Targus® Named as CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree for New Sustainable Backpack Equipped with Find My™ Technology

ANAHEIM, Calif., Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Targus, a leader in laptop cases and mobile computing accessories, today announced it has been named a CES® 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree for its Cypress Hero EcoSmart® Backpack, featuring built-in Apple® Find My™ Technology.

Slated for retail availability next spring, this innovative laptop backpack features a built-in tracking device that connects to its owner's iPhone® to find the location of his or her personal tech and other belongings inside the backpack to keep them safe and secure whether at home, in the office, or on the go. Or if the iPhone® gets lost, the backpack will find it on the Find My network.

As an added benefit, the equivalent of 26 plastic water bottles in recycled materials were used in producing each backpack.

Built to fit laptops up to 16 inches, it is intelligently designed with a dedicated padded laptop compartment and plenty of pockets and storage compartments for carrying and organizing multiple devices and personal items.

"With today's mobile consumers who carry several devices and personal belongings, keeping track of them all can be challenging," says Scott Elrich, Director, Global Product Management – Soft Cases. "We have combined the latest Apple technology with a smart, carefully designed backpack that meets the needs of today's mobile and eco-conscious consumers for superior comfort, convenience, and functionality – whether at home, in the office, or on the go."

This year's CES Innovation Awards program received a record high number of over 1,800 submissions. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2022, the world's most influential technology event, happening Jan. 5-8 live in Las Vegas, NV and digitally.

The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in 27 consumer technology product categories.
