Tom Bihn is now taking pre-orders for its Size Air11 Horizontal Cache sleeve (http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/300/TB0350), sized specifically for the new Apple 11-inch MacBook Air.

The Cache is designed to protect the laptop against scrapes and scratches from all sides. Its 1/4-inch (6mm) thick foam padding laminated with an exterior of four-ply Taslan and an interior of brushed tricot cradles the MacBook Air. With no Velcro or zipper, the Cache closes by tucking a generous flap into the top opening. The Cache protects your laptop with little bulk added and is ideal for those who don’t want their laptop case to make their loads heavier or take up a lot of space.

The Cache sleeve can be used on its own or slipped inside of the Tom Bihn Co-Pilot travel bag, Large Cafe Bag, Imago messenger bag, or any other larger Tom Bihn messenger bags, briefcases, or backpacks. One may also use the Cache inside of their current messenger bag, briefcase, or backpack.

The Cache is available for pre-order in black and ships by early November for US$30. It’s also available in Size Air13 for the 13-inch MacBook.
