Do you own a laptop computer?

Have you ever noticed that the keyboard is leaving marks on the LCD screen?

Apple PowerBooks made since the 1998 Wallstreet models all the way up to the brand new PowerBook G4 Titanium have had problems with their keyboards coming into contact with the delicate LCD display and leaving marks on the screen that sometimes will not come off. Most are oils left from your fingers on the key caps; however, some are not removable.

Why take a chance?

We at Other World Computing have been troubled by this for a number of years. And instead of just putting up with the problem, we decided to do something about it. We have created.....

Made of 100% top grain leather cowhide, this is a beautiful solution to the problem. Finely crafted from first quality 1 oz. (approximately 1-2 mm thick) black vegetable tanned cowhide, it is an elegant accessory for any laptop. Please note, this is an all NATURAL product. Some slight marks, or blemishes may appear on the surface of the protector. This is not because of low quality, it should be viewed as proof of a genuine leather product.

Leather has always been thought of as one of the most durable natural materials, and it is also very soft. The leather used to create the Laptop Screen Protector is glove soft, you can be assured that it will protect your screen from any marks. The Laptop Screen Protector has one side of the leather finished in a smooth, tight pinpoint grain, called a chrome finish, to protect your screen from any lint or dirt gathered by an unfinished hide. The back side that lays on top of the keyboard is a soft suede backing, natural unfinished leather hide.

Vegetable Tanned Leather is definitively the best answer to your requirements of a top quality product which is, at the same time, respectful of the environment. Vegetable tanning is the result of a natural product processing, superb in both technical details and quality procedures. It is a mixture of technological innovation, scientific research and the best tanning tradition of Tuscany. The result of this particular processing is a top quality range of products, more and more wear resistant and destined to improve with time. The leather hide used in this product is tanned exclusively by means of substances derived from plants and barks, according to an ancient tradition which dates back to early history.

Care of the Laptop Screen Protector is also very easy, we suggest that you do NOT do anything to it. We do not recommend that you wash, or treat the leather protector, since laundry detergents or cleaning products could cause problems with your screen or keyboard.

The Laptop Screen Protector is 11-1/2" x 5"; designed to fit easily over any standard keyboard. Be certain to check your keyboard dimensions to insure that it will fit properly. The protector was designed to work with any Apple PowerBook or iBook made from 1998-2001(Wallstreet, Lombard, Pismo, Titanium, and all iBooks), but it will work perfectly well with any other laptop computers. We have also been told that the Laptop Screen Protector works great with Compaq, Dell and Sony notebooks and subnotebooks, as they have been reported to have screen clearance problems also.

The Laptop screen protector also ships with a Kleer Screen Apple Polish one time use screen cleaner & wipe. We suggest you use it to give your screen (and keys) a fresh start before using the protector Click HERE for our detailed instruction page on how to properly clean and care for your laptop screen.

The LapBottom

The LapBottom has a comfortably padded underside which grips your lap.  The top combines raised ridges and non-slip feet to provide air flow under your laptop while holding it in place.  It is made of light weight and durable materials.Measuring 12 1/4" x 9 1/2", it compresses to just under an inch thick.

This effective accessory provides:

  • A comfortable and ergonomic way to use your laptop where it was meant to be!
  • Added stability at home or while traveling!
  • The air flow your laptop needs to cool itself and last longer!
  • Additional padding and protection when included in your carry case !

Now shipping with new gripper pads that grip your laptop better and give you an even more secure work surface. In addition, an extra set of thicker gripper pads is included for those who prefer to use their laptop in a slightly slanted position.

The LapBottom will NOT provide you with more work space, a swiveling base, added storage, change the balance of your laptop, nor will it give you a place for your cellular phone!

The LapBottom was designed for simplicity and comfort.  Those who use it, love it!


RoadTools Podium CoolPad

Adjustable Comfort

The stackable risers let you adjust the keyboard incline by 1/2" increments.

Rock-solid

The base plate's trapezoidal shape and the 'Lexan' risers provide a rock-solid, stable base for serious typists. 'Furniture friendly' rubber feet really grab any surface.

Natural Convection

Increasing the air space under your laptop will allow better heat dissipation. Your laptop heats the surrounding air. This hot air rises and is replaced by cooler air which creates a slow natural convection current.

Finding your comfort zone

Using a laptop comfortably for sustained use can be difficult because the laptop's design is a problem - when the screen is at a comfortable height, the keyboard isn't... and vice versa.

Here's the paradox. Your eyes should be in line with a point on the screen about 2" below the top of the screen... and touch typists should keep their wrists as flat as possible. Doing both at the same time is mission impossible with a laptop.

One study concluded the most significant problem caused by laptops was neck strain.

Alan Hedge, Prof. of Ergonomics Cornell Univ. wrote:
"Beg, borrow or steal an external keyboard and mouse for desk work. ....be sure to elevate and position the screen to approximate looking at a real monitor."

'Hunt and peck' typing causes your head to bend forward to locate the keys causing neck strain. Raising the rear of the keyboard to the steepest angle lets you see the keys so much better and because you use your whole arm to hunt and peck, wrist strain is not the issue, neck strain is.

This Podium CoolPad gives you a better chance to find your own comfort zone... and dissipate that heat.
