Quick Pitch

Laptops, Ultrabooks and MacBooks - portable and convenient but using them on the go can by anything but - constantly putting them in and taking them out of the case, looking for a place to sit or worse balancing them on your hand can be a hassle and dangerous to your laptop.

FlipCase solves that problem.  FlipCase is the only laptop carrying case that allows you to use your computer IN THE CASE while either sitting or standing.  That’s right, you never have to remove your computer from the case while sitting or standing.

FlipCase is easy to use, lightweight, convenient and SMART!

For people on the go, who need to work on their computers while on the go, FlipCase is YOUR carrying case.

Your laptop is ready to go when you're on the move and ready to use when you open the case.  So simple, so easy, and so SMART!

Key Features

FlipCase does what NO OTHER case on the market does - it opens quickly and easily to allow you to work on your computer almost instantly while sitting or standing!  Waiting for the bus? Finish that spreadsheet.  Flying on the plane and the person in front of you has their seat reclined so you can't use the tray? Use your FlipCase and work right out of the case.

With patented hinges that connect the case to the shoulder strap, FlipCase opens easily and gives you instant access to your laptop. FlipCase offers safety and security for your laptop and is balanced when opened.   There are corner security straps that hold your laptop firmly in place on an elevated platform that provides ventilation and access to ports and drives.  FlipCase closes as quickly as it opens - you just shut down and go!   And the comfortable carrying strap is designed to keep the pad on your shoulders - not on your neck.

Who benefits from FlipCase? 

Commuters, Students, Audio/Video Techs, Field Techs, Medical Professionals, Special Needs Population, Appraisers, Journalists, Reporters, Surveyors, Construction Sites, Adjusters, Military Personnel, Warehouse Personnel, Engineers, Inspectors, etc.   aka:  Content Creators all over the GLOBE!

Traction and Funding Needs

In August of 2010, a US Utility Patent was issued for FlipCase's unique hinge system.  Also, two foreign patents have been issued in 2012.  Since FlipCase has major global implications, it was very important to try to secure foreign patents in addition to the US patent.  FlipCase is a Registered Trademark in the US.

Personal investment was not only put into the patenting process but has also been dedicated to the design and engineering of the hinge system and prototyping of the hard and soft case designs. 

We are raising money on Fundable to help cover the tooling costs for the hinges.  RFQs have been obtained and US manufacturing companies are lined up and ready to go as soon as funds are secured.   

About the Business and Team

An idea born in our living room!


Yes, that's true, as so many ideas are...my husband was watching me carry my laptop on my hand from room to room and suggested that I find something that will let me suspend my laptop in front of me, "like the cigarette ladies".   I did search the internet for such an item and found that nothing existed.  Recognizing that this is a problem for many individuals that commute or work in the field, we began developing a concept. 

Patent searches, patent applications, crude prototype building, better prototype building, design and engineering experts consulted, etc.  brings us to where we are today. 

Our team consists of myself, Stacey Mitchell and my husband, Kevin Mitchell.  We bring over 17 years of experience from owning and operating a successful small business in our community and employing up to a dozen people.  Our small service business was closed in late 2011 due to extensive damage suffered from a neighboring fire. 

Since then, we have devoted all time and energy into bringing FlipCase to market.
