How about a backpack with a built-in alarm system that works at the pull of a pin? Introducing iSafe’s Campus Laptop Backpack. At first glance, this may look like a regular bag, but it actually has the world’s loudest personal alarm system integrated directly into the pack. Simply lift the small velcro flap covering the activation cord, grab it with your fingers, and then pull – it’s as easy as that. To disengage the alarm, simply reinsert the pin back into the socket.

In addition to the built-in alarm system, the Campus Laptop Backpack also offers 7 spacious, zippered compartments, side mesh water bottle pockets, a padded computer sleeve (15.6″ screen size), a dedicated audio player pocket, and compfortable s-shaped vapel mesh airflow padded shoulder straps. After spending a few days with the backpack, and trying it out with various laptops (15″ Macbook Pro, 11″ MacBook Air, and an 11″ Chromebook Air) along with several gadgets (iPhone, external battery packs, etc.), we have to say that the comfort level exceeded our expectations. As a matter of fact, we plan on using this backpack for an upcoming hike, and will update this review once we do so. Fortunately, we haven’t had to use the alarm system in any dangerous situations, but one thing’s for sure, it’s LOUD. If you’re looking for a stylish and secure backpack that has added safety features for under $100, look no further than this backpack – highly recommended! Product page.
