Beyza Thinvelope Macbook Air Leather Slipper Beyza Thinvelope Macbook Air Leather Slipper
Gadgeteer Hands On Review

When I initially saw the Thinvelope Leather Slipper Case,
it reminded me of several old college professors who carried their
papers around in cases almost identical in style and material. Beyza
has done a great job mixing Old World craftsmanship and modern
function. The Thinvelope is an excellent means of protecting and
transporting your Macbook Air with style.
The sleeve is extremely well made, the exterior is constructed of a
fine leather. It comes in six colors, flo tan, tan, black, antique
black, antique tan, and flo red.
All of the edges are meticulously finished. The tan leather is
accentuated with a white/cream stitching. Beyza's logo is embossed on
the bottom of the envelope’s flap. On the opposite side, beyzacases is embossed on the bottom center of the sleeve.
The Thinvelope comes well packaged and protected. Beyza ships the
case within a reasonably sturdy box and protective cloth sleeve of its
own. Crazy when the cases we buy to protect our tech-toys are so nice
that they come with protection of their own.....
As the name implies, the Thinvelope is shaped like a large leather envelope.
This sleeve is well fitted for the Macbook Air. Some cases are
either so snug that you have to shove or yank the device in and out, or
so loose that the device slides around within. As a sleeve, the
Thinvelope hits a nice median when it comes to fit.
The interior is lined with a very soft suede material that should
not scratch your MBAir at all. The lining allows you to easily slide
the Air into and out of the sleeve. The flap is held firmly in place by
a magnetic closure.
The Thinvelope does add a bit of thickness to the sleek and slim
laptop but not painfully so. With the Macbook Air inside, its
dimensions are 14in x 9.75in x 1.4in. Overall the protection it
provides is good. The sleeve does a great job of protecting against
scratches and a decent job of protecting against bumps and bruises. But
most likely not a drop of any significance.
I really like the Thinvelope leather slipper case for the Macbook
Air. The workmanship, materials, and style are truly excellent. Beyza
does a great job of creating an elegant method of carrying your Air
around. All that being said, at over $200, this case is at the upper
end of the cost scale for MBAir protection.
