The 21st Century Laptop Backpack

I was looking at these $100 backpacks with a built in sleeve for carrying a laptop and thought "WTF man? I can come up with something better than that for like 30 bucks"

The backpack is a SWISS brand, three pocket backpack that I found at a national department store for $19.99. With some scrap foam, a tote bag, tackle box and three ring canvas folder you have a great solution for everyday hauling to your office or school.

The foam thing is so simple! I also really like the use of the shelving liner to reduce noise from things moving around. Nicely done! Thanks for posting.

Very nice! I had a similar project in mind a few months ago when I was bringing my laptop to school almost every day. I'll keep this in mind.

I carry my laptop everywhere with me in a backpack that has a compartment for a camelback. I keep it in a laptop hoodie http://www.instructables.com/id/Hoodie-Laptop-Sleeve/ to stop it getting scratched up...

Good job on the other mods...
