Carbon Fiber Sleeves Carry Your MacBook Formula One Style

If you love the stellar look of real carbon fiber and the tough protection it offers, then you can now encase your MacBook inside one of these lightweight carbon fiber monocoque sleeves sprayed with an automotive-grade clear coat shimmering finish that brings out the depth and detail of the carbon fiber texture, and are made by a company in the USA called DFWcomposites.

The carbon fiber sleeve for both the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air is designed to follow the original wedge shaped design using hand-made tapered edges. The 15-inch MacBook Pro with or without a Retina Display in particular features a foam interior lining, while every carbon fiber MacBook sleeve is strengthened and hardened to protect the precious cargo it encases. You can pre-order one starting at a reasonable $85 over at Kickstarter. If DFWcomposites' Kickstarter reaches its funding goal, backers are expected to receive their carbon fiber sleeves as early as November.
