The Cache — available in many sizes — is designed to protect your laptop or iPad against scrapes and scratches. The Cache protects your laptop with little bulk added and is ideal for those who don't want their laptop case to make their loads heavier or to take up a lot of space. It cradles your laptop in .25" / 6 mm thick foam padding laminated with an exterior of heavy-duty polyester knit and an interior of brushed tricot. With no noisy Velcro® or zipper, the Cache closes by simply tucking a generous flap into the top opening.
The Cache is designed to be used inside one of our larger backpacks, briefcases, messenger bags, laptop bags, knitting bags, or travel bags, or any non-TOM BIHN bag it will fit in.

The Cache: Checkpoint Friendly
The Cache meets TSA (Transportation Security Administration) "checkpoint friendly" guidelines for laptop bags, so you need not send your laptop through airport security X-ray machines unprotected. The Cache allows the TSA a clear, unobstructed X-ray view of your laptop in the bag. You may also be interested in our Checkpoint Flyer checkpoint-friendly bag. From the TSA Web site:"To help streamline the security process and better protect laptops TSA has recently encouraged manufacturers to design bags that will produce a clear and unobstructed image of the laptop when undergoing X-ray screening. A design that meets this objective will enable TSA to allow laptops to remain in bags for screening." For more information on the checkpoint friendly program, visit the TSA website. Questions? Email us. We'd be glad to help. |

The Cache vs. the Brain Cell
The Cache is designed to provide protection against
scrapes and scratches. It slips inside larger bags. The
Brain Cell (like the Cache,
available in Horizontal
and
Vertical) provides
substantial laptop protection: inside the Brain Cell,
your laptop hangs suspended, cradled in a sling of 10 mm thick, soft foam
padding
inside a 4 mm hard corrugated plastic shell that protects from the front, back,
and
bottom. At the bottom of the plastic shell is affixed a strip of memory foam.
The
Brain Cell clips securely inside our larger bags.
The Cache has a slimmer profile
than the Brain Cell and on average weighs about eight ounces less. The Brain
Cell provides
significantly more protection for your laptop. The Brain Cell has handles and
can accommodate
an optional shoulder strap — the Cache has neither.
Which one is right for you? That's your
call. Some customers feel they don't need the extra protection the Brain Cell
provides,
and they prefer the slimmer profile of the Cache. Others feel that the
investment that is
their laptop warrants the extra protection the Brain Cell provides.
