Are you still toting your Laptop around without any protection?  That will never do!

To help you safeguard your expensive portable computers, we have a selection of Skooba Design Skooba Skins!

What’s a Skooba Skin? Quite simply put, it is a slim laptop sleeve that converts to a tote with the “flip of a flap”, allowing you to “protect your laptop while inside another bag, or carry it on its own”.  Skooba Skins are also Checkpoint friendly, which means you do not have to remove your laptop from them when going through TSA checkpoints at the airport. It’s a slim and secure time-saver!

To enter, leave a comment saying what kind of laptop you own, and let us know which Skooba Skin you would like to win. Easy-peasy! We will pick four winners at some point in the next day or so, so get your entry in now! =)

 

The fine print

The contests will cover the next two weeks leading us to September 30th, the actual anniversary of Gear Diary. This week we will be giving away a ton of review items. Almost all of them have been opened and lightly used for review, but all are in perfect working order without any significant cosmetic blemishes. Most have original packaging and any accompanying paperwork.

Each contest will last no more than two days with some taking far less time than that. To enter there will be some activity, task or challenge connected to each and every one of them. Among other things, we hope that these contests help you get to know the site and all of us even better.

The winners will be announced here on the site (not directly by e-mail), and will have just 24 hours from the time the announcement goes live to email us with their name and shipping address. After 24 hours, we reserve the right to either pick another winner or do a new contest with that item. Translation: if you enter a contest keep checking the site to see if you won.

Since we are going to have so many different items to give away over the next 14 or so days, we won’t be shipping any of them until the beginning of October, so please be patient with us. We promise, if you win one of the contests you will be getting your prize as soon as we can possibly make it happen. (And in advance, apologies, but we will only be shipping within the USA.)

I have had a fascination with all types of gadgets and gizmos since I was a child, beginning with the toy robot that my grandmother gave my brother - which I promptly "relieved him of" in 1973. I have long been captivated by devices that did anything interesting or served a unique purpose - however silly. I can't tell you how everything works – but I am known world-wide for using a product until I have a full understanding of what it does, what its limitations are, and if it excels in any given area...or not.

    Howdy Gear Diary! 
    We own a Dell XPS 1330, that my wife uses primarily. Either of those Microsuede Skooba Skins would look awesome for my wife!
    Thanks!

    I’m in the same boat as Arty…I’m entering on behalf of my wife, who uses a Dell 1420.  She probably wouldn’t object to any of them, but I think the blueberry suede…which brings an altered song to mind with apologies to the late King:

    “Well, it’s one for the money,
    Two for the show,
    Five for Gear Diary,
    Now go, cat, go.
    But don’t you step on my blueberry suede Skoobs.
    You can do anything but lay off of my blueberry suede Skoobs.” ;) That’s what she might be saying to our rambunctious kids!

    The 1617 tough black ballistic would be perfect for my honey’s new 15″ Gateway NV57H26U.  She’s only had it about a month, so extra protection is a plus.

    I have, among other things, a Cr-48, which I’d like to win the 1012 in Retro Brown Corduroy for.

    We had a Macbook Air 11″ right now. Our Windows laptop died a few weeks ago. Looking at replacements now. Lots of nice choices out there. The 1012 in retro Brown Corduroy, looks nice.
