Travelers rejoice!
If you are the type who likes to stay productive whilst transiting various airport lounges and cafés, the Cocoon Grid It system may just be your knight in shining rubberized woven elastic. The grid comes in various sizes and bundles to accommodate even the heaviest gadget-laden travelers; some models include a sleeve for tablets, which creates an easy access portable office. Most options are under a pound, but create a massive space savings despite the additional weight.
Traveling with a open-layout roller bag back makes the Grid It an absolute necessity; otherwise all the cords, plugs and USB adapters end up floating around at the bottom of the bag. As a backpack traveler, the Grid It made me instantly feel like a grown up. Fellow café goers almost always do a double take, which melts into a wistful look of gear lust when the Grid It emerges from my bag.
Don’t be afraid to get your geek on while traveling. Take control of the addiction and get your gear under control.
