At airport security checkpoints, laptop owners are often asked to remove their portable pal from the safety of it's case and place it in a plastic tray ready to be x-rayed. In this often stressful process, there is the risk of dropping your laptop on the floor. A new product from Midrix lessens the chance of this happening, and would make a great gift for frequent air travelers.

Clik-N-Grip laptop strapGoingthrough the airport security screening process in the UnitedStates can be unnerving, even for an advanced traveler who's usedto getting into a new line to fly again as soon as they arrivefrom their last destination. At security, there's the mandatoryshoe removal, the emptying of the pockets, the turning off ofcell phones, the removal of the belt-and, of course, the baringof your laptop. It's a moment of great peril.


Imagine:you balance on your naked feet, plastic bin in one hand, carry-onbag on the other arm, belt in your mouth, shoes stacked on yourhead-how can you not drop your laptop at that point? And even aPanasonic Toughbook might shatter from 5 feet up onto the hardtile of the airport floor.

Enter Midrix Inc. Visit their Web site and read the story of howthe company got started-a good-intentioned business traveler witha genius for nerdifying-I mean, engineering-a solution to aproblem at hand. The problem was the difficulty in removing alaptop from its bag during the aforementioned screening process.His solution was a strap contraption that could wrap around hislaptop and allow him to hold it securely.

This strap contains a safe, durable handle that allows you tocarry your laptop as if it were in a briefcase, sans briefcase.Or if your preference is a backpack, another version of theSafe-Clik-N-Grip Laptop Strap allows you to carry your notebooklike a backpack, sans the backpack.

Both versions of the Strap can be adjusted to fit any sizelaptop, with a main strap, support strap, and one-inchside-release buckles of a quality like you'd find on a canvasmessenger bag. The key of the whole contraption is the balancedhandle.

My only concern for the Safe-Clik-N-Grip Laptop Strap would bethat the federal authorities might single you out for lookinggoofy, but the owner and inventor of the company-who goes by GJPon the site-says he's gotten compliments from airport security.More information at Laptopstraps.com
