Corporate bigwigs are known for their rabid affinity for three things: money, golf, and white collar shirts. Imagine showing up for a meeting with a brand-new Macbook. Sure, this would be awesome for just about any college kid, but how’s it going to affect your corporate rep? You must be trying to look cool and hip.

There must be a way to own the most beautiful of gadgets, and still be able to maintain your reputation as a grumpy old man. And even if you’re one of the members of the new corporate generation, this 9 to 5 Laptop Sleeve could stand as a wry message to all of the former suit-and-tie CEOs that you’re a rebel without a cause.

Enveloping your laptop like any other typical piece of hardware protection gear, the 9 to 5 Sleeve, padded with 1/4 in. of fabric, sends a message to your corporate board. It says “I’m so white collar that even my laptop wears a tie.” If you want to take control of the room without uttering a word, the 9 to 5 Laptop Sleeve might grab enough attention to snag the concerns of your co-workers for a full-on brainstorm session of corporate productivity.

The sleeve even has its own pocket for storing pens and pencils. You can buy your very own 9 to 5 Laptop Sleeve from Barry’s Farm for $40. Show your employees that you’re white collar through and through, even if your jeans and Reeboks say something different.
