As entertaining as the internet can be, who has time to read all of it? Even employing the services of a read-it-later app such as Instapaper or Pocket can make catching up on articles difficult.

The big draw of the U MacBook sleeve is its external, two-segmented pocket for an iPod, phone, small notebook or whatever, but I'm more impressed by the understated style of the thing. My current black neoprene case suddenly feels so...middle-school.
