Twelve South Has the ‘Book’ on MacBook Protection
When is the last time you paid $80 for a book? When it held your MacBook, of course. Mac lovers have gone through countless attempts to disguise and protect your Apple laptop, from high-end leather briefcases we saw at CES to a faux newspaper. Now comes Mac developer Twelve South with the BookBook, a case that looks exactly like a vintage hardbound book.
The leather-bound “book”, along with two rigid book covers, also includes a padded leather spine to keep your 13-inch or 15-inch MacBook safe and secure. “When it comes to safeguarding your Mac, there is no comparison between BookBook and the typical, floppy neoprene zipper bag,” claims the company.
The case comes in two varieties: a classic-looking brown with black spine, or a brown with red spine. Each are hand-distressed, ensuring no BookBook is alike. The product also includes a dual leather zipper, disguised as a bookmark that gives access to the MagSafe powerport.
