Interested in the accessories folks have purchased for their MBA. In particular, what skin, cover, case, etc.

I picked up the external super drive.
I was thinking of getting the invisible shield which goes on the top, and bottom.

Let us know what you got ;)

Thx,
VJ

I'm waiting for a Fabrix Deluxe Case (http://www.fabrixcases.com/collection/laptop/delux.html)and an Airmail (http://www.manilamac.com/) to come in.

I'm also looking into getting a sleeve from TeeRex52's wife. She has some on eBay (http://stores.ebay.com/The-Everything-Shoppe_Computers_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ13QQftidZ2QQtZkm) but I'm looking for an all black one.

No USB hubs, no SuperDrive, nothing else extra so far. I want to get an AppleTV and/or a Time Capsule but that won't be for a little bit. Need to save up some money first.

I did get a RadTek ScreenSavrz (http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreensavrz.aspx) although I keep forgetting to use it....

Superdrive and Ethernet dongle from Apple
Sleeve/Folder from Waterfield
Airmail for grins (and to use when I put the MBA in a suitcase)

Thinking about the InvisibleShield

Oh, and while probably not technically an accessory, I've got a Time Capsule on order.

It's funny how accessories quickly follow ;)

I plan on adding a wireless mighty mouse, USB hub, and time capsule (once available).

"clayj" please let us know how the Dr Bott USB hub works out!!

One of the cool things about getting a new toy is picking up accessories for it. I pretty much have everything I need now for the Air, but I'm sure cooler stuff is coming down the pipeline to open the wallet.

- Radtech Screensavrz
- Waterfield SleeveCase
- Microsoft Bluetooth Laser Notebook mouse
- Logitech 4-port mini USB hub
- Apple MBA Superdrive
- Apple USB Ethernet dongle
- 500GB Time Capsule (on order)
- 80GB iPod classic (for use as a small external drive)

Superdrive
Ethernet dongle
13" InCase black neoprene sleeve (meant for the MB, but works fine for a temporary solution so I can take my MBA out with me)

Already had a RadTech Screensavrz, so immediately began using it

Already had a wireless BT Mighty Mouse (right now it's being shared by the 15" MBP and the MBA until I get around to buying another one)

Already had a powered USB hub but have not actually tried it out yet with the MBA

Will be buying:

Stylish sleeve that is specifically made for MBA (haven't decided yet which)

Time Capsule (for all machines in household)

BT MM so that the 15" MBP can have its mouse back

G-Tech Mini G-Drive for additional HD storage and for travel

Has anyone found a great non-powered USB hub that matches the Air's thinness and aluminum look?
