Toughmate cases: are they worth it?

#1 Post by WittgensteinSergeant »

Considering buying one, are they any good for a CF-19?

I used to use a Toughmate case for my CF-30 when I carried it all the time by itself. I could throw the charger in there along with an extra battery or DVD drive. I don't see where you can do that for a CF-19. It looks like it is only there to protect against scratches.

Scratches are cool and add character!
Rugged Toughbooks of all types... CF-31s, CF-30s, CF-29s, CF-19s, CF-52s, CF-53s, CF-74s, CF-H2... Hmmm... What else can I buy, build or modify?

Well, since it has a X-Strap and stuff, and it looks pimp imo. I'd rather keep my TB tidy though.

I like their stuff and regularly sell it too. However, for me personally, I stick to the basics!! For example for my G1, I rock this out: http://www.toughmate.com/products/listing/53#gsc.tab=0

Simple :)

Wait what?? It's not $99 to ship something so small to ANYWHERE...

PM me and I can get you a realistic accurate shipping quote...

We get 75% off list. I can ship a Toughbook via international priority or overnight air for less $$ than ground 99% of the time...

(The 1% is JEFF DANIELS.... Don't live where Jeff lives or you cannot ship with my discount!! LOL!!!)
