As you might suspect, the case is watertight, dust-proof and impact resistant. Plus, the foam interior can be shaped to snugly fit whatever gadget you are trying to protect. Also features a carrying handle, pressure release valve and padlock loops. HW models take the overkill one step further with a pull out handle and wheels. [Odyssey via Core77]

The cases are coated in "Viscotex," which feels like a combination of vinyl and plastic and has a brushed metal look to it. There's a detachable handle and a little holder for your IR remote, and can actually be used as a case while your laptop's in use.

After using it for a week, we can say it's a good solution for schlepping your laptop around. We usually go with a messenger bag because we can carry more than just a laptop in it, but for $70 (15-inch), $90 (17-inch), or $65 (13-inch), you can keep your MacBook safe from drops and bumps. Oh, and there's a pink 13-inch version for unicorn lovers as well.

The construction quality is solid, and will definitely be able to absorb shocks either by itself or as another cushion inside a backpack. There are two straps inside each case to secure the laptop as well.

And when your MacBook's in use, you can flip the case upside down and sit your laptop feet down on four pads so it can be raised up adequately for ventilation. The cases also come with a little holder for your IR remote, which is handy if you're into slideshows on the go.

In short, it's a good laptop case with no real defects that we can see. – Jason Chen

Yet, it's much, much more than a mere pizza box. There are straps inside to hold that laptop secure, and look, on the outside: "Enjoy Your Pizza" it says right there. Why squander your money on some swank $250 messenger bag when you can have this? One thing's for sure, it's a waste of a perfectly good $34.90. – Charlie White

We love gadgets but we hate buying bags to put them in, because most only come in boring colors and yet manage to be wildly unattractive. Tom Bihn announced a new laptop case today that seems to be neither: each Archetype costs $95, is made to order in Seattle and is initially available in one of four sizes to fit the 13" MacBook, 17" MacBook Pro, 15.4" MacBook Pro, and 12" Powerbook.

The Archetype comes in three styles, Galvanized Majilite (a durable synthetic leather made to look like galvanized steel), Snow Leopard Ultrasuede and Geniune Cork. The first two we couldn't care less about as they're kind of, well, tacky, but we do love the look of the Cork-covered Archetype, which manages to be clean and modern while still having personality.
