cases
Remember the MacBook Air case that was announced even before we knew for sure that the Air was real? Well, the Aria from Orbino is now a real product (meaning the 50% of you who voted it to be rumorware were wrong!) and it's pretty darn luxurious. Aircraft-grade aluminum, hand-folded calfskin leather... and that's just the start.

Orbino Aria MackBook Air Case: Was Rumorware, Now Real, Luxurious

A close-fitting leather suit, complete with cutouts for your precious Air... that's roughly what the Vaja Ivolution Leather Suit case is. Sure it adds to the bulk of the skinny Air, but it snuggles it in protective leather when open or closed and gives you access to power socket and connector drawer. I vaguely worry about air circulation inside it, since even sitting naked on the table my Air is cranking out a blaze of heat... but I guess that's why there's that mesh fabric segment where the vents are. It's a hand-crafted affair so there's over 1,000 color combos to choose, and that means the price starts at $280. [Vaja via LikeCool]
Vaja Ivolution is Leather Protection, Not Gimp Suit for MacBook Air

keyboards
Remember the beautiful gold and flowers keyboards from a few months back? This new keyboard from Japanese artist Kazuharu Sakura should probably go in the same "typing nightmare" category. Because it's handmade, and leather is a pretty unusual thing to have your keys made from... but they're missing something important. Legends. So, if you're into conversation-piece leather-gimp peripherals, and you know your way around a keyboard better than you know how to aim safely for the toilet in the dark, then this might be the one for you. There's no info, though, on how much this piece of luxury may cost—I imagine quite a lot. [Akihabaranews]

Leather Manila Macbook Air Sleeve Resurrects Old Joke In Style
Though nothing quite says "I have the thinnest computer in the world" like a manila envelope, the tan paper sleeve doesn't add much in terms of protection... or ostentatiousness. Perhaps it's time to upgrade to this leather version, which will keep your Macbook Air snug and (supposedly) safe while still giving a knowing wink to a promotional gimmick that got old ages ago. Priced at $38.50 and available imported from Japan from Bird Electron. [UberReview]

Iomega Introduces Leather 250GB Hip Flask, Er, eGo Drive
The people who brought you the camouflage eGo portable USB hard drive have traded the hunting rifle for the meerschaum pipe: the leather-clad 250GB eGo, which goes on sale today for just over $140, will look good in any study, but best in ones where there's a roaring fire and many leather-bound books. Iomega takes pains to note that this is the only leather portable drive on the market. Our guess is that, as stylish as it is, it may remain so for a while. (Second photo after the jump.)

Mouse Jacket Grown, Euthanized In Museum Lab
In one of the odder stories we've spotted in some time, an installation called "Victimless Leather" was on display at NY's MoMA. The piece was actually a living jacket crafted from mouse embryonic stem cells, fed nutrients through tubes. But after five weeks, it grew too large for its containment flask and had to be killed.

Buckle-less Belt Goes Against All T's Principles
Yeah, me again. I got into the Gizmodo office using a trebuchet Hannibal and I constructed from a drainpipe, a coupla ball bearings, some old tyre rubber that I ripped with my bare hands and a buckle-less belt. Now this ain't no infomercial brought to you on the

Hannspree Leather Purse TV Renders Us Confused, Somewhat Angry
Hannspree, a company that's no stranger to putting LCD screens in absurd places, has just pioneered a leather purse LCD TV. You read that right. Leather. Purse. LCD. TV. Purse. TV. LCD. Leather. TV. Purse. LCD. Purse. TV. Italian Leather. 9.6-inches. $259. You don't want one. [Hannspree via Shiny Shiny]

ASUS U2E Is A Light, Leather Bound Notebook That Is Heavy On Features
The U2E notebook from ASUS brings a 32GB SSD, an LED backlit panel and a small-lens webcam to an 11-inch, 2-pound, leather notebook. The coolest feature announced so far is definitely the Smart Logon Face Recognition. This software keeps the computer secure by using the webcam to scan the face in front of it and only grant access after a positive facial scan. The U2E will be available in brown or black, but pricing and availability have not yet been announced. See the gallery for more hot pics. [ASUS]

We told you about Vertu's Ascent Ti a few months ago when it was found in an FCC filing. Well, it's been a couple of months and the Ascent Ti is finally being released along with official details. So what does $6,628 get you? For starters, a quad-band GSM phone with 3G and a 3MP camera.

If you're going to get a case for your iPhone, please don't get this case. It's pink, it's tacky, and worst of all it has a "Lady Mirror" when you flip it open. We're not women (obviously, but it would be awesome if we were), but we're even offended by the fact that the manufacturer thinks ladies need a mirror in their iPhone case. What's even more offensive is the price: $34.99. We vomit in disgust. [USBFever via i4u]

Leather Mouse is All Class
Sick of the other billionaires at the Yacht Club snickering at your silly plastic mouse? Yeah, me too. Earth-Treck has answered our needs and created a mouse wrapped in the luxurious brown or black leather. If you still haven't impressed your peers, this mouse comes with a matching USB hub. That should woo over the billionaires in no time. I think the Akihabara News translators said it best: "How sweet is that ?" No word on pricing or availability. More »

First Photos of the Delicious i-Volution Leather Vaja Macbook Case: $580...OMGWTF
I'm the last guy in the world to write a post about a mere laptop case. But I think you need to know about this semi rigid, form fitting case from Vaja, better known for their ipod cozies. Because it's gorgeous, hand crafted from fine Argintine full grain leather, and customizable in up to a 1000 color combos, it costs $580 bucks. That's as much as a cheap Dell laptop, like this Inspiron 1501. And it's almost twice as much as the aircraft aluminum Zero Halliburton laptop case. Of course, neither of those are hand stitched from the creamy buttocks of baby cows. More »

DLO's Zune Cases Hands-On: Luxury Edition
Continuing the Zune Accessories parade, today we have both the DLO Leather Zune case and the DLO Action Jacket, which is an armband case for the Zune. We still question the need for Zune cases, seeing as they're made out of a pretty scratch-proof rubberized plastic, but some people really like their gadgets pristine. More »

Prestigio Leather Wrapped Hard Drives: Bad Idea?
Pardon my logic, but when I'm cold, I generally like to wear my leather coat because it warms me up. So wouldn't a leather coat around a hard drive be a bad idea? Prestigio has released their leather clad Data Safe II USB HDD available up to 120GB in size. It is a pretty average external hard drive: bus powered, encryption, passwording, etc. It is available in black and brown leather and would likely make your hard drive burn to a crisp, but at least it will look good doing so.
