaded.
For the record, I think this is so cool looking! You guys just don't know anything about style!! :)
Karen, judging by your sense of 'style', if you ever tried to dress me, at least have the decency to shoot me first.
something else to separate the nerds from the chaff.
Don't you mean the chaff from the nerds? Nerds, for the most part, wear practical things (pocket protector, etc.).
It's the fanny pack of the 00's.
Maybe it's good for a Macbook Air -- if you can wear it under your jacket.
This is going to make you an instant cowtipping victim.
I hope you have the optional insurance.
I got this, kinda similar:

Thats WAY too white!
looks good for the police department crew, no more desk jobs. But then again, a desk job may be the only thing keeping them killing unarm civilians.
Looks like a head crab from half life.
You, sir, are approx. 26 comments too late. Thanks for playing. Good night, now.
id wear it...under a trenchcoat, a very heavy trenchcoat, so no one could see
$80.00 !!??
Tahar Benourad
Yes.
Esat Dedezade
Yeah thats cool, for ike 20 bucks not 80.
Why should Ike get it any cheaper?
Now this is the shit. Well what about those people who swet alot? Seriously, you start sweting real bad and then your laptop gets all wet and then no longer works, now that would make your day. Don't know about you, but I would certainly be very pissed off if I had this kind of problem and it happened.
Overall, I like this concept.
WARNING: Sweting may cause laptop damage!
Wow, "sweat" hasn't formally been spelt like that since Old Frisian (8th-16th centuries).
Thank you for the PSA.
Everyone, please remember, think of the laptops! Don't let your swet cause damage!
Or i could... you know... use a normal backpack. And not look like and ass! win - win
with a decent quality laptop, this thing can work as a bullet proof vest as well. (at least for you back)
Sorry, title should read: BUILT's Laptop Backpack keeps your files close, peripherals closer, and the girls far, far away
Awesome, definitely very cyberpunk-ish
looks like a baby carrier for parents who want their kids on their backs instead, and without a place to hook their legs into so they have to hang on with their arms. a real muscle builder.
You could just wear it on the front and call it a beer gut but plenty of people seem to be doing that already.
I am thinking torrential rain and wet laptop. No thanks.
How is neoprene "water resistant" - neoprene certainly doesn't mind being submerged in water for long periods of time, but it also gets wet on both sides. Laptop sticking out doesn't really help either. Nor am I - as has been pointed out - a fan of sweaty back.
I think it looks great - but there seem to be too many practical problems here.
I was thinking headcrab from the Half-Life game.
