Booq Introduces Zipperless “Viper” Case For Macbook Air

Booq, a manufacturer of high end backpacks, laptop cases, and other gadget holding devices aimed at the tech enthusiast has done it again, combining form with function. Taking a cue from the magnetic cases of iPads, available since the iPad 2, Booq has come up with the all new Viper case for the Macbook Air.

The Viper case securely holds your Macbook in the sleeve without the use of velcro, buttons or zippers. With the Macbook air firmly in place at the bottom of the pouch like sleeve the top locks with a magnet. No worries the small, yet forceful magnet, won’t damage your computer or the contents on it’s hard drive..We asked.

“The MacBook Air is a beautiful, well-designed device,” says Thorsten Trotzenberg, Founder & CEO of Booq LLC. “There is no reason to add weight and unnecessary bulk to your MacBook Air. A sleeve should provide enough protection for everyday use, but still be slim and sleek, making it just as at home in a laptop bag as it is on its own . Viper sleeve keeps a low profile, makes zipper scratches non-existent, and the natural fiber style looks good from the coffee shop to the boardroom.”

The Viper features include:

Snug fit with hassle-free zipper-less magnetic closure
Made from natural fiber
Fits 11 and 13-inch MacBook Air
Available in sand, gray, black and purple

The case is available now direct from Booq here and at other electronics retailers

Ultrabook Review: The Acer Aspire S3

For the past week, I’ve been using an Acer Aspire S3 that Acer sent me to review. I actually like it–mostly. Mind you, this isn’t a perfect laptop–well, Ultrabook–in any way, but it’s nice. The keys feel good while typing on them, and the boot up is fast thanks to the OS being on the SSD instead of the hard drive. The screen is bright and I haven’t had any issues with glare while using it outside. I also learned it could possibly pass the Brent Test after it accidentally fell out of my backpack. I wasn’t impressed with the battery life, the track pad, or the fact that you need a Louis and Clark expedition to find the arrows on the keyboard.
