PLATFORMA G

Proudly presenting Platforma G Limited Edition leather messenger bag for iPad. 

G stands for Gun metal - the color of G's special hardware, which is hand polished and electroplated. Every clip, zipper pull, D-ring and rivet has a rich, reflective, dark chrome beautiful finish. Just like the original, our luxurious Platforma G uses only the best, hand selected leather. The G exudes the image of power and sophistication.

Inspired by our hands-free Across carrying case, the Platforma vertical convertible messenger bag for iPad has many tricks up its flap. You can wear it as a bag or as a backpack. It also becomes your mobile desk anywhere, allowing you to use your iPad without holding it with your hands. You can work standing up with both hands free to type! The design is clean and functional, and the bag is beautifully made. Watch the video and look at additional photos. The blog post on the MacWorld/iWorld 2013 Expo has a short video showing the bag mechanics perfectly. You may also want to check out our new Platforma LT featuring a nylon flap.

A note about other tablets:
Please contact us. The interface plastic cover will need to be changed. We may be able to help you.  We really care.

A note about the magnets:
We have done extensive testing, both with WiFi and with the 3G and found nothing alarming. We could not detect any problems in operation... Speed, reception, etc. were intact. The only drawback is the compass interference - and understandably so. GPS, 3G, WiFi, and everything else worked fine. Our credit cards were also perfectly fine after using the bags for many months. We continue to use the bags every single day.

However, if you are wearing a pacemaker, or another device sensitive to magnetic fields, please do not use the bag.
