What? Works perfectly for me. Maybe you pressed a wrong link somewhere.

I'm looking for a portfolio style case that allows opening the case and using the MBA11 without having to remove the MBA. Sena has some cases, Leatherskin and ZipBook that look like they'd work (assuming they are for the MBA11) but boy are they expensive, at US$150 and US$180 respectively. 
I've asked them if these cases will work with the new MBAs.
I've asked them if these cases will work with the new MBAs.Nope. tried it again. See below what it said. TBH it does show available for 13" MBP, but not MBA Current generation.

Yep, I'm still waiting on these cases as well!
I just bought a Marware Sportfolio Deluxe case for the MBA. It is extremely well made and has a fitted sleeve for the MBA, a fitted nylon pocket for the Superdrive, and another pocket for the AC adapter. The bag is so small and lightweight that with both the MBA and the AC adapter in the bag it weighs only 5 pounds. Finally, it is on sale for $49.99. Highly recommended.
I prefer a hard case for the air. I think the perfect case would be a vertical orientation, lined by leather or some other scratch resistant material. I really am not to keen into buying a case unless I can personally go to a store and look at it though.
That is odd, I got my wrapsols for the current 13 and 11 yesterday and I placed another order for a 13 yesterday so they are definitely available.
This case is really neat. Does it fit the new macbook air well even if it's a little thicker than the original air? Can you post pictures?

Well my case just came a while ago and have one major problem.
MBA fit perfect with a nice snug fit. Problem is this, after MBA has been in the sleeve for about an hour I cannot remove my MBA from the sleeve. Its like there was some glue used to put it together seeped on to the MBA and is keeping it in. Going to call Incipio in a short while. Not a very happy person at this moment...
Um.. that's a bag, not exactly a case (let alone a sleeve). I personally prefer a snug fitting case/sleeve that flaunts my svelte slim Air..
But hey.. to each his own..
To each his own, indeed. Apparently you didn't read the link very carefully. Mareware's own description of the product in the linked page is "A sleek, sporty case . . ." [Emphasis added.] But it's certainly your right to disagree with both the manufacturer and me.Um.. that's a bag, not exactly a case (let alone a sleeve).

I found it in stock on Zappos.com. Works great for charging. Just leave the flap open.
This is the one I bought: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...86373&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_2467wt_1141

Sena has always been my go-to sleeves for all my iPhones. Their sleeves are elegant, understated, yet still exudes sexiness at its best!
I love, LOVE the Pullino: http://www.senacases.com/apple/macbook-air-cases/pullino-designer-case/. But for $240? Um.. that's a tad excessive for a sleeve..
That's the wrapsol ultra. The classic is available.
I don't like the ultra anyway. I don't recommend it.
I tried finding the answer, what exactly is the difference between the classic and ultra?
Check out eBay. There are some sellers in the UK with over who are selling them brand new. I bought one already.
Not unless they have a high demand for it. They took my contact information down in case they change their plans. Hopefully enough people will ask them about it for them to make a limited run or something.
@re2st Sorry, I overlooked your earlier post.
I bought one of the InCase 13" Neoprene Sleeves on Zappos. But I checked just now and they are out of stock.
It's great, though. Fits the 13" MBA perfectly. No zippers to scratch it. Once inside, I can toss the MBA in a backpack or briefcase or messenger bag without worrying if it has enough padding or will get scratched.

This is expensive but I've been using it for nearly two years and it still looks like new. The new Macbook Air 13.3 fits perfectly and also holds my iPad (albeit without a cover).
