Expands company's portfolio of cases and accessories designed to carry, protect, and connect students' tech in the classroom and beyond

DENVER, June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- (ISTELive24, Booth #1882) - Targus^®, the number one third-party docking station and laptop bag brand in the US¹ and a leader in laptop cases and mobile computing accessories, today introduced its new lineup of commercial-grade form-fit Chromebook™ cases and protective iPad^® cases for the education market at ISTELive 24, June 23^rd-26^th. These new additions further expand Targus' extensive portfolio of innovative laptop bags, hard cases, and accessories designed to carry, connect, and protect students' technology in the classroom and beyond.

"When it comes to protecting students' tech throughout the school year while helping them to be as productive as possible, equipping them with the right accessories is often as important as the devices themselves," explains David Dorantes, Director of Product Marketing, Targus. "Our new cases made for the latest Chromebooks and iPad models deliver superior device protection and provide various integrated, versatile features that help students work easier and more productively on their devices in any learning environment."

The new Commercial-Grade Form-Fit Clear Cases arriving in June/July are translucent cases made for the latest Dell, Lenovo, and HP Chromebooks™.  These cases feature drop-rated protection up to the typical school desk height of three feet, enhanced corner and edge protection, a thin and lightweight molded design, and easy access to all ports. Plus, like all Targus laptop bags and cases, they're backed by Targus' limited lifetime warranty.

Available now, Targus has also added two new iPad cases to its portfolio delivering portable protection for the latest iPad^® (10^th generation), iPad Air^® (M2), and iPad Pro^® (M4) devices in the classroom and beyond: a SafePort^® Clear Case and Kids Antimicrobial Case.

With military-grade drop protection up to six feet*, Targus' Kids Antimicrobial Case is the perfect solution for young learners to keep their iPad protected from inevitable drops and bumps, while enjoying more portable features and functionality. A convenient carry handle doubles as a stand, so young learners can grab and go or set it and stand it for their viewing preference. Precision cutouts give full access to controls, ports, and cameras, making it easy to enjoy favorite videos, movies, and music.

As a bonus, this case features Targus DefenseGuard™ Antimicrobial Protection**, which helps to create a cleaner surface by preventing the growth of microorganisms and works continuously for the life of the product.

Targus' SafePort^® Clear Case for iPad^® (10th gen.) 10.9-inch lets students show off their colorful new iPad while wrapping it in superior protection. This protective case passes military grade 6 ft./1.8m drop testing (MIL-STD 810G)* with its clear, shock-absorbent back cover, protective snap-on front cover, reinforced corners, wrap-around bezel, and covered buttons. The kickstand of this case has been tested to withstand up to 44 lbs. of force making it durable enough to withstand kids' everyday use.

Beyond protection, it offers a variety of integrated features to boost functionality and versatility on the go. A built-in extra durable kickstand flips out to offer hands-free portrait and landscape viewing from multiple angles. Precision cutouts allow complete access to ports and cameras, and it also has a built-in stylus holder making it easy to store an Apple Pencil® (Pencil sold separately by Apple^®).

Targus will be showcasing its latest lineup of laptop and tablet cases and accessories for the education market during ISTELive 24 in booth #1882 at the Colorado Convention Center. Contact Rachel Neppes to schedule a booth tour or drop by.
