Cool Hunting

Normally we wouldn't put a thing on our MacBook Air. It's so light and well...airy. We'd never want to cover up such a perfect piece of design. That is until now. The Incase MacBook Air Hardshell adds a layer of protection to the laptop without compromising on design or functionality.

Similar to the iPhone slider case, which provides a smooth matte finish to prevent butter fingers and has protected our iPhone from many an unintentional spill, the new hardshell case provides the same unique shock absorption and impact protection.

The thick rubber feet give it much more stability than the rubber points on the computer. And, while it still heats up very quickly, the feet raise the laptop allowing air to circulate much more freely.

The best part of the shell is that it provides the perfect laptop disguise. Despite its light weight and thinness, we're always a little cautious to take the MacBook Air out and about. But with the new black shell, it makes the computer look like any old black book. It's a much sleeker way to travel, and has given us a whole new reason to love the Air.

Purchase it for $50 from Incase.
