Genck Tool Case

[Isaac OLEG]

Zippers = 2 years with heavy bag (laptop PB1400 c + tools = too much
weight 25 pounds)

Genck case for computer. Well build but I believe that under heavy use
all these will fail. Rigid suitcase seem to last longer, but are
really heavy then.

Thje Genck case without computer seem to last really long, as not so
heavily loaded.
