My poor laptop looks like it’s been through some sort of natural catastrophe. I didn’t mean to hurt it, but I just couldn’t find a decent sleeve or backpack at the right time. Now it’s too late to save it, but I’m still looking for an interesting sleeve for better protection. The latest I found is interesting, but I wouldn’t buy it.
The My Documents Laptop Sleeve is unique and has a great concept going for it: since you keep some files in “My Documents”, why not keep all your files in one big “My Documents” folder? It even comes with a pin in the form on a mouse pointer – great touch.
All would be well if the sleeve didn’t say “My Document”. Notice that missing “s”? Yeah. The bright yellow will also be a turn-off for many… it’s just too much. I hope it gets a second printing, with the “s” and a different shade of yellow, because the concept is great.

I got pretty excited when I saw the first envelope-like cover for the new MacBook Air, the AirMail. But this whole thing is getting really old, really fast. Ok, it fits inside an envelope, we get it. Enough already.
Anyway. The InterOffice Envelope Sleeve for the MacBook Air boasts to be “not first, but better” (nice tagline there). And they might be right. It’s made from a high grade water proof and fade proof vinyl and has a scratch proof cotton twill lining. It also has a zipper, so you can at least be sure it won’t fall out.
So yeah, it looks interesting enough. But I’ve got no more excitement left for this.

There probably isn’t anyone on the face of the Internet who’s interested in IT and hasn’t heard about the new MacBook Air.
While we were fascinated, someone thought very fast (and will probably make a lot of money in the process). Steve Jobs showed the audience how the Air can fit inside a manila envelope and, soon later, there was a real laptop cover in the shape of a manila envelope. The ManilaMac looks great. I think the idea is great and it looks fabulous. If it’s also good enough for protecting your Air, I predict a lot of success.
It can be preordered now and it will start shipping at the same time with the Air.
