Get a "manila envelope" sleeve for your MacBook Air

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.

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!

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

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.

You can pick one up for £15.99 (ID customization will cost you an additional £3.00).
