MacBook Air Sleeves

DODOcase's handmade bookbindery-as-gadget case has made its gear stand out in a sea of accessories, so for their latest trick its natural San Francisco-based company is working on a new craft: sewing. The new line is Durables, a collection of hand-sewn sleeves for the iPhone 4/4S, iPhone 5, iPad, and MacBook Air.

The entire line has an army green waxed duck canvas exterior, an orange felt interior, and leather trim ready to get that sweet patina look over time. With two pockets the iPhone Wallet ($50) holds cash and cards, the iPad 2/3 Sleeve ($65) has room for a Smart Cover, and the MacBook Air Sleeve ($80) is available for both the 11-inch and 13-inch models. Get inspired to return to your sewing machine by taking a closer look at the DODOcase hand stitches in the gallery.

The MacBook Air is a sleek little number that deserves to be outfitted in the classiest of cases. Taking a cue from the 11-, and 13-inch Air's design aesthetic, these cases are sophisticated, subdued, and would fit right in amongst an elite, high-powered office environment.

It's not often that I run across something so well put together in one afternoon, so I thought I'd share my shopping finds with you retro-styled geeks that love a little bit of vintage flair to go with your gadgets. First, enter the 13-inch MacBook Air ($1,300) — a featherweight laptop that can go with you just about anywhere. Add in a handmade Etsy purple corduroy CushCase ($24) to keep it like new, and a canvas and leather ModCloth Fog City Sunset Bag ($254) that takes you back to the days of acid wash jeans, and you have a perfectly hipsterized trio that will last you at least until the '80s trend is over.
