* We are excited to be the first to introduce new sleeves for the MacBook Air.
* Building off our strength in the iPod accessories category, we are extending this asset to create accessories for the MacBook Air that are stylish, well-designed, and easy to use.
* In respecting the thinness of the MacBook Air, we’ve designed our sleeves to complement it by keeping a similarly slim profile.
