  • A built-in asset tag window;
  • pop-up feet for inclined typing angles;
  • shock-absorbing materials to protect the device from accidental drops and dings;
  • a lightweight and slim form factor; and
  • black or gray color options.

According to information on the company's website, the new MAX Extreme Shell cases are available for numerous models of Chromebook, as well as the MacBook Air, HP Revolve and Dell Venue 11.
