Yeah, when you make smart a s s comments on how I should spare the others my inane thread, and how stupid I 've been for not checking the updated vaja products (which are for the old air as I was sure they were), you better know what I am talking about, I said a case, not a sleeve. If you don't understand ask, before berating like a fool.
1. i never called your thread inane, nor did i call you stupid but if that's how you would have it/you described, i won't argue with you.
2. the vaja site has products for both the new and the old MBAs. this should be obvious since there is only one 11" model (aka the new MBA). so this part of your post:
...how stupid I 've been for not checking the updated vaja products (which are for the old air as I was sure they were)
doesn't really make sense to me.
3. others have pointed out to you (and it seems that you were already aware) that there are some leather cases out there, and vaja has a product for the 11" Air. just because they aren't up to your "standards of aesthetics" doesn't mean you should start a thread about it. it means no one really cares about your "standards of aesthetics".
4. cases for ipads and laptops are going to differ significantly. this should also be obvious. first of all, you have to open up laptops to use them. then, you got the fact that there are keyboards in laptops...heat/fans issues...weight/form factor...etc..
5. i apologize if you think i was berating you. initially, i was just puzzled about the point of your thread. and it was my honest opinion that your time would have been better spent writing to vaja themselves rather than to people who really have no control and/or interest in such things. that was initially...
