Seriously, where is my d3o laptop sleeve?

I have previously blogged about a really neat substance d3o. It is flexible at rest, but hardens instantaneously on impact. It has been used in ski racing suits, soccer shin pads, gloves and toques.

I still think that the best application for d3o is in laptop sleeves. I have googled extensively for such a product, but my searches have turned up nothing. Buying a roll of d3o myself and making my own is an option, but d3o labs doesn’t sell sheets of the stuff.

Shall we start a petition?

  1. Have you considered buying the smallest quantity the manifacturers WILL provide and creating multiple sleeves? Perhaps you could copyright the product. If you want one there must be a market for it. You could make money selling them.

  2. The manufacturers won’t sell d3o on its own. I could buy products that have d3o in them, but that could get expensive pretty quickly.

  3. Ha! Looks like good material with which to make a Futon Poncho!

  4. Maybe we should buy a roll and go into business together Paddy…..oh too bad we can’t actually buy the stuff.
