Twelve South 13" BookBook Hardback Leather Case for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina Display
Product Information
-
Overview
Thin and light
Designed exclusively for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina display, BookBook is a totally unique case for the thinnest of MacBooks. Weighing as little as 13.5 ounces with an ultra-thin profile, this handmade, genuine leather case offers heavy-duty protection. Two hardback covers, reinforced corners, and a cushioned spine offer solid impact protection. The inside of the case is lined with a velvety soft, chocolate brown, padded interior for added protection.
Protection from cover to cover
To keep your MacBook safe, BookBook has two rigid hardback covers for impact protection. A tough spine and reinforced corners add another layer of defense. Inside the slim case, your Mac rests between two super soft, chocolate brown, padded cushions, which look amazing against the silver finish on MacBook.
Details make this a best-seller
BookBook is made with genuine leather and hand distressed so no two are exactly alike. Designer cornices on the top of the case add a visual cue to ensure you always open BookBook right-side up. Use BookBook as a traditional sleeve or use the two soft elastic bands to steady your Mac while you work with it resting inside the case. Dual zippers with leather pulls let you charge your MacBook while it's safely stored inside BookBook.
Doubles as a stealthy mystery novel
One of the distinctive features of BookBook is that it disguises your MacBook, making it look like a vintage book. Tucked safely inside BookBook, your Mac is kept out of sight, even while sitting in your dorm room, coffee shop, or anywhere else you take your Mac. Along with protecting your Mac from the rigor of the road, BookBook helps keep it out of the hands of thieves.

Liking it a lot !
I have been looking for a case/sleeve ever since I bought the MBA.
I have seen & tried Incase & Hard Candy Case/Sleeves at Apple store but did not like them much, but this one is the best ! Although it may be a little bulky for some people.
Fits very well in my Laptop Briefcase and Backpack, also you can carry the case itself which looks cool .
For me thumbs up ! Only complaint maybe the price ! …- Written by Naoki A from White Plains

Careful!! Do not buy
Warning! If your a 13" Macbook Pro with retina display user do not waste $80 dollars on this case. This may fit a 13" macbook Air perfectly, but not a 13" retina. When you put the retina in the case, the elastics barely grab on to the corners of your screen, and if you just open your retina display a tad bit past 90 degrees the elastics slip right off leaving you with a dangling back of the case. Due this problem it defeats the purpose of the case and i ended up returning this. I'v also seen in other reviews that people had the same problem!!
In conclusion, this case is beautiful and is really made for the Macbook air, but do favour for yourself and do not buy this case if you have a macbook retina. I tell you this so you do not disappoint yourself. …- Written by Mark H from Richmond hill

Needs Improvement
I LOVE the look of this case but have been frustrated with the way my MacBook Air slips around in it when unzipped. The elastic re straints in the top corners are not enough to prevent the slipping. I feel restraints or pockets should be added to the bottom corners of the case as well. …

It should be no problem using the Bookbook with a hard shell already on the MBA since most hard shel ls I know do not increase the size of the MBA at all. …

Does the metal zipper latch on the inside scratch the sides of the macbook? Looks like there would be metal to metal contact if you're not careful.
- Asked by Kyle T from Mililani
- 17-Jun-2012
Answer
The zipper is plastic. Should have no issue with scratching. What I don't like about it is that it has to be unzipped a little to connect the charger. I am considering the Sena Folio because all ports are available all the time. …
