Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.    Ekster is a Netherlands based company that initially made a splash by building innovative wallets.   Now the company is branching out with what really is a better backpack…called the GRID.    Like the wallet, it is designed to hold a Bluetooth tracker…and can hold modules for tech gear or for camera gear.  And it holds a battery the company has designed as well….

“Which allows you to charge a laptop fully, on the road, so you don’t need to find any outlet.  And it also allows you to charge any other device like iPads and iPhones at the same time.”

  Co-founder Olivier Momma.  The GRID is made of recycled materials, is waterproof and very comfortable to wear. Pricing starts at about 200 dollars.   We are impressed.   Find more at www.ekster.com
