THE DATAKEEPER (Previously Light)
The Datakeeper (previously Light) is a universal, full-time protective case for your students’ laptops or Chromebook. The same design as our incredibly popular Datakeeper 2.0, without a front accessory pocket.
Constructed from molded EVA foam, padded edges, and secure corner straps, the Datakeeper Light cradles your laptop, keeping it safe from drops and bumps.
Plus, a clear ID window makes identifying the laptop and its owner easy.
This always-on laptop case ensures that your devices are always protected. Students work in the case, which is never removed. The Chromebook or laptop is held in place with corner straps that are clear on the top to ensure the entire screen is viewable, and rubberized material below the computer ensures it will not slip out of the case. The construction of this case makes it thin and lightweight while offering powerful defense against any of life's events or accidents.
A convenient carry handle makes the Datakeeper very portable, and it’s no larger than a notebook or binder for students to carry. An optional shoulder strap is also available (pictured, but not included). The Datakeeper is built to last, and because it's universal, may very well outlast your devices. So stop the endless swap (and landfill) of plastic shells that quickly become obsolete with each new model.
Features:
- Always-on, work-from-case construction
- Molded EVA foam shell and padded edges
- Secure corner straps
- Carry handle and optional shoulder strap
- Zipper closure
- ID window

VaultED™ for Phone-Free Classrooms
In response to growing state mandates requiring the secure storage of student cellphones during school hours, Higher Ground has developed a purpose-built solution to help schools maintain focus and limit distractions.
The Higher Ground VaultED™ pouch is designed with both functionality and security in mind. It features our easy-to-clean CleanShell™ fabric and integrated RF shielding to block cellular and wireless signals, preventing unauthorized device use or notifications during class. A high-decibel Velcro® closure alerts staff to unauthorized access attempts, while the integrated ID window ensures quick identification and assignment. The durable, wipe-clean surface and D-ring attachment (to clip to an optional lanyard or bag) make it practical for everyday school use.
Unlike competing products which rely on a physical lock and dongle system, VaultED™ prioritizes security without sacrificing accessibility. Locking mechanisms have been able to be compromised by students, which may result in permanent damage to the pouch. Additionally, the daily unlocking process may require students to wait in line at designated exit points, slowing dismissal and creating unnecessary bottlenecks.
In contrast, VaultED™ provides immediate access in case of emergencies, while still effectively preventing use during school hours. At the end of the day, students can retrieve their devices without delays, ensuring a smoother and safer school environment.
Features:
- RF Shielding - Blocks wifi, bluetooth, and cellular signals
- Loud Velcro Closure – Extra-loud Velcro to alert staff of access attempts
- CleanShell™ Fabric – Durable, easy-to-clean fabric
- D-ring for clipping to optional lanyard or bag
- ID Window – Easily identify assigned users or pouches
- EVA Foam Layer for padded protection
- No-Lock, Emergency Access - Avoid exit lines to unlock and encourage student trust and respect
- Easier for schools to enforce Cell Phone ban policies.
- A fraction of the cost of locking cases which can be defeated.
