Learn how to pack and use the Executive Folio for laptops and tablets efficiently. This guide covers organization, setup, and daily use tips.

Quick answer

The Executive Folio for Laptops and Tablets is a slim organizer that holds your device, documents, pens, and phone. Use it alone for short meetings or as a companion to a larger backpack for full workdays.

Why choose the Executive Folio over a full bag

The Executive Folio is designed for quick meetups where you don't need a full backpack or briefcase. Its slim profile fits under your arm or inside a larger bag, making it versatile for both solo trips and as an accessory to the Pro Executive Laptop Backpack.

What fits and what doesn't

The folio has a dedicated laptop compartment that fits most 13- to 14-inch laptops and tablets. It also includes pockets for documents, pens, and a smartphone. It does not carry chargers, notebooks, or water bottles—plan accordingly.

How to pack and use the Executive Folio

  1. 1. Slide your device into the laptop compartment: Open the folio and place your laptop or tablet into the padded compartment. Ensure it is fully seated and the zipper or closure is secure. Check that the device fits snugly—if it's too loose, it may shift; if too tight, consider a different case.
  2. 2. Organize documents in the main pocket: Place papers, notebooks, or file folders in the main document pocket. Use the pen loops to secure writing instruments so they don't slide around. Avoid overstuffing—the folio works best with a few key documents, not a full filing cabinet.
  3. 3. Stash your phone and small items in the front pockets: Keep your smartphone in the designated pocket for quick access. Use the smaller pockets for business cards, earbuds, or a charger cable. Don't overload the front pockets—they are best for flat items to maintain the folio's slim profile.
  4. 4. Carry it solo or inside a larger bag: For a quick meeting, carry the folio under your arm or by its handle. For a full workday, slide it into your backpack for extra organization. When using inside a backpack, place the folio vertically to prevent bending and keep contents accessible.
  5. 5. Use the folio as a meeting companion: At the meeting, open the folio to access your device and documents. Use the pen loops to keep pens ready without fumbling. Practice opening and closing the folio one-handed—it makes a smoother impression when you're on the go.
