Reviews for Twelve South 13" BookBook Hardback Leather Case for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Retina Display

There's no doubting how attractive these are, or what a good concept it is. I bought one at the same time as my Air, but I don't take it out of the house often, so hadn't actually taken it and about, or even had the Air in the case much except a few times to show people.
The first time I actually used it last weekend, one of the zippers broke immediately. Makes me wonder how long the other zipper will last, but when its goes it will render the case useless.
Further, it isn't flexible, the Air doesn't fit it too harmoniously, so that when you do close it, if you aren't zipping it, it will tend to pry the Air open, waking it back up and draining power, so you may want to shut down more often than you otherwise would.
Lastly, and I am not saying there is any deception at all, but note that there is no room for anything but the Air, so if you want to take your charger, that's a separate 'carry'.
