padded hard casetablet + netbook mini-messenger

Part of our Sidekick™ collection of small. nimble. modular bags. the Kato™ is our tablet-carry solution. Its size and layout were specifically designed around the tablet and netbook computer. Its fast-access. padded. and quilted back-pocket cradles your tablet while the other compartments allow you to store various essential gear. which no mere sport/business bag offers.

This version uses our new Grayman™ fabric for a more urban look.
