Organize USB devices with laptop utility skin

Laptop utility skin organizes lightweight USB devices conveniently using velcro.

As one of the mobile generation, I wanted to solve issues with location and space for USB devices.

Professional and student journalism, photography, video and other media projects that require using multiple USB devices can benefit from this laptop utility skin.

If you need to publish to the web while mobile, try adding a USB wireless data card.

So bring some velcro (hook side) to the carpet store and find one that sticks?

Yep. Find the color and texture of indoor / outddoor carpet that you will like on your laptop. Although will have to buy a from a roll of carpet. Which means the minimum carpet cut will be enough for multiple laptops.

Most carpet stores have either random carpet samples or scraps that they'll give away for free... especially since you only need a really REALLY small amount.

Thanks. mrbob1000, yeah a very slim lightweight display would be cool. I think I will add similar additional utility. HP Pavillion dv600 series XP is shown in the video.
