Peak By Aecraft MacBook Sleeve Joins Sophistication With A Height Boost

May 26, 2014/ Nir Schneider

If you own a MacBook there's only one way to travel with it smart, and that is to slip it into a comfy and form-fitted protective sleeve case. This unique and dreamy sleeve cover for the 13-inch MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro is handmade using soft South African Merino wool felt and vegetable-tanned, Norwegian leather by a relatively new company called Aecraft in Belgium. But unlike all other protective sleeves, Aecraft's new Peak was designed to also be functional in that it's hardened leather cover can fold into a Smart Cover-like triangular stand so that you can position your MacBook at an elevated angle which not only increase air flow and thus cooling your Mac, but it provides you with a higher screen level for improved viewing and a straighter posture as a result.

The fashionable European iPhone accessory maker, CalypsoCrystal, has refreshed its handcrafted luxurious iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 CalypsoCase leather hard shell sleeve case collection with some new vibrant colors just for the summer. The CalypsoCase featuring the CalypsoRing, made with a pure polished sterling silver trim and an inner titanium support band, is available now in four colors for $119.

CalypsoCrystal's CalypsoCase featuring the CalypsoLoop, a less flashy all-leather stitched trim with an inner titanium support band, is available in four colors for $99. We had pleasure of reviewing both CalypsoCase styles along with the company's CalypsoPad, a leather made desk pad for the iPhone designed to protect against scratches and scuffs.

March 08, 2012/ Nir Schneider

Still have some cash left after spending it all due to the recent Apple announcement? Vaja hasn't yet announced any new iPad 3rd Gen cases, so you'll just have to save up until then. But what Vaja did release just recently is a new leather pouch called the Feather for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. The Feather pouch features a slim and form-fitting design, full access to side and top buttons, bottom speaker and mic perforations and an elastic secure closure strap. You can grab yours right now in five two-tone colors for $90, or have it customized with your favorite color combo and leather type for $110. Either way, it'll smell of expensive Argentinian leather.

Speck Outs TrimSleeve Sleeve For MacBook Air 11" & 13"

April 16, 2011/ Nir Schneider

Speck has released the TrimSleeve for Apple's latest 11" and 13" MacBook Air. The TrimSleeve is a form fitting and ultra-slim, black faux-leather sleeve with an "executive look". It's too bad Speck charges you $49.95 and serves you fake leather instead of real quality leather. At least the TrimSleeve has a magical pull-tab for an easy removal of your extremely thin MacBook Air. You can now look like a sophisticated executive if you're not already one, but your sleeve will never smell that way.
