This reminds me a lot of those funky [vintage 70s magazine clutch purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floppy-disk-wallet) that women used to carry in an effort to trick thieves into thinking that they were carrying a rolled-up magazine instead of a handbag. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stealthy Computer Cases:** Opportunity to develop innovative laptop cases that disguise the device to deter theft. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Technology:** Potential for laptop case manufacturers to create hidden, secure laptop cases for consumers. - **Fashion:** Chance for fashion designers to develop stylish laptop cases that camouflage as everyday items. - **Security:** Opportunity for security companies to create anti-theft laptop cases that blend in with common objects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Theft-Thwarting Laptop Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laptop-lock.md) - [Alarm-Equipped Laptop Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antitheft-laptop-device.md) - [Shock-Absorbing Laptop Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-5.md) - [Laptop-Stowing Portable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapcase.md) - [Book-Inspired Tech Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve-south-bookbook-caddysack.md) - [Fray-Free Fabric Laptop Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabric-laptop-case.md) - [Impact-Resistant Laptop Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impactresistant-laptop-case.md) - [Security-Enhancing Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cirotta-case.md) - [Anti-Theft Backpack Straps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopit.md)
