Old Men Protect MacBooks in Leather-Lined Wooden Cases

You know that eccentric uncle, who sits surrounded by leather-bound books in his study, drinking whisky? That's how I imagine these laptop cases smell...only, you know, more IKEA-pine than antique-oak.

Available for 13, 15 and 17-inch MacBook Pros (though you can probably try squeezing any slim laptop in there), they're made to order with leather-lined interiors. The daddy of the pack, the 17-incher, costs $350, but be warned if you're buying from non European countries—shipping is a bomb. [Rainer Spehl via Freshome via OhGizmo]
