Marware C.E.O. Envi Sleeve for MacBook Air

by Steven Sande (RSS feed) on May 17th, 2008

C.E.O. Envi Sleeve for MacBook AirPlaying on the MacBook-Air-in-a-manila-envelope meme started by Steve Jobs at Macworld Expo 2008, Marware has announced the sexy leather C.E.O. Envi sleeve for the MBA. The $89.99 C.E.O. Envi features a premium leather exterior and a soft lining, and is designed to be used either on its own or in another bag. A magnetic closure keeps the sleeve safely shut, while the interior lining protects the exterior of the MacBook Air from scratches.

Of course, it's too late for my MacBook Air, which is beginning to look a bit scuffed up on the bottom. But I may still look into one of these sleeves as a way of preventing even more scratches.

Get a "manila envelope" sleeve for your MacBook Air

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jan 17th, 2008

Well, this was inevitable. When Steve Jobs dramatically presented the MacBook Air by removing it from a manila envelope, two enterprising artists saw an opportunity, and the result is AirMail.

It's a vinyl laptop sleeve for the MacBook Air that looks just like -- you guessed it -- a standard issue manila envelope. They're lined with fleece and even feature a tie enclosure. Each hand made bag costs $29.95US, and they begin shipping two weeks from today.

It's not the most durable bag available, but among the most clever.

MacBook sleeves use no synthetic materials

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Oct 15th, 2007

Today is Blog Action Day, and thousands of blogs have committed to writing eco-friendly posts. We're doing our part, too.

Check out these MacBook sleeves from Wrappers. They contain no synthetic materials at all (a rarity among laptop sleeves). The interior and exterior are made from cotton, and the whole thing is padded with cotton felt. You have your choice of navy, coffee bean or neutral for the exterior. Plus, you needn't worry about scratches since there are no hard materials used at all.

They cost £20.00 (plus £3.50 p&p - about $28US as of this writing). Pick one up!

TUAW Review: Higher Ground Shuttle

by Dan Lurie (RSS feed) on Jun 18th, 2007



As a bag geek, I'm always excited to see something new and novel kinds of cases. While walking around the show floor at Macworld back in January, I was delighted to come across something I've been looking for as long as I can remember– a soft sleeve with rigid protection. The case in question turned out to be the Shuttle from Higher Ground, and I've had the chance to use and review it for the past month or so.

DIY notebook sleeve from corduroys and a sweatshirt

by David Chartier (RSS feed) on Oct 2nd, 2006


No one with an internet connection is ever allowed to claim that there is a shortage of DIY tutorials and craziness on the internet, and this latest home-grown notebook sleeve from a guy named Sam is no exception. You see, Sam is an accident magnet (hey, his words, not mine), and he recently stained a pair of corduroy pants. He also ruined a sweatshirt a while back too - so what's an enterprising Mac nerd to do with all these ruined clothes and a 12-inch PowerBook which he might love just a smidge too much? Why, turn them into a case, of course! Sam wrote up a pretty thorough tutorial on how to put this case together, but he actually did this a few months back for his PowerBook, before the MacBooks were released. Fortunately, he included some extra math for the new machines so even more of you can play along.

Check out Sam's tutorial to snag yourself one of the more unique notebook sleeves which, as they say on TV, are "not available in stores! Order now!" Er, click now!

Ok, so they're hot. But are they THAT hot? Perhaps it's better to error on the side of caution. Wrappers has produced a set of fire retardant MacBook sleeves in a variety of colors. The corduroy sleeves can be customized with your own identifying mark, so you'll know exactly whose fireproof MacBook you're putting in your bag. You can pick one up for £15.99 (ID customization will cost you an additional £3.00).
