ABSTRACT:
A carrying case for electronic equipment such as a notebook computer includes a pair of opposed walls, a plurality of side walls connected therebetween to define a principal compartment for receiving the notebook computer, and a suspension member affixed to an upper portion of one of the opposed walls and depending downwardly therefrom into the principal compartment. The suspension member includes upper and lower supports to cradle the notebook computer and an elastic panel disposed between the upper and lower supports to absorb any shock which would otherwise occur due to the carrying case being abruptly dropped. Alternatively, the suspension member can be an elastic panel having opposed ends supported by an upper portion of one of the opposed walls to define an elastic sling which depends downwardly from the wall within the principal compartment to receive the notebook computer. The suspension member can also be releasably connected between the opposed walls to define a shock absorbing cradle which can be removed so that the carrying case can be used for other purposes.
