Marware, accessory maker for Apple products and one of the best in the business, has unveiled the Marware Sportfolio for MacBook Air this week. With the recently revealed price reduction for Apple's sleek laptop, a slim briefcase with roomy exterior pockets is just what you need.

"The elegant and sleek Sportfolio for MacBook Air easily adjusts to fit your needs," says Marware, which specializes in innovative products for the Apple market. "Use it as a slim briefcase with the accompanying ultra-soft shoulder strap, or remove the shoulder strap and use it as a protective slipcase in a briefcase or backpack."

According to the makers, the Sportfolio has a large secure interior pocket for business essentials, while its dual lined zippers provide easy access to the notebook. Roomy exterior pockets allow for additional storage, such as a superdrive, the Air's adapter, and other accessories connecting to its lonely USB port. The briefcase is made of "sleek, yet rugged" neoprene, which "covers and protects the world's thinnest notebook without adding bulk," Marware claims.

So here's what you're getting for $49.99:

■ Rugged neoprene outer construction ■ Large secure interior pocket for business essentials ■ Plastic inserts for impact protection ■ Roomy exterior pockets ■ Dual, lined zippers for easy opening ■ Comfortable carrying handles ■ Removable, padded, shock-absorbing shoulder strap ■ Easy-grip bottom for carrying as a folio

The accessory makers have recently introduced iPhone 3G sleeves as well, trying to get a head start with the slightly larger device, which Apple is set to launch on the 11th, this month. Marware has been providing products for the Apple community since 1993. Starting as a software development company, the product line has since expanded to include a wide range of laptop and iPod cases.
