These cases are so ugly!

It's like they've never seen the Powerbook or something. I cought a TITANIUM case for my TITANIUM computer.

Re: These cases are so ug

They aren't that bad... kinda worldly looking... i agree, they don't really match the aesthetic of the g4ti, tho. :-/

Not worth the $$

The leather case concept is sound, but these things look generic and cheap. I dont think they look worldly at all. For the money they are asking you can find a better case. Go back to the drawing room.... you can do better.

Spammers

The cases are a bit of an acquired taste - and a bit effeminate looking. My biggest gripe with this company is their enthusiasm for spamming the PowerBook message board on this site.

Any ideas why i should be logged in as ?

Alternative Product

I'd much sooner get the following:

so check it out!

looks good

Did you folks who don't like the case see it from all angles? (Run the mouse over the sidebar to see other pics) I think it looks quite nice, and well made.

ripoff

I guess if you can afford a laptop for $3000, then $250 for a case wouldn't seem like so much. Jeez.

no protection

$250 for that thing (what's the deal with the hole, btw, it looks ugly and it screams "HEY! THERE'S A TIBOOK IN HERE! STEAL ME!"), and no protection whatsoever? If you drop your Ti-baby inside that case you can pretty much kiss it goodbye. For that kind of money, I want some serious padding.

In my opinion, the best case for the TiBook (albeit a bit pricey) is the TiCase from Dr. Bott. Hard-shell, aluminum, very well padded.

TI cases

These cases are so damn ugly and have no protection whatsoever. If u bump into something then your TI PB will be damage. For that kind of money I expected more, much more.

Not for everyone

Alfa Romeos and Armani suits aren't the most practical and economical products of their kind, but are designed for a more sophisticated market, those who prefer elegance and craftmanwhip over practicality. Most of us geeks, you know, would never understand why one would spend $300 on a 1993 Jado Romanee St Vivant when a $10 bottle of wine would do jes' fine.

The hole over the Apple logo? A masterful stroke which simply ooooozes snob appeal! Aw, c'mon...wouldn't you want EVERYONE in the world to know you've got the smart sense and style (and money to burn) to own a PowerBook Titanium G4?

Re: Not for everyone

It's not about practical and economical. It's about protecting your computer. This case doesn't do it.

The round hole over the Apple logo completely clashes with the shape of the Apple logo itself.

And... no, people who need to have a hole in their case to show off their Ti are poor "parvenu" losers... style is nonchalance, my friend.

For the record, I have an Alfa Romeo.
