Change It Up
Bring a little personality to your messenger case with Targus’ eye-catching Fusion range.
The colours in the matt spun-twill material range are wheat, charcoal and chocolate, and each case comes with three different coloured shoulder straps. So mix and match according to your mood. And soon you’ll have even more options, with Targus separately selling an extended version of its shoulder strap range.
All cases come with a neoprene sleeve to protect your notebook, and an additional flap so your notebook stays hidden when you’re accessing other storage sections.
For $99.95, this compact and lightweight case offers a lot of style.

Feel naked without your phone? Does panic flood your heart whenever the battery hits the last bar?

Running off two AA lithium batteries, the lightweight device can provide you with up to nine hours of extra talk time.
For $34.95 have peace of mind, and know you can remain connected.
