World's Most Perfect MacBook Air Case, Designed By Jona Bechtolt

At the Macworld keynote, Steve Jobs pulled Air out of a manila envelope, and now the folks at Engadget are giving props to the "quick-thinking duo" Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans, who designed AirMail, a replica case made of "durable upholstery-grade vinyl and lined with fuzzy, soft fleece." Handmade, apparently. "Oh, if only we were this clever," say the Engadgeteers. But no mention that when he's not busy becoming a tech-blog darling, Bechtolt's busy being a music-blog darling as YACHT. No surprise the laptop-beat pop man's got a crush on computers, but now we finally realize why Bechtolt left the Blow; dude had to focus on his career capitalizing on Apple fever. Only $29.95! See a penny, pick it up.
