Shearling-Lined Laptop Cases: Love or Leave?

February 22, 2008

Oooh . . . It's like Uggs for your laptop. These faux-shearling-lined laptop portfolios from See Jane Work (on sale for $62) have funky exteriors and cozy interiors. I know I would get distracted touching the soft fluffies instead of getting work done on my laptop. But I kind of have an Ugg feeling about these in general. . . That is, totally conflicted about them. How about you?

lol @ Jude C i actually only recently found out they were called "trapper keepers" despite the fact that they were, indeed, all the rage when i was in grade school. maybe it's a regional thing? (i'm from the west coast of canada. any canadians out there want to prove my ignorance?) but yes, agreed with the comments on these being too insulating. i'd definitely get the recycled-bottle sleeve over this. :)

Nursing home turned me down. Said I'm not old enough. So ageist...I want assisted living! :p I forgot to mention earlier, these are way cuter than Uggs.

I forgot to add that the fabric I used is the fabric on one of the cases.

I think they're horrendously over priced!! Peep the pics below - I bought the fabric for $2.99/yard at Joann's - and I didn't even use a yard of it!

@ Jude C :: don't feel too bad; I remember them. They were (supposedly) really cool, as three-ring binders went. :(

I bought a shearling-lined laptop case (AppleSac) for my Macbook and really did NOT like it. The fabric was pretty thin, so it didn't feel like it was providing as much protection for my laptop as a neoprene sleeve (now I have an incase one). And I think if I were to wash a shearling case, it'd probably get gross....

Thanks for making me feel sooooo old, JovianSkies!!! :ROTFL: TrapperKeepers are (were???) these sort of...uh...highly decorated 3-ring binders kids of my age used to bring to school....I don't know how else to describe them. They, er, had a lot of pockets. And, uh, decorations. Yeah. Excuse me while I go apply to the nursing home now.
