Thanks to its stretchy neoprene exterior, the PixelSleeve can also accommodate the SeeThru and SeeThru Satin clamshell cases that Speck makes for the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air sat inside snugly, and the PixelSleeve wrapped around the system securely. I put the PixelSleeve on a 13-inch MacBook Air and, as advertised, it fit like a glove. The last time that I passed through JFK's security, the humorless TSA officer instructing me to remove my laptop from its sleeve seemed much more concerned with the laptop itself than the sleeve. While anything that lessens the pain of dealing with TSA is unquestionably attractive, personal experience makes me doubtful of this claim. Apparently, laptops stashed in zipperless sleeves need not be removed from their cases. According to Speck, the decision to forego a zipper is premised on the notion that it makes going through airport security easier. Rather than using a zipper, the PixelSleeve opens and closes with a flap in a fashion similar to that of an envelope.
In contrast, the soft micro-fleece material lining the PixelSleeve's interior is abundantly cushy, which helps keep your MacBook Air scratch-free. Its neoprene exterior layer sported a textured pixel-pattern design, making for a sleeve that looks great while providing a nice grip when carried. Our review unit was the 13-inch black model. The PixelSleeve is available for both the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models and comes in black, blue, teal, and purple colors.
The Speck PixelSleeve for MacBook Air ($34.95 list) offers a great solution to this issue, serving up a handsomely designed sleeve that gives a much-needed layer of protection to this svelte investment and some peace of mind to its owner.

After dropping over a thousand bucks on an Air, though, you can't help but become acutely aware that that very same featherweight frame is also practically begging to be broken, especially if you toss it in a bag full of books. Naturally, a large part of this appeal lies in its incredibly thin chassis. It's difficult to deny the appeal of the MacBook Air.
