Dear Crumpler Backpack, I Just Can't Crumple You

The King Single - Laptop and Backpack Awesomeness from Crumpler
Dear Crumpler Laptop Backpack … or The King Single, however you really prefer to be addressed:
 
I want to thank you for finally finding me, after all these years of stumbling around, smashing my previous laptop into sheetrock walls, car seats, hard concrete floors, people’s heads, campsite rocks, and sticky theater floors with only a very thin layer of Army/Navy surplus inbetween it and certain disaster. My old laptop decided to finally leave me altogether, most likely due to the torture and abuse I subjected it with, and really … can you blame her?
