Hi Folks,

Hopefully will have my 13.3" MBA tomorrow so I'm looking at cases. Does anyone have this one?

http://www.beyzacases.com/pd-apple-macbook-air-thinvelope-sleeve.cfm

It's more less what I'm after: leather with a magnetic closure.

If anyone knows of anything similar, my googling doesn't appear to be finding much. The magnetic closure is a must; I don't want zips or clips or anything else which may scratch the machine.

My current laptop came with a canvas sleeve with a magnetic closure and that's been perfect although it's looking a little battered these days.

Cheers,

jahman

The only one I can see is for the 2010 version and has a zip. Do you have a link or can you tell me where it is on the site?

Ah, I found it. It was one of their previous designs for the previous model. Their website is terrible! May just go for the thinvelope. It's a little cheaper and looks fine to me.

A friend has the Thinvelope and I was amazed at the fit and quality of the leather.

It looks like they only have models for the previous generation MBA. The one you linked is not for new model as far as I can see.

Oh? Too bad. I was going to check that. I'm sure they'll update it though. I'll probably get something cheap in the meantime to do me until I find what I want.
