I'm really tempted by the MacBook Air. I called my local Apple Store Monday evening and was told that they expect to have MacBook Airs in stock Wednesday. My last Apple portable (not counting my iPhone) was a 12" PowerBook. I'm about due for one;)

Check out this case, it's called AirMall . It retails for $29.95.

What is this made of?

The AirMail laptop sleeve is handmade out of durable upholstery-grade vinyl, and lined with fuzzy, soft fleece. All AirMail sleeves have the same dimensions as standard interoffice manila envelopes, which will serve to remind you -- and everyone around you -- that your new MacBook Air really is the thinnest laptop in the world!

Why?

Well, we think Apple's MacBook Air is a revolutionary computer, and we thought we'd take Steve Jobs up on his idea that it can fit inside a standard manila envelope. Besides, we wanted a cool case to show off our new laptops!

Is this padded enough to protect my laptop?

AirMail laptop cases are lined with thick fleece, which will protect your laptop from any cosmetic damage and smudges, and keep it safe from bumps in daily use. It is not suitable, however, for any extreme use. But geez, treat your MacBook Air kindly! Who made this?

The AirMail is the brainchild of Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans, two Apple geeks with combined handicraft-and-idea-person superpowers! Find out more information on AirMail here . What a cool case!!
