The bamboo Silva case looks mighty tasty to a panda
Bamboo: lightweight, strong, cheap, handsome and sustainable. And ? if bamboo-scoffing pandas are anything to go by, an excellent anti-aphrodisiac. Now it comes in the shape of an MacBook case.
It?s called the Silva, and it comes sized to fit 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pros (but not MacBook Airs). The cases are CNC machined and then hand assembled, and have a leather strap for carrying. They are lined with wool felt and finished on the outside with tung oil and then a couple layers of polyurethane.
The Silva is certainly striking, and offers a lot of protection for its diminutive two-pounds weight. It?s also a little precious. I use a padded, bubbled envelope to protect my MacBook, and it does a great job. Then again, I seldom get out of bed before I have finished the day?s work, so perhaps my testing isn?t the most rigorous there is.
Also, my padded envelope cost almost nothing, whereas the Silva case goes for $180 (both sizes cost the same). You can buy one now, if you can live with the guilt of denying a panda a meal.
