The CF-31 is a no-nonsense piece of military hardware. Its bulky 11.9" x 2.9 x 11.1" magnesium-alloy case weighs in at a formidable 8.2 lbs, and looks far more like a ruggedized gun case than a laptop. With an extremely comfortable and rugged pull-out carry handle, the CF-31 is not a laptop you'd ever need a separate carry case for. You just pick it up and go, rain or shine, dust or snow.
The case is IP65 rated, meaning it's entirely dust-tight and resistant to direct jets of water from any angle. It's also MIL-STD-810G and MIL-STD-461F certified, and is shock-resistant as tested by a 4ft drop.
All the ports are protected beneath individual plastic covers with rubber seals, as is the DVD drive bay (which, for the record, can be fitted instead with an auxiliary battery to give extended hours of continuous use).
