Best 11" MacBook Air Sleeve

Well I bought the black one. Just got it as a standby for now but am so impressed with it I think it'll be a keeper.
Well made, snug fit, decently padded and it's not got any obtrusive branding. It's easily as nicely made as the AppleSac I had for my old 13 inch Macbook and at a fraction of the cost.
The stuff from these guys looks interesting:

They also have cases coming for the 11" Air here too (along the same lines as the Vaio cases):

Their customer service is very responsive to queries which is a good sign.

I recieved my cushcase today, it is pretty decent and seems to protect the mba fine.
Happy with it!
Not bad if you like corduroy, not exactly my favorite material, maybe for pants but not for a computer sleeve.
2 each his own as they say!
Hmm. You didn't like the Hard Graft either did you? And yet you DID like the look of the tacky neoprene LuvMac ones from eBay.
To each his own indeed!

LuvMac one looks great! Where can you get them? eBay listing says it's not available anymore, i can't find it anywhere else. I expect the inCase one to look similar when it comes out but its not available yet.
+1 to your point, it's ugly in my opinion. It's like getting a Porsche and then putting a blue rain tarp over it for a cover. While it might protect it, people will laugh at the cover, which draws attention away from the product. This isn't the 1990's, corduroy is out.
And your comments suggest that you have about as much sense of style as Sarah Palin. Fact.
I look forward to seeing you in your neoprene pants!

You're not getting much support on that one... go to Apple, or BestBuy or any electronics store. See how many corduroy cases you see, then see how many neoprene you see. They don't sell it because they like playing god of all things computers, they sell it because it's what's in style and in-demand.
Get with the program!
Oh I see... so following the crowd like a sheep is a sign of good taste?
Maybe take a look at what all the style-less geeks are buying in Best Buy and Apple next time you're doing a visual survey. Welcome to the club!
Right. So you shouldn't buy apple because it's a trendy item. You should do something different rather than "bahhhh"ing like a sheep.
All I said was I didn't think it was an attractive case for a macbook air... several others agreed. I'd bet if you posted a poll 90% would say they don't like it. But either way,it's irrelevant, I was simply stating that you calling me a sheep for buying a well-desired Neoprene Sleeve when you own a mac product makes you a hypocrite. Good luck and enjoy your cords
No. Actually, what you do on these forums is forcefully express your opinions as fact.
What was that Apple slogan?? Oh yeah... Think Different. Enjoy your wet suit!
Oh for Christ's sake will you two give it up.
Behaving like children kind of invalidates both of your opinions!

You just keep up that hypocrisy buddy.
Actually I said your comments suggest that you have about as much sense of style as Sarah Palin. Feel free to take it out of context to win an argument though.
No how about going back and re-reading some of your own comments from the last few weeks.

Suggestions usually aren't followed by "Fact." lol
anyone try these japanese 12" sleeves?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...362954&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_4674wt_934
$28 + reasonable shipping.
similar in style/look to the booq vyper's it seems... a bit more protection than a simple/incase neoprene.
anyone?
personally debating any sleeve at all since i'm going the wrapsol route and there's a built in sleeve on my timbuk2 bag that i use every day -- although it's for up to 15" laptops.
the sleeve would be to carry to a meeting/conference lecture or added protection in carryon luggage (if i don't bring the timbuk2)

I'm a huge Zeroshock fan. I've collected over the years like 5 in different sizes. (I've got to give it a rest now thank you)
Anything in the wet rubber look
Yes, black would be really cool. The brown is really nice. I didn't really care about the color as I didn't have much faith that it would be any good. Not so.
As long as I'm happy with it. I like the "handmade" vintage look of the sleeve. Some will prefer high end neoprene or leather, whatever..
It's also very cheap, about 10 €, and with the foam and fleece layers, i'm quite sure it protects as good as or even better than a Tucano second skin (got 3 of them). And by the way, some of my friends allready told me they loved it.
