One of the best things about the MacBook Air is how light and portable it is, making it perfect to take with you to the coffee shop when you want to study or work. Of course, carrying your MacBook Air does mean it's more prone to getting dinged or scratched. You don't need to get a big bulky case to protect your MacBook Air if you don't want to — get a sleeve instead. These sleeves will let you carry your MacBook around in style, without having to worry about attaching a clunky case to your new thin Mac laptop.
