Why, it's just been hollowed out to serve as a shell for your MacBook Pro! In the tradition of using old cassettes as iPod Nano cases, designer Twelve South introduces the BookBook: leather cases made to look like the kinds of ancient books you would see at the Morgan Library. No, they're not real recycled tomes, but the effect is meant to suggest that you're like Belle in Beauty and the Beast and like to lug your favorite stories around. The benefits include...
- Covering: Though the leather makes it look sophisticated and pretty, it's got a hardcover spine and zipper (made to look like a leather bookmark), plus elastic on the inside, to keep your computer intact.
- Uniqueness: Each has its own touches when it comes to distressing, gold leaf letters, and more.
- Safety: They assume that people, seeing your giant book, won't want to steal it. Though I have to wonder if people would think they could make a pretty penny off an old-looking volume...
Would you entrust your MacBook Pro (it doesn't work with other models or PC laptops) to the BookBook shield?
