MacCover - A New Option for Protecting Your Mac Portables
Complete article here
by Chris Marsden on June 4th, 2008
There is another option for protecting your iPod or MacBook available. MacCover.com makes custom sleeves for all your Portable Mac accessories. You choose the color, and if you have an odd sized computer (older model or PC), they will even make a custom cover for you. Colors range from rather neutral to pretty bold.
(...)
Personally, a sleeve, is the way to go with a laptop. I have two different bags I carry regularly. One is a messenger, the other a backpack. Neither is a laptop bag, but with my sleeve, my ordinary bag becomes a laptop bag. I may have to keep these guys in mind for when I get my new computer.

press release: New MacCover site online!

equivocality.com:
"Supernana card holders are used to carry Moo Minicards so they don’t get damaged in a bag or pocket, and are made of 100% wool. There’s a drop-shaped hole in the centre for the thumb, but I found it very difficult to remove any cards this way. Even with only two cards in there, the finish is too slippery to get any kind of grip on them. Instead, it becomes a funny shaped window to show off your cards.
It’s better to take all the cards out when handing them out anyway, as people like to choose which one(s) they want to keep.
At first I had a hard time believing that 14 cards were going to fit in this little case, but sure enough, after gradually adding more and more, I had 14 of them in there at once. The case needs to be broken in. Occasionally, a corner of one card will get stuck on the fabric and get nicked, but other than that, it’s not too bad.
If being used for outside wear, I’d recommend clipping the holder onto a bag or coat with a carabiner. That way you can easily take it off if it rains or snows."

AFFORDABLE DESIGN
Over the past month I've come across some pretty cool items I thought were really well designed and affordable (always a nice combination).
1) MOO + SUPERNANA:
I had a box of ATHLETE business cards (and holiday cards) custom-printed by London-based Moo (which for anyone who is a die-hard Flickr user is probably familiar with) for about $20. To carry these mini cards, I picked up a custom card holder handmade by the ladies of Supernana -- a Belgium company that normally specializes in baby accessories -- for $7.

Supernana has introduced a new line of laptop cases, designed primarily for the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. MacCovers protect a laptop with felt a tenth of an inch thick, and feature no hard parts such as zippers, which could possibly damage a computer through scratches or impacts.
The magnet straps, meanwhile, use real leather, and the seams of the felt are double-stitched. Supernana's stock cases fit 13-, 15- and 17-inch MacBooks, and come in seven different colors including black, brown, pink and cream.
Should buyers have an unusual laptop, custom sizes can be made on request. The cost per case is 40 euro ($52) plus shipping to anywhere in the world.

My friend and fellow entrepreneur Philine van der Vegte has just launched an interesting new product: the MacCover. A natural felt cover for your Black or White MacBook in 7 cool colours. Get yours now at http://www.maccover.com

I just received the latest Supernana newsletter and it mentioned a very nice product to both protect, personalize and humanize your latest piece of slick white technology. Of course it can also protect a MacBook Pro, a Tablet PC or even one of those Dell laptops.

MacCover colours
With the thick felt cover it will protect your laptop against bumps and scratches. Also, it will keep it nice and warm.

The MacCover is made by the very nice Supernana. They create these and many other products locally, on a small scale with a dedicated, passionate group of women. Their other products are targeted at children, but with a quality that can last over many generations. I can't see my laptop withstand time over generations, but it will hold out longer than without one.
Order yours now, mention my name in the email and it might just earn me one of these amazing podcovers (nano nano)!

Make your MacBook touchable with felt MacCovers Posted by Simon Every time we think we've seen it all, a company comes out with a bag or other accessory that comes out of left field. This time, the surprise is in the form of the MacCover, a felt sleeve for your MacBook or MacBook Pro.
The company touts the benefits of felt: flame retardant, shock absorbing, resilient, and environmentally friendly, plus they offer the felt in seven colors, some of them quite vibrant. The 3mm-thick sleeves are made by hand in Belgium and also have quite a unique latching mechanism using a leather strap and magnet. The MacCover is available now for all Apple portables at a cost of 39.95.
