Behind the scenes: MacBook Air 11 "Muse gets Moshi + Speck SeeThru Satin"

A great sensation by hand is one of the things that we are looking for - and only sometimes find - for MacBook, particularly given that the MacBook Air is small and thin enough that you'll wind up holding a palm or one arm at a certain time when you are walking with her 11 "." It is a point not insignificant when we watched week last Covenant United leather pouch and noted that the smooth texture of the case dear envelope-style might not work for some users; a bit of tack can turn a long way when device hand-holding for long periods of time. Two new cases for MacBook Air offers completely different approaches to the protection of the laptop, but both 11 "use textures to differentiate himself from competing products."

Muse 11 of Moshi ($35) is undoubtedly just a longest ever-so-slightly darker grey version and Muse for iPad, adding just enough length to accommodate the MacBook Air in one of his two pockets of Rabat 11 "society." The other pocket for accessories - say that included eating Air - but made enough room for a full iPad inside, assuming that you're ready to go through some insertion and deletion of the contortions Moshi or we would truly recommend. In any case, it is a great Pocket second, and the contrast colour front flap is sealed with a couple of magnets hidden, then topped with a few nice metallic name badge.

It is a design certainly sharp - research, but let's be frank: there are many nice there sleeve MacBook research. The thing that makes it stand out you we really is texture, which, like the iPad, version resembles the surface of a high quality sofa rather than a typical case. Microfibre Moshi, which marks it as Terahedron, is sufficiently flexible be used to clean up the MacBook screen and plush enough to feel as if it is inflated. Each time that we receive, we want to reach some more - it is just as nice. For the price of $35, it has just the right look and feel; If the idea take your MacBook Air bare or with a sleeve film appeals to you, this is a really great option.

Speck has a completely different but equally compelling solution in the form of SeeThru Satin for MacBook Air 11 " ($50)." Several generations of SeeThru and SeeThru Satin cases have been released for previous MacBook (and, of course, iPod, iPhone and iPads), but this version is probably the best yet for a laptop. It is supposed to be 50% thinner than the last generation MacBook cases, a difference which is evident when the hull plastic lasts is disabled, because it can flex a little despite its edges molded precision. Yet when he is on the MacBook Air, he does no less protection than feel before, just more thin. And it seems all so cool.

Rubber touch outside is called Satin because it feels like that: rail at microscopic without be shiny or slippery, a difference between this and standard SeeThru cases. It adds a translucent frosted coating black air which allows Apple, logo to shine from above, diminished somewhat, while providing port areas open and antenna/rear hinged access if necessary. That it can align 11 "Air to all them should not be taken for granted having regard to the thinness of the computer to its minimum points;" Speck uses very small clips to keep the case attached to the edges of the MacBook and rubberized bottom pads to cover rubber black ones on the computer.

Just as with the Muse, SeeThru Satin feels really well - "right", same - and offers a truly minimalist protection form if you are simply looking to keep most of scratch-free Air aluminum frame. Then the $ 50 price tag feels like scope given that Speck costs the same price for larger and heavier for the 17 versions "15" and 13 MacBook Pros,"he does there not getting around the fact that the MacBook Air version 11" sentiment accurate, crisp, who deserves a kind of premium version of SeeThru Satin iPhone, itself a true standout of rivals through his company appearance. It's a franchise that Speck has consistently improved safe in every generation, improved versions of each year as large those who preceded them, and if we weren't such enormous fans of protective films for the MacBook Air, we would use Satin every day. It is easy to install, solidly constructed and complement good appearance really nice Air.
