One of Twelve South’s biggest claims to fame was its classic BookBook lineup of cases, designed to provide the look of a vintage, weathered book, offsetting the modern glass and aluminum of iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. The popularity of BookBook led the company to come up with Journal, a more modern leather wallet look that quickly became another runaway hit — so successful in fact that Twelve South is now expanding Journal to the MacBook, provided an elegant yet minimalist case that fits Apple’s latest MacBook Air with Retina and MacBook Pro devices like a glove, yet still fits Apple’s older MacBook Pro Retina Display models as well.
Made from luxurious, New Zealand full-grain cognac leather on the exterior, a soft micro-suede lining on the inside protects your MacBook from scratches and scuffs, and there’s even a built-in document pocket so you can carry around a few important papers with you as well. Dual zippers make it easy to open and close, and reinforced corners protect the enclosed MacBook against bumps and drops, and it’s even designed so you can use your MacBook right in the case, making it a great way to quickly pack up when it’s time to go.
