Jesus those crumplier bags are so ugly :-D
That's quite nice, real leather? What model is it?
They look pretty good, do you know if the seller is on eBay?
Not as ugly as those silly bookbook things
Each to their own though
I actually really like the OUTSIDE of the BookBook case.
But the inside- with the little straps on the corners of the monitor and stuff -- looks absolutely terrible.
I keep saying I'm going to review my felt sleeve but I never seem to have time...stuck between catching up on Mad Men episodes on netflix, work and bar outings....so here goes:
I have the Charcoal Merino Wool Felt Case with Leather Strap from Untype.com and its the one that I recommend to people with MBA's or iPads. When I'm travelling for work, I get asked all the time about it. If you want the cheaper version, there's one without a leather strap. Both look very stylish but I think the leather goes well.
The protection is pretty good in that the felt has protected my MBA while in my messenger bag with all my other crap in there (pens, iphone etc). I swing around that bag quite a bit and its taken serious punishment in the plane overhead bins when I fly.
As for the aesthetic, it goes perfectly with the MBA and keeps the weight off the whole package when you travel. I HATE travelling heavy and that's why I jumped on the MBA, so I needed something that was going to protect but not weight a lot.
The cool thing is that it's hand-made. I would go with either the White, grey or charcoal versions if you do get one. I prefer charcoal but that's just me.
They still have that promotion going on their website which brings the cost down significantly. The code is: "Summer11". Here's the promo code link.
Here's a pic of the one I got from their website:

I got this and I quite like it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=11FHVDRYR3K06JSAJ3GV
Could you post some pictures of it. really like the look of it. tempted
Just ordered a manila envelope sleeve from http://www.manilamac.com/macbookair13/
Can't wait to get it...looks great on their website.
Something like this?
Okay, something seems to be wrong with the forums. It's not letting me upload the pics. Keeps saying there's an error. I'll try again later? I don't have much time. I will say this about the BoxWave Elite leather sleeve:
Overall, I will say it is a great sleeve. The magnetic clasp is strong and reliable (just have to make sure it clicks correctly; very easy to do), and the fit is snug but not so snug it's difficult to slide in and out (like some other really tight fitting sleeve). So far it offers good protection (no zippers or anything) and the leather, while fake, is still quite nice (especially for the price) both aesthetically and also grip-wise. Personally, I find neoprene sleeves annoying because when you carry them, the sleeve inadvertently bunches up and "ripples" where you're holding it. The leather here is nice and firm and keeps its shape.
Anyway, good luck. I'll try to get those pics up later.
