Cases Loaded with Colours, Edgier Designs and Features Offering Young Professionals Hip Notebook Cases

Mississauga, ON - October 11, 2005 - Targus Canada, maker of the world's best-selling notebook cases and accessories, today launched the Urban collection of laptop cases. The Urban Topload, Urban Messenger and Vertical Messenger cases, aimed towards young professionals, offer an edgy look and feel. Targus has coupled bright colours with an urban-like design to offer young professionals an alternative to the traditional, uniform notebook case.

"Young urbanites want style as well as functionality," said Lisa MacDonald-Steward, Marketing Manager for Targus Canada. "Targus created the Urban collection to provide young professionals with cases that have a truly innovative and edgy design while maintaining a professional appearance. Additionally, these cases are designed to accommodate digital accessories beyond just the notebook computer, including special compartments for cell phones, MP3 players, and removable CD/DVD sleeve."

These fashionable cases are designed to meet the needs of a younger generation carrying notebooks. The lightweight, ballistic nylon cases with a rugged, weather-resistant bottom, feature orange highlights - a hint of colour that adds a bright internal background making it even easier to locate dark-coloured personal items within the case.

In addition to style, the cases are also designed for protection, including padded interior compartments lined with a soft, scratch resistant fabric to protect the notebook. Each fully functional case comes equipped with several storage compartments, including the custom front load iPod/MP3 pocket with a headphone port for added convenience. The Urban cases include pockets for all notebook and portable consumer electronic accessories, a six-slot CD/DVD holder and a removable accessory pouch.

Targus' Urban collection can be purchased via Targus Canada's website at www.targus.com/ca and at leading retailers including CompuSmart and London Drugs and beginning in January, at Best Buy and Future Shop. The Urban collection comes with the industry leading Targus Lifetime Warranty.
