Gorgeous Wooden Case Adds Girth To Already Fat MacBooks

Like the joyfully "heavy" people on TV talk-shows that make known they're unapproachable and "full of life", you as well can commemorate the slab-like heft of your old, rotund MacBook Pro with the Blackbox case, a plain ash sleeve that laughs at the supermodel-skinny MacBook Air. The cases, done in Golden, Colorado, are palm crafted and, similar to the MacBook itself, hewn from chunks of the tender material.

Despite its chunkiness, the wooden box is obviously flattering light, weighing in at only 1.5-pounds (which the product page says is the same as a bottle of drink – apt for something done in the same locale as Coors). If my MacBook ever left the residence these days (my iPad has flattering ample relegated the laptop to the desktop) then we might be tempted. Right up until we saw the $130 price-tag, that is.

Available now, for 15 and 13-inch MacBook Pros.
