Custom Molded Case Development: Faster Production, Superior Protection

In today’s fast-paced school environment, protection and efficiency go hand-in-hand when it comes to safeguarding valuable technology. Schools need laptop and tablet cases that are not only highly protective but also quick to develop and produce. At Higher Ground Gear, our custom molded ShochGUARD cases are crafted specifically to meet these needs, combining robust device protection with industry-leading turnaround times. Here’s why our custom molded cases may be the ideal choice for schools looking to ensure device safety without long delays.

Why Choose Molded Cases for Schools?

Custom molded cases, such as our ShochGUARD line, provide a tailored fit and elevated protection beyond standard cases. Unlike universal-fit options, custom molded cases are designed specifically for each device model, offering a snug, precise fit that minimizes movement and maximizes protection. And thanks to streamlined production processes, our molded cases have lead times nearly 50% faster than traditional cut & sew cases, making them a smart choice for schools with tight schedules.

Beyond Standard Protection

While no case can offer 100% protection, Higher Ground’s ShochGUARD cases are designed to exceed typical standards, delivering the functional security students need:

  • Innovative Material Selection: We test various materials to ensure our cases provide robust protection without adding unnecessary bulk.
  • Real-Life Testing: Each case undergoes rigorous testing to simulate daily wear and tear in the classroom environment.
  • Fit for Every Need: We offer a range of molded case sizes and designs, ensuring every school can find the ideal case for its devices.
  • Iterative Development: Our team continually prototypes, tests, and refines new concepts, keeping us at the forefront of the industry.
  • Lifetime Guarantee: Our cases come with a risk-free trial and lifetime guarantee, showcasing our commitment to quality and durability.

Speed Meets Precision: Our Production Timeline

A significant advantage of our molded cases is the rapid development process, ideal for schools needing quick solutions. Here’s how we ensure faster production:

  • Mechanical Drawings: 3-5 days to create accurate, device-specific drawings.
  • Tooling: 30-40 days for custom tooling, including adjustments for features like 360° flip covers.
  • Production: 5-7 days for initial runs (based on a 5,000-unit order).
  • Shipping: 20 days for transit, plus an additional 5 days for domestic delivery.

Overall, this process results in a 65-day turnaround from order to delivery—nearly half the time it would take for traditional cut & sew cases.

Innovation in Every Design

At Higher Ground Gear, we pride ourselves on delivering cases that stand out in both form and function. From initial concept to final product, our design process is meticulous. Each ShochGUARD case is thoughtfully engineered with reinforced corners, shock-absorbent materials, and easy-grip surfaces, combining high-level protection with user-friendly features.

Customer-Centric Solutions

We understand that every school’s needs are unique, which is why we prioritize adaptability. For instance, when our customers expressed the need for cases tailored to specific 14" Chromebook models, we immediately responded with a solution. This flexibility ensures that each school receives exactly what they need to protect their investments.
