The Mezzi White M-Zero case (http://www.mezzi.com/13-Inch-Laptop-Cases/MEZZI-M-ZERO-Molded-Aluminum-Laptop-Case-White/) fits any Mac laptop up to 15-inches, but it should be of special interest to owners of the MacBook as its glossy white aluminum exterior matches the while design of Apple’s consumer notebook.

The M-Zero case — which has a retail price of US$99.99 — has a lot going for it. It has a rugged exterior and and padded gray and black leatherette interior. The case also sports a chrome handle (matched by chromed locks and pins), protective “feet” and a shoulder strap in case you get tired of using the handle.

The six-pound M-Zero also sports more interior space than you’d suspect at first glance (it has interior dimensions of 15.2 x 11 x 2.5 inches and exterior dimensions of 16 x 12 x 3 inches). It has: three pen holders; a phone, iPod or accessory pouch; and a business card compartment. A dual-key latch locks also offers some protective.

The only drawback to the M-Zero is that it seems to scratch easily. On the other hand, better it that your Apple laptop.
