The LapStrap is a strap with which you can carry your laptop over your shoulder. There's no protective case, just a nylon band which you lay across the computer before closing it. You're ahead of me here. You're wondering if you should dangle your $2000 notebook from your arm in city streets and crowded subways, right? Well, LapStrap has an answer to this apparently Frequently Asked Question:

As for your laptop being exposed, you always seem to "sub-consciously" keep it safe. Whether your laptop is over your shoulder or not, you seem not to "bang" it around when traveling.

Great. The laptop is kept safe by increasing the owner's anxiety. Not only that, the straps cost $25 apiece, and can be branded as corporate giveaways to further increase your public embarrassment. And when putting the picture together for this post, Photoshop tried to save it in the trash. Curiously prescient, no?
