AirMail: the manila folder MacBook Air sleeve gets real

Filed under: ,

certain, we were all quite awestruck when Steve casually pulled the MacBook Air out from within a manila envelope on stage, but we didn’t precisely expect to-be owners to snag one from the supply cabinet and put it to use. Nevertheless, the quick-thinking duo that is Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans had an concept to take Apple’s intelligent marketing icon and create — surprise, surprise — a fully functional case resembling a manila folder. Reportedly, that sleeve is handmade from “durable upholstery-grade

vinyl and lined with fuzzy, soft fleece,” which should protect your forthcoming MBA from all but the nastiest of bumps. Supposedly, you can pre-order one now for $29.95 and expect it to reach right alongside your new rig, but whether these truly are handmade, we’d go ahead and expect a backlog. Oh, whether only we were that intelligent.
