As much as I love new technology for catching up on the latest bestsellers (or, more likely, cheesy chick lit), there's something a little romantic about a battered old book. Whether it's been handed down in the family, or rescued from a charity shop. Perhaps it's the history, the smell or the joy of turning the pages.
Plus, no one's going to mug you for a book. Which makes it a fantastic cover for your more expensive gadgets.
I rather like this battered book case for the MacBook Air. The case has a hardback cover and spine to keep your Macbook Air safe from bumps, and the case zips up to keep it secure.
The Twelve South Bookbook MacBook Air Case can be found on the Selfridges website for £80.
