As most mobile computer systems (laptops and notebooks) are not provided with a carrying case by their respective manufacturing companies, there are some accessories producers like Targus that are specialized in offering dedicated laptop carrying solutions. Targus announced its first worldwide available eco-friendly laptop cases under the name of EcoSmart which is a new line of products containing messenger bags, backpacks and top loading laptop carrying cases.

Targus designed this line of products from PVC-free materials in order to have a much reduced environmental footprint which is further reduced as all plastics used are recyclable and all metal hardware components are nickel-free. According to a press release Targus is launching the new line of products as part of a global campaign to become a more environmentally conscious company, so the EcoSmart line of mobile computing accessories and cases is the emblem of the more eco-friendly approach.

"Targus understands the need for programs and practices that will make a contribution to the environment," said Al Giazzon, vice president of marketing at Targus. "Our EcoSmart initiative demonstrates our dedication to reducing the negative impact on natural resources by not only providing environmentally-friendly products, but also by incorporating eco-friendly practices company-wide to help preserve our natural resources."

The new Targus line of products from the EcoSmart family comes with four distinct styles that include sling, messenger, convertible messenger to backpack and top loading mobile computing case. All these products are built around a padded notebook sleeve which is composed of a scratch resistant material and additionally they provide a security strap and a specialized accessories compartment that comes with a key hook, pen loops and several pockets as well as other storage options.

Most of the Targus new lines of products from the EcoSmart family are designed to accommodate 15.4 inch laptop and notebook mobile computer systems and they also include a detachable and tuck-away shoulder strap. Targus proudly presents these laptop cases with a lifetime warranty and they will soon be available at online stores as well at select retail partners and mobile computer manufacturers.
