You’ve just spent a month’s worth of wages on your new MacBook and the guy at the shop gives you a free black sleeve thing to protect your new baby in. Erm, I don’t think so. Did he not notice the edge-to-edge, uninterrupted glass display and slick aluminum unibody? Sure it’s going to keep your laptop all shiny, but you have a new job now and can’t rock up on the first day with that boring sleeve. You want to create some style, be so now right now and impress those gals in Marketing. Ladies and gentlemen, your new laptop sleeve has arrived.

If it has been made from a truck-tarpaulin, you know it’s going to be tough. These neoprene lined offerings from the Zurich based Frietag brother’s offer something a bit more urban and one-off – as each of these earth friendly sleeves feature unique designs.
