First announced in January, the BookBook is a hardback leather case designed for the MacBook and MacBook Pro that disguises your laptop as an old tome of literature when you're not using it.

The good news for us Brits is that it's made its way out of the US and over here; to the land of Shakespeare, Milton and Chaucer.

Available in Classic Black or Vibrant Red, the company behind the case, Twelve South, says that the BookBook will not only protect your laptop due to is hard back design, but fool stupid burglars into thinking it's just some old book rather than an expensive laptop, that is until they read this article. Doh.

Yours for £50 in the UK or $79.99 in the US.
