Don’t forget this for your MacBook Air

ManilaMac
The manila envelope got real! When Steve Jobs debuted the new ultra-thin MacBook Air, he pulled it out of a manila envelope. Well these guys have come up with AirMail, a MacBook Air sleeve made in the shape of a Manila envelope.



The AirMail laptop sleeve is handmade out of durable upholstery-grade vinyl, and lined with fuzzy, soft fleece. All AirMail sleeves have the same dimensions as standard interoffice manila envelopes, which will serve to remind you — and everyone around you — that your new MacBook Air really is the thinnest laptop in the world!

    Last year, in the endless magic hour of the Icelandic summer, Sigur Rós played a series of concerts around their homeland. Combining both the biggest and smallest shows of their career, the entire tour was filmed, and now provides a unique insight into one of the world’s shyest and least understood bands captured live in their natural habitat.
