from miss_framboesa (20 Nov 2009): You can think of them as a tree of creativity, with branches joining together indie musicians, charitable organizations, and t-shirts with a fashionable punch.

Isis Dei: Laptop Bags, MacBook Sleeves, Keyboard Covers, & Accessories | Isis Dei
from smartvoodoo (21 Oct 2009): I LOVE this company. So they are by far the best cases I have seen for the price. The construction is so thorough - with heat-dissipating inner lining, a memory foam shell, etcetera. AND if yours gets old or dirty you can trade it in for half off a new one! Making it way cheaper than any of those other crappy companies. I feel like with most companies you either get good design, or good protection, but with Isis you get both.
