Hot, hot, hot. . . That's the only thought going through my head when I look at this leather MacBook Air Sleeve by Civilian Lab. Soft black supple leather in the style of the now-infamous Manila folder hugs your sexy machine to make it tough and yes, even sexier. Civilian lab took the concept of something that was cute and kitschy - the Air Mail's manila folder sleeve - and vamped it up by just changing the material and the color. Yes, MacBook Air - you do look good in leather.

So you sprung for the MacBook Air? Then I don't feel weird telling you to spring for a custom MacBook Air sleeve from AB Sutton. You pick a hot shade of leather to sheath your laptop in, and provide AB Sutton with your initials for a monogram, and then looky: No one's going to mistake your MacBook Air for their MacBook Air at the airport or at Peet's.

Available in a too-many-to-count rainbow of color options (seriously, it's like paint-chip nation in there), the cases cost $278-$348 a piece. But what a small price to pay for sexy protection for your sharp, little machine. Consider this your enabling.

A Good Pair: Trexta Air Sleeves and the Latico Vertical Tote

GeekSugar — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:05:30 -0700

If I'm in the market for a new bag, I tend to want to pair it with a new laptop sleeve. This is because realistically, it's only a matter of time before my bag (no matter if it's a laptop bag or not) becomes a transportation device for my trusty computer. So when I saw (and salivated over) the Vertical Tote ($155) on Flight 001, I immediately went on the hunt for a laptop sleeve that would match the adorable flower print on the inside lining. Lo and behold, the sexy Trexta sleeves I was raving about at Macworld were just what I was looking for.

To hear about my laptop sleeve of choice, just read more.

The Trexta MacBook Air Sleeve ($100) in Coffee is the exact hue of brown that could pair with the tote like a good cube of cheese to a vintage wine. Yummy. The 14.5 inch opening in the bag makes for a perfectly snug home for your Macbook Air, while the Trexta case keeps your lappy from getting scratched and abused from whatever you decide to toss in the tote.

Plus, the rich blue tone of the bag (and lush leather materials on both the bag and the sleeve) should take you nicely into your Fall wardrobe, getting more mileage for your buck, and making these items a worthy investment.

We all drooled over AB Sutton's monogrammed leather MacBook Air case and iPhone case, and now they've worked similar magic for their new cases for the iPhone 3G.

The customization level on these sleeves are high - choose the color of the leather, thread, and add a monogram or strap if you like. Cases go from $88 to $108, but chances are, no one would have the same one!
