For some laptop users, a ride on the information superhighway is enough of a trip. Mike Simonian and Maaike Evers, who work together as—guess what?—Mike and Maaike, realized that while putting up with lap burn at the coffee shop is one thing, people who use their computers at home were really missing out on terrific choices of “locations and postures, protection, transport, comfort and color.” They teamed with Belkin to produce the CushTop—an under-laptop upholstery-style pad; the PocketTop, which operates as both a case and a workstation; and the SleeveTop, which the designers refer to as a “second skin” for your computer. Surf, in style. —Eva Hagberg
