Created by two self-confessed "Apple geeks" Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans, Steve Jobs' MacBook Air is so thin "it-fits-in-an-envelope" boast gets real with the creation of the AirMail laptop sleeve.

The new case is handmade out of durable upholstery-grade vinyl, and lined with fuzzy, soft fleece.

All AirMail sleeves have the same dimensions as standard interoffice manila envelopes, which the guys state, will serve to remind you - and everyone around you - that your new MacBook Air really is the thinnest laptop in the world.

$29.95, with shipping in the same timescale (2 weeks) as the new hardware.
