Flak Jacket Plus 3.0 laptop case

The Higher Ground Flak Jacket Plus 3.0 is a slim, lightweight briefcase-style laptop case in grey. It uses shock-absorbing foam and an internal corrugated shield to protect devices up to 15.75 x 10.5 x 1.5 inches from bumps and scratches. A sturdy, smooth zipper secures the main compartment while a rear ID window allows quick identification.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This case fits Chromebooks, Ultrabooks and MacBooks with screen sizes from 11 to 16 inches, covering many Apple, HP and Lenovo models listed in the specifications. It is not suited for users whose laptops exceed the stated maximum dimensions or who need a backpack-style carry solution. Buyers wanting a dedicated tablet sleeve or a hard-shell case should consider other designs.

Installation ease and common issues

Using the case is straightforward: open the zipper, place the laptop inside and close it securely. The removable shoulder strap adjusts easily for crossbody or shoulder carry, and the handles provide a briefcase option. The main risk is selecting a device that is thicker than 1.5 inches, which prevents the zipper from closing properly. Overloading the front organiser pocket can also strain the zipper over time.

Questions about this item

Will my 15.75 x 10.5 x 1.5 in laptop fit inside this case?

Yes, the case accepts devices up to 15.75 x 10.5 x 1.5 in, matching the maximum dimensions listed for the Flak Jacket Plus 3.0.

Can I still use the removable shoulder strap if I switch to a lighter ultrabook later?

The strap detaches easily, so you can carry the case by its handles alone when you move to a smaller device.

How do I know the shock-absorbing foam is protecting my laptop after I pack it?

The lid closes flat and the zipper runs smoothly around the full perimeter, showing the internal corrugated shield and foam are seated correctly.
