Kensington SecureBack Security Case with 2-Way Stand & ClickSafe Lock SKU# 39311 September 5, 2012 | Best Tools to Stop Gadget Thieves“Almost all laptops now have an industry-standard security slot. Cables that hook into that slot can anchor the laptop to a table or desk. They cost from $35 to $50 and weigh about a half a pound. The real benefit of these locks is in shared or well-trafficked spaces like dorm rooms or cubicles where a stealthy thief could slip an untethered laptop into a bag in just seconds. Cables do not provide fool proof security, as the cable can be cut, but they would slow a thief down enough to make them look elsewhere for an easier target. Also, with the increased popularity of the iPad, there are cases that lock onto the tablet and then hook into these standard laptop cables for similar protection.” -- Becky WorleyOnline Circulation: 60,844,716 unique visitors a month

Kensington Washable USB/PS2 Keyboard with Antimicrobial Protection SKU# 64406September 20, 2012 | The Dirt on Washable Keyboards“One nice feature of the Kensington is that it’s coated with antimicrobial resin to prevent growth of mold, mildew and fungus.
