I bought this item but was not sure I was going to like it but decided to take a chance on it. This cover exceeded my expectations. I expected something that looked a little cheap and that probably did not live up to the pictures shown in the product listing. I was pleasantly surprised. The cover is a nice faux leather that is elegant and fairly light. Most covers tend to add weight to the product you are buying them for, and while this does add a little it is not enough to make a difference. I especially loved the flip-out stand that elevates your MBA to a nice enough height so that your hands wont get cramped as mine tend to do with my arthiritis and it also keeps the MBA cool.

I was a bit concerned about the bands holding the cover of the MBA getting worn out, but they appear very sturdy and don't look like they will stretch out easily. I have received nothing but compliments from friends about the case and many wish their was a version for their iPad and iPod. So far the item was well worth the price I paid.

One small thing was that as a mac person who loves my little mac apple logo, I kinda wish they had cut out the apple logo in the cover....but it is not a deal breaker. I actually like the fact that this product when closed looks like a nice little folio instead of a computer and makes it less of a temptation for someone to steal and that is a concern for me.

I would recommend this with out hesitation and maybe the company can offer a few more colors in the same product.

Ordered mac air 13 and the case together, it fits nicely leaving the track pad and keyboard area open.
The material is faux leather but does not look cheap, it has got microfiber material inside to
protect mac air from scratches.
Expecting this cover to last long.

I was blown away by the quality and feel of this case. It is built extremely well and the quality of the faux leather doesn't feel cheap at all. Most importantly, for the price, this is truly an amazing case. I just bought a new MBA and was searching for a leather portfolio like case.. I found some that are extremely expensive, over $150 - $200. I kept searching and found this particular case from Amazon. Based on the positive reviews from other buyers, I decided to take the plunge. I am glad I did... I also love the faux suede on the palm rest area... No regret here..

I recently purchased a MacBook Air 13 in. and wanted to protect my investment. I looked at all the options I could find for covers, only to find that there aren't that many for the MBA. When I came across this one, I was skeptical, but I ordered it anyway. After several days, I must say that I love this case. It is lightweight, and I really like the leather folio look. I also like the soft feel where I rest my wrists while I am typing. I don't think you can go wrong with this case.

I bought this in November with the thought that this would be my interim case until I figured out just what I needed. The price was the selling point. I was impressed at how good it looks and how well it fit my needs. I was ready to buy a much more expensive case but I have stopped looking as this has exceeded my expectations.

After reading the other reviews for this case for my 13" Macbook Air, I had high expectations but was a bit skeptical that a $20 case could be as good as everyone was saying. Well, forget about being a skeptic, this case could be selling for 2 or 3 times what Amazon is asking. The quality of the faux leather is excellent, and the soft lining seems durable and won't be too prone to fuzzing up. The only niggle I might have is with the elastics that hold the case to the screen, mine seemed to be less quality than the rest of the case.

I found the comments regarding the magnetic closure getting in the way of the trackpad to be too critical, it is not difficult at all to get it to lay back out of the way and is barely noticeable in use.

Only time will tell if this case will be durable enough to stand up to daily use, but for the price, at first impression it can't be beat.

The bottom angle slot makes using my MBA quite pleasant -- allows for a better angle for web cam and easier on my wrists for typing at work with an external monitor above it. The top cover can cause my MBA display to lean back farther almost automatically when you push it back too far, but after working out that inconvenience, I love the feel of this Book Cover.

I was considering buying a hardshell case for my MacBook Air (MBA) to protect it when I travel. However, I don't like having them on all the time, and I have found that snap-on cases tend to get damaged if you remove them too often. Not only that, but dirt trapped under them can easily scratch the aluminum shell of a computer.
This seemed like a great alternative because it would protect it when I travel but be easily removable when I am not.

This case was an EXCELLENT purchase. It is sleek and sophisticated, well designed, and not too heavy or cumbersome. The outside of the case, while faux-leather, feels very high quality. The pleather is soft to the touch and stitching is understated, clean, and a perfect design touch. The MBA slides in easily to the bottom and the screen attaches to the back with two rubber straps. When closed the case looks like a sleek attache and provides almost all around protection and looks very stylish. When using the MBA inside the case the palmrest is soft and provides a nice alternative to the cold feel of the aluminum chassis. The inside of the case is clad in a soft microfiber material which is a huge plus over plastic cases as it should prevent scratches to the MBA from trapped material. For the price, this case cant be beat. It is stylish and functional and the PERFECT compliment for anyone with a MacBook Air.

While I don't find these particular downsides, there are a few notes on this case:
1. The locking flap does flip in front of the touchpad when open; however it does not really get in the way and can easily be folded under to hide.
2. The "stand" that pops out of the bottom is a good idea but pretty much useless. It's difficult to open, feels unstable, and the slightest push forward (such as resting your hands on the palmrest) causes it to collapse. I have no use for it anyway.
3. The magnetic snap connector works great, but the button-hole is so shallow it doesn't always snap in. The magnet will hold it, but sometimes it slides around.
4. The pleather cover tends to attract oil-prints.
5. (This really isn't a downside as much as a comparison) The case is not enclosed all the way around, meaning when closed, the edges of the MBA are exposed to dirt, bumps, etc. The shell of the case sticks out far enough to prevent from most bumps, but it is not as enclosed as say a zipper sleeve.

Overall I highly recommend this case.

Nice cover- looks professional. Fits the macbook air 13.3 2011 version. The snap does hang over the touch pad but does not get in the way of using it. Would buy again- would give as a gift.

First of all this is a 'cheap' laptop cover, the faux leather is obvious and you can feel the cardboard material inbetween it as is common with this type of cover.

However it is well designed with the clasp, fit, access to ports, and pop-out stand. It looks great and offers a fair amount of protection against minor scratches light hits to the bottom or top.

For $17 I'm happy with it assuming it holds up to normal use. The plastic covers or sleeves in the past have tended to be more trouble then they're worth.

As long as you don't mind the faux leather you'll probably be pleased with the cover as well.
