Brain Cell Size 6X
Tom Bihn on Wednesday introduced the first laptop case for Apple's MacBook Air. The popular laptop case manufacturer introduced the Brain Cell Size 6X, a new version of its Brain Cell laptop case designed specifically for Apple's newest notebook. The Tom Bihn Brain Cell laptop case offers advanced protection and is designed to clip securely inside a wide variety of Tom Bihn messenger bags, briefcases, and backpacks -- bags including the Empire Builder, Super Ego, ID, Ego, and Zephyr (see full list). Among the protective materials that make the Brain Cell are 8mm thick soft foam padding, 4mm hard corrugated plastic, cross-linked closed-cell polyethylene foam, and 12mm thick premium memory foam. The Brain Cell Size 6X will be available for $60 and is expected to ship in late February.

And not especially attractive. Though isn't one of the features of the MacBook Air that you can put it into an envelope? A nice Jiffy padded envelope would work, if you didn't want those carrying handles. If you buy a MacBook Air, you might just want to save yourself $58 (plus tax).

Why are TOM BIHN bags so expensive? http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/CTGY/_FAQ#faq10
As a side note to everyone else: Tom is designing a slim sleeve for the MacBook Air, as well as a vertical messenger bag with a built-in padded pocket for the laptop. Stay tuned.
