About The Flak Jacket Plus Classic
The Flak Jacket Plus Classic laptop case with pocket and handle offers the same great design as the popular previous Flak Jacket but with a larger front pocket, providing more room for your power supply and accessories. Combining shock absorbing foam with multiple layers of corrugated, plastic stiffeners, the Flak Jacket delivers complete and superior protection for your device. As always, all handles, straps and stress points are bar tacked and built to last. Don’t let your device leave without its jacket!
Chromebook, Mac, and Tablet Friendly
Chromebooks, Macbooks, iPads and tablets find a familiar and well-fitted home in the Flak Jacket Classic, which comes in two sizes to fit both 11-inch and 13- to 14-inch laptops and tablets. The Flak Jacket has been the first line of protection for many major 1-to-1 programs throughout the world. The results speak for themselves in cost reduction and decreased student downtime. Equally great for tablets with keyboards. Ruggedized protection that is built to last!
Surfing The Web
Though much of Higher Ground's gear is designed for couch surfing, you won't find neoprene here. The soft, spongy material is great for wetsuits however neoprene is less desirable when it comes to drop or shock protection for your laptop. The Flak Jacket's polyurethane foam provides superior protection.
Protective Armor
The Flak Jacket combines highly shock absorbing foam with corrugated plastic stiffeners to provide complete protection from your laptop in a slim, lightweight solution. Don't let your laptop or tablet leave the house without its jacket.
This laptop and tablet case doubles as a convenient carry bag for 11-, 13- and 14-inch tablets and laptops. Don’t rely on cheap neoprene cases to protect your valuable educational equipment. Instead, choose Higher Ground to know that your devices will survive trips to school, home and back again.

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.

- VAULTED - Fits up to an iPhone 16 Max Pro or Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (with case)
