11" MacBook Air Sleeves are too expensive. $40+ for a piece of fabric? Pfffff.

Bought my 11.6 one from eBay for £8. OK it is pink, but it is well padded but light and no zip, and as I am retired it is not taken out of the house that often.

(dont worry there are tons available from this guy)

I got this one myself, it works good.

It's been mentioned before that these black/red neoprene sleeves dye your notebook red. I had a white MSI Wind 10" netbook and the corners turned pink after a month or two in this exact sleeve. I don't know if the same would happen if you turned it black-side-in, but then the problem would be you'd suffer with a fire-engine red case!

They should spend their money on better things --- like humanitarian causes i.e. feeding the poor!

Eh they probably won't, yay for human greed!

I still like my 11" macbook air tho --- really useful for my classes & far superior to winDoze.

Listen to the pot calling the kettle black. You're the one who spent $1,000+ on a laptop that you prbobably don't really need when you could have bought something cheaper. Arrogant a$$!!!

I agree with you! I guess that is the price of being cheap, they use cheaper dyes and materials.
It stained white Dell Netbook Hackintosh too...

interesting - I have that case too

luckily my MBA doesn't spend enough time inside the case for me to worry about it

Actually, I bought the laptop fully logically for a couple of reasons.

1) Better OS/more secure/less viruses
2) Less problems/"it just works"
3) better customer support


and the most important reason why I bought the MacBook Air in the first place?

4) Easy to resell and it has a low depreciation value.

If I were to buy one of the cheaper ones such as the Asus laptops, they would go down in value, & I have to worry about flimsy customer support (this is a very important issue as many of these companies have terrible support).


I may be an ass, but it is incorrect to be called arrogant, for I'm a stubborn ass.

Thanks ... I had some eBay bucks which were expiring today, so I ordered one of these for FREE ... I had just enough credits to pay for it! It even shipped already, so I should have it in a few days if it doesn't snow again.

I wonder if you can wash them once to bleed off the excess dye?
