In a partnership with Incase, the limited run art magazine Arkitip just launched Curated by Arkitip, a line of artistically embellished Apple-based products. The inaugural product is a MacBook case designed by Craig Costello, better known as Krink or KR, the street artist whose handmade inks and markers are known for their distinctive dripping effect. For the case, it's rendered in an eye-catching metallic silver, making a welcome alternative to the more staid designs previously offered by Incase and Apple stores.
The limited-edition sleeve comes in versions for MacBook and the slightly larger MacBook Pro for $80 and is available from Incase. Get more info and news about upcoming releases on the Curated by Arkitip page. Also, take a look at Krink's personal blog at 12ozProphet.
