I have met Mobile Edge customers over the years, and every person that has ever owned a Premium Backpackhas always praised Mobile Edge for the awesome design and durability of the backpack. The laptop backpack has been described to be as tough as an Abrams Tank.

Here is a great customer comment I would like to share with you.

By Ethan O’Leary,
Mobile Edge customer

I would like to let you all know that you have a very good product, although I’m sure you know that already. I have had my Dell brand labeled premium backpack since 2004, and it has served me extremely well. I am always on the go, and this pack has never let me down. It has protected 3 laptops; been on a camping trip to Big Sur full of gear (not to mention a laptop); flown all over the country; been in and out of several industrial manufacturing plants many times; traveled on my back on many mountain bike trips to and from work; and has been rolled over in 2 motorcycle accidents, the most recent of which was a 50mph head on encounter with a car when the driver decided my side of the road looked better than his own.

Through 8 years of this, I have never had a single issue with your pack, and it is always loaded with 30-50 pounds of gear, tools, knives, clothes, and whatever else I need on a daily basis. Very few purchases have impressed me over the years, but this pack impresses me more than most. Your pack is more durable than much of the camping gear I’ve had over the years – gear which is meant to take a beating.

I’ll be buying more of these in the future, for myself and my employees. Keep doing what you’re doing.”

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) recently implemented several new policies regarding laptops and tablets. As it stands now, if you have a traditional laptop or Ultrabook, it has to be removed unless you have a TSA compliant laptop bag like theScanFast Collection by Mobile Edge.

However, if you have a tablet or iPad, you do not have to remove it from your bag. If you have both, a laptop and an iPad, you will still have to remove the laptop unless again it is in a TSA Compliant Checkpoint Friendly laptop bag.

Here is a blog post from the TSA which outlines the topic of Tablets versus laptops, and explains which ones would need to be removed.

By Bob Jones, TSA Agent

I saw some headlines today stating that TSA refuses to explain why laptops have to be removed and tablet computers do not. This kind of baffled me, because a post has been up on the subject since April of 2010. Most of the post explains what can stay in and what has to come out, but we give a reason why towards the end:

“Only electronics the size of a standard laptop or larger (for example Playstation®, Xbox™, or Nintendo®), full-size DVD players, and video cameras that use video cassettes must be removed from their carrying cases and submitted separately for x-ray screening. Removing larger electronics helps us get a better look at them and also allows us to get a better look at the contents of your bag.”

Basically, tablet computers, iPads, Netbooks and e-readers are less dense than your typical laptop, so it’s easier for our X-ray operator to inspect your bag. However, larger laptops and game consoles appear denser and need to be removed in order for the X-ray operator to get a good look at your bag. With that said, there are still times that tablet computers, Netbooks, and e-readers have to come out. If our Officer can’t get a good look at your bag or if they see something out of the ordinary, they’ll have to remove it.

The larger the laptop, the more stuff you can hide in it. Items have been found concealed in laptops in the past, so we have to be able to get a good look at them. Our officers have about 3 seconds to make a call in order to keep lines moving, so the less clutter, the easier it is to clear your bag and get you on your way.

Dress for Success: Mobile Edge laptop bags in the courtroom

Reuters – iPad Tops Consumer Reports’ Tablet List

As the Public Relations Director forMobile Edge, I often have the opportunity to meet with influential news reporters and media representatives. Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of visiting the ABC 7 Eyewitness Newsroom to introduce the new Mobile Edge REV360 rotating iPad case which is planned to be released to the public soon.

I met with Jay Eckstein, Assignments Editor, and proud California State University, Fullerton Alumni. I quickly popped in his personal iPad 2 and showed him how functional the new iPad cover is, and how it can be used for multiple applications.

Jay then brought me over to meet with his News Director, and she placed her new iPad inside the REV360. After rotating the iPad 360 degrees and examining how nice the REV360 fits, she realized there are scores of ways reporters can use this versatile new iPad accessory.

Sitting at his desk nearby, Technology Reporter, Ric Romero, saw the REV360 in use and he had to check it out first hand. After he felt the molded hand grip and elastic strap that conveniently helps you hold your iPad, he now wants to include in an upcoming news report featuring the new iPad.

Since Traffic Reporter, Alysha De Valle, uses her iPad during her Traffic Segment talking about the real-time traffic WAZE app, we thought she needed the new REV360 for herself.

Today, Alysha used the new REV360 in her traffic segment and seemed to really enjoy how easy it is to use. This is an example of how practical the new iPad accessory can be in real life use.

If you live in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, tune in to ABC 7 News in the morning and watch for Alysha to show off how easy it is to use the new Mobile Edge REV360 iPad case.

Apple’s new iPad is as amazing as all the hype claimed it would be. Just when I thought they could not make the iPad 2 any better, they did. Apple added the amazing Retina display, the 5MP iSight camera, and the ultra-fast 4G LTE.

This new iPad is a must have. The question is, do you get the WiFi only version or the 4G?

Regardless of the tablet you choose, the new Uprise360 iPad Stand from Mobile Edge and Hub Innovations is ideal.

The beauty is, you can place your iPad in the stand and rotate it vertically or horizontally 360 degrees. Use it at the office, the kitchen (like my wife does reading recipes), the classroom or anywhere else you choose.

The new iPad stand folds up nicely into a compact form when not in use and can easily be carried in an existing laptop or tablet bag from Mobile Edge. The Uprise360uses similar technology the REV360 uses with the ability to rotate the iPad in any direction effortlessly.

For only $39.99, this is a great iPad stand that will work for you for years to come! The Uprise360 will work with the iPad 2 and the new iPad (3rd Generation iPad).

The photos of the Uprise360 was taken at the Brea Mall Apple Store, the day the new iPad was released (March 16th).

Stay tuned to the Mobile Edge Blog for updates when the product will be available for ordering.
