Robert, a Helicopter Crew Chief in the U.S. Army is a longtime Mobile Edge customer. He called in to Mobile Edge customer service after he had a slight rip on his backpack. His dilemma was he needed his backpack repaired or replaced within a quick period of time because he was leaving for Afghanistan with his unit.

Since Robert explained his situation, our customer service team wanted to ensure they had the backpack fixed or replaced in as little amount of time as possible. He sent his ScanFast 2.0 Backpack back to customer service at the Mobile Edge corporate headquarters.

When the backpack arrived, our Office Manager, Debbie Miller went to work. After identifying the problem, our best bet was to replace the Backpack with a new case utilizing the Lifetime Warranty.

Our shipping manager expedited shipping back to Robert in order to ensure delivery of his backpack before departing overseas. The ScanFast 2.0 Backpack was delivered with time to spare and Robert has used the backpack while in Afghanistan for several months now. He took the time to send in a few photos of him and his backpack thanking us for our superior customer service.

“Although all of customers are equally important to us and we try to make the return as quickly as possible, we made sure to expedite the process for Robert in order to get his backpack there before he and his unit deployed,” said Miller. “It’s the least we can do considering what he is doing to protect us here at home.”

From all of us here at Mobile Edge, thank you Robert for serving our country and for sending in your pictures while deployed overseas. We wish all the best and a safe return home soon.

The United States Military Academy at West Point is known as one of the world’s preeminent leader development institutions. The Academy Stores Director of Cadet Activities, Lenora Grable-Grant, met Noni Darakhshan, Director of Education Sales for Mobile Edge at a Trade Show and mentioned the incoming 2015 West Point Cadets were in need of new backpacks. Grable-Grant asked Darakhshan to submit a few laptop backpack suggestions to bid against other selections.

Darakhshan submitted a few ideas and had an idea for a custom backpack with an exterior ID badge holder to identify the individual Cadet.

“The customized Mobile Edge Backpack was a big hit with the Corp Of Cadets, the overall design, durability and features (i.e. pockets, storage units) were a big plus, explained Lenora Grable-Grant. “During the contract selection/testing phase, the Academy Stores conducted a survey amongst the Corp of Cadets and of the selection pool (5 different/varied backpacks) the Mobile Edge Backpack was chosen 7 out of 10 times amongst the 30 Cadets.”

Since the original design of this backpack bears a resemblance to a rugged military look and feel, it was not a surprise that the Mobile Edge Backpack was hands down the most popular amongst the Cadets.

“During the West Point Class of 2015 issue process, the upper classmen whom escorted the Class of 2015 Cadets were extremely complimentary of the design and durability of the backpack,” said Grable-Grant. “Several upper class Cadets (Class of 2012-2014) requested to purchase the backpack on the spot. The Cadets overwhelming noted that they were extremely satisfied with the overall makeup of the backpack and would highly recommend it to all.”

“Due to the overwhelming positive response from the Corps of Cadets, the West Point Academy Stores will definitely move forward with procuring Mobile Edge Backpacks in the future,” exclaimed Grable-Grant.

Another happy Mobile Edge customer. Rick from Fullerton, California shows off his new Mini Messenger with orange trim, and his older Mobile Edge V-Load Select Briefcase he has owned since 2004.

Rick has an iPad he uses and wanted a smaller case to use when traveling around. The Notebook Messenger gave him just the right amount of space for his new tablet. He didn’t need a full sized laptop bag so this was the ideal choice for him. He is still able to carry extra items he needs while on the go.

Rick loved the quality of his Mobile Edge V-Load Briefcase so much that when he needed a new case he came back to Mobile Edge as his first choice. The Lifetime Warranty was a big selling point. According to Rick, the fact a company like Mobile Edge that stands behind their products for life says a lot about the quality of their products.

I really hate flying. I’ve never been a big fan. I hate the high prices, the long lines, the rules, the regulations, the baggage fees, what you can carry on and what you can’t carry on. Honestly, I wonder if it isn’t just easier to drive.

But since sometimes driving is out of the question, I either have to fly or take the train and either way, I have to go through TSA checkpoints.

Let me make something clear: I don’t try to sneak stuff on planes that I’m not supposed to have. I obey the rules. That doesn’t mean I like the shakedown at the checkpoints.

When I first found out about Checkpoint Friendly laptop bags, I was more than just interested. Finally, a company is doing something to alleviate some of the misery at TSA check ins.

Mobile Edge has taken this a couple of steps further. The Anaheim, California based company, mindful of the needs of the traveler has designed a series of bags; ScanFast 2.0, that allows faster check through. The ScanFast 2.0 is designed so that the lap top need not be taken out of the bag while going through the X-ray machine. The bag zips open like a clamshell and lays flat so that the laptop in the sleeve is displayed and need not be taken out of the bag, run through and then packed back up causing delays and hold ups.

Mobile Edge doesn’t stop there. They have actually designed a bag with the computer user and the environment and the economy in mind.

Going Green:
Mobile Edge didn’t stop at just the computer user. They went after the computer user who is concerned about the environment as well. Utilizing a polymeric material called Sorona®, this material is partially made from corn. That’s right…corn. Other bags use nylon or polyester but Mobile Edge, in conjunction with DuPont™, has incorporated corn into the main material of their products thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 63% over those petroleum based products. Did I mention it’s also stain resistant? Did I mention the solid construction and sturdy zippers?
