Product Description

A novel way to cover MacBook

BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for MacBook and MacBook Pro. Available in Classic Black or Vibrant Red, BookBook brings three levels of security to your prized Mac. First, the hardback cover and spine provide solid protection from the rigors of the road. Second, the vintage book design disguises MacBook for superior security. And third, the stylish case protects you from being like everyone else because BookBook is totally original, just like you.

Hardback cover softens the blows.

Protecting your MacBook is a top priority and it’s job one for BookBook. Slip your Mac inside the velvety soft, padded interior. Zip it closed and your baby is nestled between two tough, rigid leather hardback covers for a solid level of impact absorbing protection. The rigid spine serves as crush protection for an additional line of defense. BookBook creates a hardback book structure that safeguards your MacBook like few other cases can. Far better than any floppy neoprene bag ever will. End of story.

The real story. No two are alike.

Each BookBook is brought to life with hand craftsmanship and distressing, ensuring no two are exactly alike. From dual zippers with leather pulls, that at first glance look like bookmarks, to the sturdy reinforced hardback covers, BookBook is a vintage work of art built to protect modern day Macs. Along with classic looks, BookBook was designed to use as a traditional sleeve or to work while connected via elastic corner clips. Those dual zippers give you the option to charge your MacBook while it safely stays inside BookBook. This case is designed with good looks and smart functionality, cover to cover.

BookBook is the perfect disguise.

One of the neatest features of BookBook is the stealthy security it delivers. No one will see your MacBook when it's tucked inside BookBook, even when it's right under their nose. Sitting on a coffee table, dorm room or desk, BookBook looks like a vintage piece of literature, not an expensive laptop. It’s a great disguise and a simple way to reduce the risk of your MacBook getting stolen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Total and classy protection 20 April 2011
By Nick Flynn TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
I got one of Twelve South's Leather cases for my 15inch MBPro Unibody ... as that cost a fair old slice of cash I wanted to provide it with as much protection as I could, and being a newly converted Mac Junkie, I'm a sucker for style.

This is one occasion where substance is every bit as good as style. The leather is thick and of good quality, and the zipped part is supple and looks like it will stand the test of time. Your MacBook Pro is only held in place by 2 elastic corner pieces for the lid, but as your MBP sits within the lip of the zip, it is nice and secure ... even at an angle. I don't know what the inner lining material is, some kind of soft felt ... very good at protecting the contents.

I have now had the BookBook for about 3 months, and I took my MBP out for the first time, and it is still in pristine condition. Everywhere I go I get very positive comment about it, and whilst it has had a few scrapes and knocks in the car, the MBP has remained snug and safe, and the few scrapes on the cover of the BookBook only adds to the appeal.

Another benefit is that the BookBook protects you from what can be a pretty warm laptop.

All in all, I love it, and have bought the ipad version as well.

I'm not so sure I subscribe to the theory that it provides added protection because it doesn't look like a laptop ... maybe in the house, on a bookshelf and there are more enticing things on offer ... probably doesn't work so well if you have the charging lead plugged in!

Beautifully and sturdily made, & good value. Place with other books in a bookcase & you'll never really notice it. If you want to use a computer bag/rucksack to take this in, you'll need one to fit a 17 inch laptop, but why bother since disguise is the idea here? Just shove it in an old but sturdy supermarket bag with a few mags & other normal travel debris, never gets a second glance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality 31 May 2011
By D90
Gimmicky, self-indulgent, impractical, BookBook has none of those features it has turned out to be one of my better purchases. with an added bonus of acting as a support tray to sit the computer on. It has a 'soft' security level in that you could leave it on a table or in a car under other paper work and you would not think to link an expensive computer with it.

Recently in the local Apple Service Store the technician cast his optic over the BookBook asking me why, where, how much and also commented that it seemed sturdy and useful.

It is not cheap however, it combines style, build quality and practicality. I am very pleased with this purchase.
