Speck cases
Speck has released SeeThru Hard Shells for the MacBook Air and iMac 20" Widescreen. The SeeThru Hard Shell case for MacBook Air is a 2-piece snap-on hard plastic case. It allows unrestricted access to all ports, keyboard, screen and camera. It's made of optically-clear and shatter proof polycarbonate plastic and features an accent-less design. The case is available in clear, smoke, red, bronze, and pink for $50. The SeeThru Hard Shell cover for Apple's 20" Widescreen iMac is a one-piece hard plastic cover. The case is totally removable and does not cover the screen and camera. Available colors include red, aqua, black and pink. It's also priced at $50.
Hmmm....

Looks nice except for the fact that it will increase the weight of your MBAir by 3/4 lbs.
I prefer the decals, which weigh next to nothing. Maybe they aren't popular in the US, but already available here in Japan.
What we really need is a cloth to replace the foam insert sheet that shipped with the MBA to protect the screen from possible smudges from the keyboard.

The screen is recessed a millimeter or so and the keys are flush with the level of the base, so I don't see any marks on my screen. And if you need a cloth (which you don't except to clean the screen after someone touches it with their grubby fingers, what's wrong with the one that came with the Air? The black one with the the little black apple logo on it.

How much thickness will it add? Will it fit in my MB Air sleevecase? http://www.sfbags.com/products/sleevecases/sleevecases.htm
