Radiator (TM) Wearable Ventilating Computer Case for 13"
MacBook by Civilian Lab
4 suction cup arrays on the
lid interior allows the case to stay attached to the laptop
while it is being used at a desk, in the field, or even in
bed, unlike other cases which fall away once opened. The
smooth surface of the MacBook (white model) leads itself
particularly well to this system - the suction cups make a
solid connection to the lid without straps or other crude
retainers and cannot leave any permanent marks. If the
MacBook needs to be easily removed from the case, the
ribbon at each suction cup can be looped over the cup to
break the suction until it is needed again. This lets it
function as a regular sleeve. Fast laptops can get very
hot. RADIATOR effectively insulated your lap with 5mm
(1/4") EVA foam (material commonly used for shoe outsole).
When in open position, the laptop bottom is tilted out of
the case (by suction holding the lid) allows air convection
to cool the core. Raising MacBook's back also corrects its
overly flat typing and viewing angles - improving
ergonomics.
RADIATOR cools when closed too. A bubble around the hot
spot is joined to the x-channels and draws cooler air in
while hot air escapes through a vent array. An orange
stopper seals the vents for outdoor use and Velcro it into
the spare bubble while vents are open. A matte black
exterior lends stealthy, elegant looks. The aesthetics
mirror the minimalist language of the Apple product line.
Inspired by the functionality of "jerry-can" fuel canisters
like those used on rugged trucks, RADIATOR's most
noticeable visual feature is the "X" truss which gives
structure and stiffness to the case. Most computer sleeves
are just made to go inside a bigger bag. While RADIATOR
does this of course, it also works in 2 other useful modes.
It comes with high quality shoulder strap with swiveling
snap-hooks and the box-stitched carry handles let you use
it like a small shoulder bag. Using Squidlock lid retainers
while hooking shoulder strap to side loops to create
"Work-station" mode.
