A collapsible electronic equipment enclosure surrounds portable or tabletop electronic equipment, such as laptop computers, with opaque protective sheeting supported by flexible struts. An opening is provided that may include a transparent window and provision for hand entry to permit use of the contained equipment while it is protected from environmental hazards. Provision is made for equipment display visibility in bright sunshine and lighting. Restricting visibility of the equipment display enhances privacy. The enclosure collapses to store in a narrow space, is lightweight, and can be used to transport the contained equipment either by a carry handle or as a backpack. The enclosure can be anchored to a tabletop for motion protection. It can also be locked closed and the contained equipment fastened by a security cable and lock to provide theft and tamper protection for the contained equipment and the enclosure when unattended.
