A topic near and dear to my heart! We are considering HP Chromebooks for next year but have learned that the endo case <http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2935654> we love for our 11.5" HP's (we paid less than this site) is not available in that size... Like Ray, our data indicates that protecting the machines in backpacks (carried and abused 24x7 by the 9-12 crowd) with a hard case is an essential piece of the puzzle. Soft cases just don't do it, but has anyone found a good hard case for 14" and if so would it even FIT in a standard backpack? Would it make more sense to llok for hard shells instead? The damage we have seen with soft cases is corner cracks and crushed screens... *Eric Hall* *Technology Integration Specialist* *Mount Mansfield Union High School* *Chittenden East SU* *No trees were injured in the creation of this message, but a significant number of electrons were inconvenienced.* On Tue, Nov 4, 2014 at 3:32 PM, Keith Puffer <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Ray, > > Yup, kinda like that. > > Chris and others...HP Chromebook 14 users out there?
