Twelve South 11" BookBook for MacBook Air (2nd Gen.)
Twelve South 11" BookBook for MacBook Air (2nd Gen.)
Product Information
-
Overview
Just like MacBook Air, BookBook is extra light and ultra-thin. This genuine leather case has rigid hardback covers with reinforced corners to protect MacBook Air from impacts, yet it weighs a mere 13.5 ounces. And its soft, chocolate brown, padded interior helps preserve the finish on your Mac.
Beautifully versatile
You can use BookBook like a traditional sleeve. Or you can secure your MacBook Pro in place with the elastic corner bands, so you're free to use it without removing BookBook. This unique case also provides an additional level of security by disguising your MacBook Air as a vintage novel.

Like Fine Scotch
This case make me want to write a novel [with Scotch in-hand], and you how much engineers like to write documentation...
Seriou sly, very perfectly fitted - it adds just the right amount of protection that gives me confidence, but not too much as to compromise the slimness of the MacBook Air.
I generally like a technical clean look of a case, but this one brings a whole new dimension - it feels like a well worn wallet, the kind that just feels good when its in your hands. …- Written by Tom S from Orchard Park

Best Case Ever
Wow... Have to hand it to the folks at Twelve South... this is the perfect case for the Air. The price does seem a tad high, but compared to the other offerings out there (all from like $40-60) it's really not so much more, and with free shipping, definitely worth it.
Only complaint is now my Mom wants one just for her papers and I'm concerned about the way she's eyeing mine... she's already proclaimed "it will be mine" someday. …- Written by William J. M from Toronto

Fantastic Idea!
OK, I love the look of this leather case. It looks just like a book and it fits perfectly. You have to baby the zipper and make su re the edges do not get hit or they will curl up. With all precautions taken this is a great case that can easily fit into any boardroom or college campus. I use mine for travel to protect my products from prying eyes. I am going to order the 15" for my macbook pro- that is how much I love this case. I have one for my air, ipad and soon the pro. My three bookbook's are going to look great on the book case. Just a wonderful idea...I wish I thought of it. …

Unique and very well made, but mine had a zipper problem
This is a very unique case. It will not be for everyone, but I love mine. It is very well made, with quality leather and velvety material for the lining. There have been a number of comments re: the zippers....mine was difficult to operate, and just broke. I contacted the manufacturer, and they have been very responsive. …

Answer
My only experience in the first few hours of use is that 1) doing normal stuff, web browsing, email, youtube, etc. you'll have no problem (it gets warm, but not warmer than with normal use), however..... 2) I also tried out Starcraft 2 and the battery died in about an hour and the machine was SUPER hot. Nothing bad happened, and I'm not an expert, but yeah, the thing gets hot. …

Can I use my macbook air in clamshell mode with this case without overheating?
- Asked by Devon C from Ogden
- Sep 5, 2011
Answer
Based on the answer above by the person playing a game and the Air overheating with the case *open*, it's logical that it will get hotter closed and performing the same action.
Sadly you and I cannot have this beautiful case. :-( After my Air overheated with the Speck see-through plastic case which is also beautiful, I think I'll get the Incase perforated. …- Answered by William B from Chicago

Does the case protect the macbook air if it falls?
- Asked by Monish P
- Apr 6, 2012
Answer
To a certain degree, yes, especially if you mac would end up falling with one of its edges first to the ground, the case should minimize any damage that may otherwise be sustained. But of course, it won't protect if it falls high enough, say about a 4ft threshold. …
