    I want it for my Faraday cage but you all laughed the last time I mentioned it. Steamer trunk sized would be ideal. Thanks for the suggestions (and the others by PM).

    Yup! Kid was only 1 and had a playdate with friend and her toddler. Called to reconfirm the time and she had to cancel cos her hubby's friend/colleague was just found murdered. AIYA!!!!!

    Is something like this an option? You can then put it into a normal hard / protective case?

    Amazon has also recommended another vendor after I viewed this - Mission Darkness. Might be worth a look for large faraday bags which can then be put into more protective cases.

    Walked the whole way (left side of street towards SSP) and nothing. Lots of shuttered shops though.

    No worries.. found one in Yau Ma Tei. Just a big standard galvanized trunk. Across the road there were fruit stalls and some of the used polystyrene fruit boxes were discarded by the side of the road. I asked the stall holder if I could buy it, he looked at me like I'm a bit soft in the head and just gestured to take one. So I did. Needs a bit of a clean but fits in the trunk nicely. And lo! A DIY Faraday cage for a laptop. Sorted. With one day to spare.....

    Can't you buy some super fine copper mesh and make a pouch?

    Offshore sailors often place their electronics in the oven (or micro wave) in case they enter a lightning storm. Oven/microwave seems to work properly as Faraday cage for these cases.
