SEATTLE, WA — August 18th, 2008
TOM BIHN, a designer, manufacturer,
and retailer of laptop bags, backpacks, messenger bags, and briefcases,
has introduced the Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Briefcase, a new “checkpoint friendly” briefcase-style
laptop bag with a highly protective compartment for a laptop computer.
The Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Briefcase is Tom Bihn’s answer to an intensive, five-month design challenge issued by the TSA
(Transportation Security Administration) to design a laptop bag that meets its newly
implemented “checkpoint friendly” program guidelines. The Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Briefcase
provides the TSA with a clear, unobstructed x-ray view of the laptop in the bag
without sacrificing organizational pockets and clean design.
Unique features of the Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Briefcase include:
Duraflex Stealth buckles, and Poron foam-padded handles.
cell foam, available in three sizes designed specifically to fit Apple laptops. Also
fits a wide variety of PC laptops.
Briefcase works well as an everyday laptop bag.
The Checkpoint Flyer Laptop Briefcase is available for pre-order through the
TOM BIHN Web site and ships by late September. $220. Available in three colors.
TOM BIHN has been designing and creating bags for over 30 years.
The TOM BIHN Inc. headquarters and factory are located in Seattle, Washington,
where the company is dedicated to creating quality products and quality jobs.
