The MacBook Air gets a leather jacket

Thank goodness some people finally came to their senses. The "AirMail" manila sleeve for the MacBook Air was cute when it came out, but please--it's actually sold out?

The "Air Manila" from Civilian Lab is a much more sophisticated version, dressing up the envelope concept with hand-stitched leather, Tech Digest says, as well as a padded interior and air vents. That should help keep it from getting mixed in with interoffice mail, which is important because the anorexic laptop is accident-prone enough as it is.

Jumping the Shark?

A leather mail envelope cover for your laptop? Thankfully, this isn't from Apple
because if it was, it would be a sign that they are in danger of jumping the
shark... yes... just like Fonzie (looking as silly as he did in that leather jacket
when he jumped the shark). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_shark

And just think, most people under 30 don't know who Fonzie is.

Roll accessories in t-shirt sleeve

This looks as useful as the computer itself. Perhaps you'll just roll up your usb drive, power supply, and mouse in your sleeves, like the Greasers did in "The Outsiders". How Fonz-like.

But you know some fashionista will buy it, afterall, if they bought this useless junk, they probably have some issues.
