Cool Bananas Shockproof case for MacBook Air
0I’ve been trying out the Cool Bananas Shockproof case for 11″ MacBook Air from Gearzap over the past week and just wanted to write a few words about it.
The case is extremely slimline, so it won’t make your super slim MacBook Air look in any way bulky. Apart from it’s stylish looks in black nylon, I feel safe in the knowledge that this will fully protect my expensive laptop from any little knocks and bumps, with its shock-absorbing memory foam core and soft inner material. It’s perfect for using to carry on its own, or popping inside another bag or rucksack. Here are some pictures of the case.
I’m very impressed with the quality of the Cool Bananas Shockproof and the little design touches it has, such as the double zip with the Cool Bananas logo on each zip pull.
Cool Bananas Shockproof case for the 11.6″ MacBook Air is currently £20.95 from Gearzap. They also have a huge collection of other cases for the 11″ Air and also the 13″ option.

CushCase for iPad 2
0After buying my iPad 2 almost a week ago, I’ve been keen to find it a sleeve to live in to protect when not in use. I had been thinking about buying the Smart Cover, but I’m the kind of girl that likes her tech fully enveloped in softness and protection all over, not just the screen.
I browsed what felt like the entire internet, but everything fell short of what I wanted. What I really wanted was a denim sleeve to match the CushCase for my MacBook Air I bought last month. But a quick look at the CushCase eBay store I purchased it from and there were no denim sleeves listed to fit iPad 2.
I decided it couldn’t hurt to email the seller to enquire, given that that is how I obtained the denim sleeve for the 11″ MacBook Air. Once again CushCase came up trumps and they had the iPad 2 sleeves in stock (£8.99), just not listed yet. That was Tuesday, today (Thursday) it arrived. Like with the MacBook Air case I’m thrilled with it. Looks great and offers all round protection for my gadget. Best part for the iPad is the soft fleece inside which cleans the screen every time you slide it in and out.
At the time of writing, the denim sleeve for iPad 2 isn’t listed on the CushCase store but if you fire a quick email off to the seller I’m sure he’ll help you out.

Noir Luxe case for iPhone 4
2A few weeks ago my Apple Bumper arrived as part of the free Case Program from Apple for iPhone 4 customers. I chose the Bumper as I didn’t want my iPhone completely covered by a case. However, I wasn’t impressed with the way it made my iPhone look – bulky and very un-iPhone-like.
Up until today I had been using my old Proporta Maya sleeve from my iPhone 3G. Because iPhone 4 is slimmer, the sleeve was very sloppy on it and easily slid out. But, it was enough to protect it in my pocket for the short term while I shopped around for replacement sleeves specifically for iPhone 4.
A few days ago I was browsing AmazonUK and found a Noir Luxe leather sleeve for less than £12. Here are some photos…
It’s hand stiched fine quality leather and has a soft protective interior – and a pull tab to get the iPhone in and out easily.
If, like me, you prefer your tech naked in your hand but fully protected when it’s in your bag and pocket then I’d recommend the Noir Luxe leather sleeve for iPhone 4.

Griffin Jumper for iPad
6With the iPad due to land at Fruit Bytes HQ in just 3 days, I have been wanting to find a suitable sleeve to carry it in. I first turned my attention to the official iPad case from Apple, but after hearing about it’s tight fit and inability to sit in the iPad Dock while in it’s case, I started to look around for alternatives.
Because I wanted a sleeve to easily pop my iPad in and out of between using, I started my search online a couple of weeks ago for something that not only does the job but looks good aswell. One of my first stops was Griffin Technology, knowing how they make great accessories for Apple hardware. I found the perfect sleeve: Jumper for iPad.
I ordered the Jumper on Monday 17th May and it was shipped on Tuesday 18th May. Despite the estimated delivery time of 2-3 weeks it arrived today, just 7 days after shipping! That’s super speedy delivery.
I am absolutely thrilled with it. The material is a soft stretchy neoprene on the outside with a beautiful soft material inside which will really offer great protection against dust and dirt.
Griffin also have fantastic support, from the speedy and friendly response I got when asking for stock estimation, to the despatch and delivery of it. Jumper for iPad is just $29.99 which is a fantastic price for such a good quality and well made sleeve.
