Bullet-proof MacBook cases released

Techshell has introduced a new line of protective covers for MacBooks and MacBook Pros that are constructed from Dura-Flex, the same material used to manufacture bullet-proof glass. The cases are snap on with no adhesives and provide protection from scratches, stains and other damage. They provide access to all connections and are available in clear and assorted transparent colors. The new cases are priced at $50 and available for the 12-inch PowerBook, the 13-inch MacBook and 15 and 17-inch Mac Book Pros (Core 2 Duo Revision 2 or higher).

Bullet Proof?

Puhleeze.

A thin layer of a bullet proof material does not make something bullet proof.

Which bullets?

I wonder who shot at his Mac and which rifle and bullets he was using. The distance would probaby also be a factor. Is it also bullet-proof from a few inches distance?

I also wonder why anyone would buy a bullet proof casing. Why shoot at your Mac, why not do something more useful with it?

Do people buy bullet proof vests to shoot themselves in the chest?

Well, this might sell well at various universities and schools if people are fearing their the next VT or Columbine.

Or maybe if you work in a company where there's a crazy IT guy who shoots at any Mac he sees.

To take a page from Fark forums:

I work at Techshell, and I am getting a big kick out of all these responses!

I think someone used one of those AirSoft guns! :)
