Since Apple has released the new versions of the MacBook and MacBook Pro, it’s essential that they get the best possible protection. In step Proporta is ready to lend a helping hand… Proporta’s Protective Laptop Bag is the perfect carry case for your MacBook. Made from tough Cordura, this is a fantastic product to protect your laptop whilst on the move. Padded lining safeguards your laptop from bumps and impact damage as a result of every day travelling, and the numerous individual compartments allow you to keep each of your devices and items such as cables and chargers, separate for quick and easy access. In addition, and for extra security, a fabric hinge prevents the laptop bag opening all the way back and exposing your devices.

The Proporta Protective Laptop Bag comes complete with a shoulder strap, plus neatly hidden away rucksack straps, which enable you to carry your laptop and its respective accessories on your back if carrying for a long period of time. P.S. As praised by the one and only Mr. Stephen Fry in his famous ‘Dork Talk’ column, the Proporta Gadget Bag and Magnetic Cable Tidies are definitely not to be forgotten when off on your travels.

Although the new 4G iPod nano is exceptionally pleasing on the eye, its battery life is rumoured to have a lot to live up to. Proporta has the perfect accessory that you can take with you wherever you go, meaning you need never be without a spring in your step again.

The Mobile Device Charger - Micro packs an impressive 1700mAh of power so you can charge it from any convenient USB port and in turn power your Apple 4G iPod nano up to two and a half  times longer. Measuring in at a mere 88 x 50 x 14.5mm, the Mobile Device Charger - Micro comes complete with a USB to Mini USB cable as well as a retractable cable with adaptors enabling you to charge and recharge your iPod, Nokia, Micro USB, PSP, Samsung or Sony Ericsson device anywhere.  And because the Mobile Device Charger - Micro outputs to a standard USB port, it will charge anything that can be charged from USB (you can use your normal cable). For the travelers among us, Proporta also recommends their Car Power Supply with USB Socket and AC Travel Charger (with USB Socket) for use in Europe, USA, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and elsewhere, as well as a handy little drawstring bag to keep it all in.

The Maya Case is one of the most popular members of the Proporta family to date and we have a sneaking suspicion that it’s smaller sibling may very well follow in the Maya Case’s footsteps. The beautifully crafted Mini Maya Pouch has been designed specifically to keep your Apple 4G iPod nano safe as houses. Just like his bigger brother, the Mini Maya Pouch is available in enough colours to make a rainbow jealous and will ensure that your device is kept safe from everyday knocks and bumps.

As if that wasn’t enough, Proporta is offering all their lovely customers a rather lovely deal to boot. Simply purchase any Mini Maya Pouch (Apple 4G iPod nano) from Proporta (usual price £11.95/$20.95) and you can get a second case for a total price of £15.95/$15.95. Proporta believes that it’s always better to be safe than sorry and have designed an Advanced Screen Protector (Apple 4G iPod nano). Made from a ultra-high clarity plastic, Proporta has managed to improve the quality without increasing the thickness. They can also be washed and replaced (that’s the screen protectors, not Proporta). P.S. The Proporta Gadget Bag is portable protection for all your devices on the go.
