New protective case released for MacBook Air

Vaja’s new Ivolution Leather Suit for the MacBook Air displays "originality", one review has claimed.

According to CNet, the new model differs from previous designs as "it’s meant to stay on at all times, hugging its charge like a wetsuit while allowing it to breathe through mesh vents sewn into the case".

The Macbook Air’s "perceived fragility" will make this phone case-like design popular with owners, the review claims.

Available in more than 1,000 colours from $280 (£140), the cases are handmade to order.

Meanwhile, MacBook Air users who would like to carry their laptop in style may be interested in a new slim shoulder bag created specifically for the product.

CNet reports that Italian designers Orbino, who have made products for Apple before, have created "an ultra-slim shoulder bag for the ultra-slim laptop".

The handmade Arista may appeal to those not satisfied with the formal look of Apple vinyl or leather laptop bags and is available in a variety of leather finishes ranging from Burnished Whiskey to Deep Red Tuscan.
