With the launch of the new MacBook Air fast approaching, here at GearZap.com we realised that we cannot only focus on the new model – we must still offer a great range of products for the current and older versions of the MacBook Air, which is exactly why we are stocking a brand new Speck MacBook Air case for the current model – the Speck TrimSleeve.

This MacBook Air case is expected to be highly popular due to its sophisticated, form-fitting design, its slimline nature means no weight or bulk is added and it offers excellent protective capabilities due to strong faux-leather exterior and padded inner layer – all of these things making it an excellent MacBook Air 11 case or MacBook Air 13 case.

The TrimSleeve really isn’t what you come to expect with a typical MacBook Air sleeve, this form-fitting case offers excellent grip and protects your MacBook Air with 100% coverage and a snap-button to keep it secure.

And if this new TrimSleeve doesn’t take your fancy, we have some other popular Speck MacBook cases that would be more than suitable to any MacBook Air owner, such as this Speck SeeThru Hard Shell:

This MacBook Hard case can protect your MacBook Air from knocks, bumps and scratches that can be expected from daily wear and tear. However, this case is quite unique in the way that it is transparent – allowing you and any others that see your MacBook Air to see the true elegance of the device in its original form.

If it is not a case you are after, and liked the idea of the TrimSleeve but perhaps want something a little different – the PixelSleeve may be something that interests you:

In contrast to the TrimSleeve, this PixelSleeve is a soft sleeve for the MacBook Air. However, just because it is soft – don’t think that it doesn’t protect, it has unique shock absorbing qualities which protect your delicate MacBook Air during daily usage.

This PixelSleeve has a black exterior but also has an ultra-soft micro-fleece finish which brushes and cleans the body of your MacBook whilst its inside the sleeve. This case is available as a MacBook Air 11 sleeve or as a MacBook Air 13 sleeve.

Speck make some of the best cases around available for Apple products, and we are proud to have been stocking them for a long time at GearZap.com.

First of all we have MacBook cases, all made specifically as a Speck MacBook case. This Speck SeeThru Hard Shell has always been one of our most popular products in all colours and styles – a stylish one that we currently have in stock is the clear one; showing off the natural beauty of the MacBook.

This case is also available in a number of colours and styles (including Satin and SeeThru) as a Speck MacBook Air case and as a Speck MacBook Pro case.

As Speck are a brand that are dedicated to supplying Apple related products, we also stock their iPad and iPad 2 cases. Due to the fact that all of the Speck products are custom made for specific Apple products, all cases fit perfectly around each device and offer the best protection around whilst still looking incredibly stylish.

Since the launch of the iPad 2, our Speck iPad 2 Cases have been extremely popular – with more and more people realising that a good case is needed to protect what is a very valuable and luxurious product, and this is a very popular Speck iPad 2 Case, the high quality and stylish Speck PixelSkin HD for iPad 2:

This form-fitting case also easily transforms into a handy stand, which is one of the reasons why it has proven to be so successful. We also have a number of cases available if you were looking for an original Speck iPad case.

The precision pre-cut invisibleSHIELD applies directly to your Apple MacBook, providing the toughest, most durable protection you will find. The invisibleSHIELD has its origins in the military, where it was used to protect high-speed helicopter blades from dust, dirt and debris. Now you can use that same powerful technology to protect your MacBook.

The invisibleSHIELD is only .2 millimeters thick making it the slimmest Apple Macbook skin of its kind. It is so tough that it’s backed by a lifetime guarantee. So, if it ever does wear or scratch, we will replace it for free, for the life of your device. And if you ever need to remove the invisibleSHIELD, no problem; it comes off clean and leaves no sticky residue.
