Similar to the OFF Pocket, the HackShield backpack, messenger bag and wallet are lined with a material that blocks radio frequencies.

Das Keyboard delivers Radio Frequency Blocking Bags

prism-matrixWe all do value our privacy these days, but then again, there are moments when our privacy gets invaded – through no fault of our own, but rather, because the technology is there, and so is the know how, and more importantly, the malicious intent that lies behind it. Das Keyboard knows what a predicament it can be should your personal information get stolen, which is why they have come up with the innovative Das Keyboard HackShield Backpack as well as Messenger Bags that will feature RF (Radio Frequency) blocking technology and anti-theft access security in order to help safeguard your electronic devices and personal data within.

You might think at first, what is a company like Das Keyboard, who is better off making its high-performance mechanical keyboards so that ordinary folk like you and I are able to type faster while increasing our respective productivity levels, doing with man bags? I suppose we have no complaints after hearing out that they are branching into a totally new product category by rolling out its highly secure, radio frequency blocking bags. These will be known as the Das Keyboard HackShield bags, being the company’s one-of-a-kind backpack and messenger bags which will empower professionals who are always moving around and living out of a suitcase to enjoy an unprecedented level of protection against physical and digital intrusion.

In Das Keyboard’s quest to come up with what they call the perfect backpack, the end result is one which will offer better protection for an individual’s electronic devices against physical theft, in addition to delivering a new layer of security against illegitimate location tracking and digital pick-pockets who roam for meta data and other private information. The HackShield backpack and messenger bags will not have any exterior pockets for pick-pockets to have a field day with, and even the main compartment for each bag will come protected with Fidlock fasteners for anti-theft access security. Apart from that, the internal pockets have been specially lined with HackShield RF blocking material that will function as a “dead zone” around electronic devices so that it can prevent potential hacking attempts.

The Das Keyboard HackShield backpack and messenger bags will be available at $179 a pop.

Ask Engadget: best carry-on electronics bag?

Ask Engadget

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget inquiry is coming to us from Ben, who needs a stylish way to carry around his electronics haul. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

“Hey Engadget, I’m looking for your help in picking a new travel bag. Ideally, I’d like something that’s in a messenger format, but I’m open to other options if you can suggest them. Currently I’ve got a 13-inch laptop (and charger), iPad, noise cancelling headphones and the various bits and bobs that go with them. Any help you can provide would be great, thanks!”

This week, we’re revisiting a topic from January 2010, but given how much has changed since then, it’s well worth keeping it up to date. We’ve heard good things about the Timbuk2 Commute Messenger that we gave away as part of our Back to School sweepstake, but your humble narrator is still toting around a cumbersome (and less useful) Lowepro Fastpack 250, which the TSA doesn’t take kindly to. Still, that’s why we’ll open this up the floor and find out what you’re all rocking when it comes time for that gadget-laden cross-country jaunt.

Timbuk2 offers gadget charging packs

The modern day road warrior is definitely not content with just a mobile phone, it must be a smartphone. Of course, just in case the smartphone runs out of juice halfway during the journey, there is always a solution like a portable battery pack, or perhaps a collection of other devices such as a GPS navigation system to help you get around in unfamiliar territory when your smartphone is down and out on its battery life. Having said that, this would mean the modern day road warrior has plenty of chargers to remember each time he or she travels – and it is up to companies like Timbuk2 to come up with a new range of gadget charging packs.

This new line of gadget charging packs from Timbuk2 is the result of a collaboration with Joey Energy, where in an age of superheroes as well as teamwork, here we are with high fashion meeting technology in one package – all in the name of delivering the Power Commute messenger bag as well as Power Q backpack, where they will both come with Joey’s T1 power supply.

According to Timbuk2, this particular Joey T1 power supply is not available in the open market for individual sale. As it stands, it boasts a rugged, water-resistant case as well as come with a corded satellite USB for charging purposes. In order to make life a whole lot easier for busy commuters who are always on-the-go and want something more convenient to use, it has no buttons whatsoever, and the charging process will begin the moment you plug it in.

It will remain within a dedicated pouch in each bag, ensuring you enjoy nothing but the simplest experience when it comes to on-the-go charging of laptops, tablets, smartphones and other gadgets. It must be noted, however, that the Timbuk2/Joey packs will not be accompanied by solar panels or other eco-friendly charging hardware. How does it get the job done then? For starters, the Joey T1 will receive juice by being connected to a standard wall outlet, in addition to a pass-through feature that enables you to simultaneously charge the T1 and an external device.

As for the Power Commute, this is a TSA-compliant laptop bag that not only comes with a Joey charger, but will also include a removable shoulder strap and faux fur-lined phone/gadget compartments. Regardless of which model you choose, they will arrive this October for $199 a pop.
