Vinyl solution for MacBook Air

Within minutes of Apple CEO Steve Jobs sliding the new MacBook Air out of an interoffice envelope, Claire Evans and Jona Bechtolt were well into designing what was possibly the first third party accessory for the new ultra slim laptop computer.

Sold through their new website, manilamac.com, the “AirMail” MacBook Air accessory is lined with fleece and costs $US29.95 ($34). Evans promises to ship worldwide. “As soon as we saw Steve Jobs holding that envelope, we looked at each other and knew what we wanted to do,” Evans said in an interview, adding at least 100 orders had been received since the website launched a day ago.

And here’s the best bit, it even looks almost exactly the same as the interoffice envelope Steve Jobs used to carry the MacBook Air onto the stage at Macworld.
