There may be only one word for Rainer Spehl’s new MacBook/Pro laptop cases: Classy. These babies are made of solid wood, are lined in leather, and come equipped with a magnetic closure.

among many in the tech field and on tech blogs generally mock this design and see it as ridiculous and impractical. i think it could do with some straps.

You’re most right. It is completely impractical, but it is new, interesting, and beautiful – you can’t always marry form and function, but that doesn’t mean the piece or designer doesn’t deserve some merit.

Aren’t magnets bad for computers or is that just a myth I had in the back of my mind?

I think it’s a good concept, but impractical in that it’s solid wood body makes it heavy.
