kaws x incase x arkitip








did i ever show you my laptop and it's case ?
to be honest, my laptop is on the way out... it's in a bit of a bad way.
maybe father christmas will bring me a new one this year ? 
perhaps the best thing about it is the sticker with chinese characters 
and the english phrase "beware of your hands"

the case i have for my laptop though... the case is very very nice indeed.








it is a colab between kaws, incase and arkitip magazine
as you can see from the tags on the inside.
the inside is split into two sections by the way, one section as seen above is lined
with a padded soft furry material, which is the side i trust with my laptop.








the other side is lined in a silky / satin material which has signature kaws
figures worked into it









the same kaws figures are engraved into the rubberised exterior
kaws is one of those love him or hate him characters isn't he ?
is he a genius or a one trick pony and a chancer ?
of late i'm beginning to be of the opinion that he's pushing his luck a bit.








er, moving on... here's a shot which kind of shows how nicely padded this case is
and one of the two original fake / incase zip pulls








although my opinion of kaws and the whole original fake thing is on the slide
i have to say, this is a cracking item.
airline baggage security staff, you know, the people at airports who make you
take your laptop out of your carry-on bag... well i reckon that they see a
fair amount of laptop cases during their day, but i would say that 8 times out of 10
i get one of them commenting ( favourably ) when they see this laptop case.

oh, it came free with an issue of arkitip magazine too.
what a touch !


( occasionally you can find one on ebay but they are about £100 or so )
