Difusi Corporation has introduced the new , a high-end leather and Jacquard-nylon carrying case. Designed exclusively for Apple's Mac mini and 12-inch PowerBook, the case offers built-in protection, an LED-lighted interior, and high quality -luxurious design. The miniCase was developed to provide extra levels of impact protection by incorporating a hi-tech gel form for added protection; it comes with "over-padded" top-grain glove leather on all handles and carrying straps and on the main body of the carrying case; it also features rugged zippers with padded leather pulls, as well as Jacquard nylon as a secondary material, which it says "has been chosen because of its durability and great looks."

The case has six main compartments for carrying your mini or PowerBook, cables, accessories, documents, CDs, DVD movies, digital cameras and much more.

"The new case was designed with Apple's look and feel in mind, from Black leather and Jacquard nylon exterior with reflective light-grey nylon interior, an internal lighting array with 12-Volt, eight (8) super bright white LED's in a custom, removable fixture, finished with a clear anodized aluminum housing to provide lighting for items in the case, items that may have fallen on the floor or items that need a lot of illumination."

The miniCase will be available through select retailers, online distributors and from the company's online store this fall (the website says "November"). The company is offering a 40 percent discount off the $130 retail price for all pre-orders ($80). The miniCase comes with a limited Lifetime Warranty.
