A Novel Way to Cover Your MacBook

BookBook is a one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case designed exclusively for 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. The classic case was designed to be used two ways. Use it as a traditional sleeve or use the elastic corner clips to hold your MacBook in place while you work with it in BookBook. Dual zippers allow you 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.

Brief Product Summary

Protect your computer in style with the BookBook Hardback Leather Case for MacBook. This case is unlike any other that is currently on the market, as it adds security as well as physical protection to your MacBook. If you invest in buying an Apple computer, it would be silly not to protect that investment in the best way possible; with the BookBook.

4.0 out of 5 stars The most unique case out there, July 11, 2011

This review is from: Twelve South (12-1004) BookBook, Hardback Leather Case for 15" MacBook Pro, Red (Personal Computers)

I wanted something special for my new Mac, and I found it. This case really does look like an antique book, except it has a zipper where the pages should be. It provides good protection, although I did combine it with a thin clip-on case for protection when I have removed my Mac from the Book Book for ventilation and easier mobility when open (hence 4 stars instead of 5). Unanticipated benefits include disguising the computer - its just not so obvious that there is an expensive computer where there appears to be a book. Also I don'd mind leaving this around the house (like on a coffee table). Instead of looking like clutter, it looks like it belongs.

Do I recommend it? Yes. But please don't get it, because if everyone does then my case's coolness factor will decline.

I'd been looking for a hard cover that was different from what it's currently available on the market... Well, this is it. This cover is amazing! It fits my 15" mac perfectly, giving it
an awesome look.
People around me asks me whatI'm reading... they don't realize that i have a computer in there. Pretty neat!!! And it does the job on protecting my mac from scratches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Old Book Look, August 25, 2011

This review is from: Twelve South (12-1004) BookBook, Hardback Leather Case for 15" MacBook Pro, Red (Personal Computers)

Splurged on this case and so glad I did. It's beautiful and truly does look like a large old book right down to the spine and the worn look. I have a speck see thru case on my 15" mac book pro and it fits snuggly in the Twelve South BookBook. I personally don't use the corner elastic bands as my mac being in the speck case stays put. I don't like the fact these little straps could rub my mac or speck case. Although it doesn't have a carrying strap which you know when you order this item, I don't find that a deal breaker as I don't really carry my mac book anywhere. I purchased this case as a protective way to take the mac book from the house to our RV for travel. I like knowing the mac is in a closed case while in the RV.

If you're looking for a laptop case that's not your normal everyday, look alike cases, then this is worth taking a look at. The price may be a bit expensive but once you see the item you'll understand why. I love the look of it and the quality. I figure the price of the mac justifies the price of this case. It will grab people's attention for sure!
