A pocket protector is strictly optional and has to be purchased separately.

You can buy on of these groovy laptop sleeves for $40 from Barry’s Farm. The sleeve is made of heavy duty vinyl and padded with 1/4 fabric backed foam, with a flannel lining to caress your computer.

This kind of reminds me of those severed female torso mice from a few weeks back, except in a more masculine, buttoned-up format. Glad to see there is some gender equality when it comes to severed torso-inspired design.

PC Salt and Pepper

I’m not sure I want to think about my PC during meals but I know there are folks out there who would like to seamlessly integrate computer references into every single aspect of their lives (not to mention, their Second Lives) so I’m guessing that’s the target market. You can buy them from Gifts for Engineers, so if you haven’t found the perfect gift for the dorky Dad or grad in your life, now’s the perfect time to fork over $10.95 and get these on the table!
