SnapPack Ultra

Korin Design pitches the SnapPack Ultra, presented as a Kickstarter project, as a single bag for the airport, the office and everything in between. The maker frames its design around problems it identified through R&D: packing that is hard to organize, concern about theft, and the hassle of keeping devices charged on the move.

Security features

Theft deterrence is the headline. The maker says the shell uses a cut-resistant fabric intended to stop blade attacks, and the bag carries a TSA lock so airport inspectors can open it without breaking the lock. A hidden back pocket is provided for valuables such as passports and cash.

Storage and access

The main compartment opens a full 180 degrees, laying the contents flat so everything is visible at once. Inside, a modular organization system offers dedicated spaces for items such as a laptop, chargers and documents, according to the maker.

• Magnetic side pockets for a phone or water bottle, opened without a zipper
• Integrated top pouch for keys, pens and other small items
• Easy charging system that routes a charging cable from inside the bag to the outside, so a phone or tablet can charge while the power source stays packed
• Water-repellent outer fabric the maker says keeps light rain out
• Smooth, durable lining described as resistant to scuffing

Fit and finish

Korin Design says the SnapPack Ultra comes in multiple color options and with defined sizes and specifications so buyers can match it to their build and use. The shoulder straps are described as designed to reduce strain during long wear.

According to the source, Korin Design has launched 11 projects and received 16 backings, and the team describes its focus as products for users of 3C electronics, fashion and smart devices.
