The Itrox Neoprene Magnetic Bag for Tablets was inspired by the increasing popularity of tablets and smartphones in our daily lives. Designer Maurel Frederic noticed the lack of bags that could provide both security and convenience for these devices, especially when traveling. To address this need, he conceived a special bag based on magnetic technology that not only securely carries tablets but also smartphones and other everyday devices.
The bag is made from neoprene fabric, providing a protective pad for the tablet. It features four multi-stretchable pockets that can hold phones, USB keys, stylus pens, business and credit cards, passports, tickets, cash, and more. Inside the bag, magnets and an anti-shock stainless steel case securely hold the tablet and allow it to be positioned in six different viewing angles.
The Itrox bag is designed to be simple, light, and slim, allowing users to carry all their essentials in one stylish package. It eliminates the need for multiple bags and wallets, streamlining the user's daily carry. The bag's minimalistic and sleek design respects the original design of the tablets it carries.
During the design process, Maurel Frederic conducted extensive research to ensure the bag's functionality and safety. The choice of magnetic technology was based on its superior security compared to traditional straps used in tablet bags. The neoprene material was selected for its resistance and anti-shock properties. Prototypes were tested in real-life situations, and user feedback was incorporated into the final design.
The Itrox Neoprene Magnetic Bag for Tablets comes in two sizes: ITROX BIG SIZE (28 x 24.8 x 1.5 cm, 448g) and ITROX MINI SIZE (22.5 x 17 x 1.5 cm, 252g). It was first exhibited in April 2013 at the HKTDC and has since received recognition for its innovative design. In 2014, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Fashion and Travel Accessories category.
With its combination of convenience, safety, and style, the Itrox Neoprene Magnetic Bag for Tablets is a game-changer in the world of tablet accessories. Whether at home or on the go, this bag provides a secure and versatile solution for tablet users.
