Technology Apple laptop accesories

[data]

Hi guys, I'm going to get a powerbook 12" superdrive in a couple of months. But before I purchase it i've been trying to find a good backpack and some accessories to ease the process into apple. I am looking at the iskin, icurve while getting an extra keyboard and mouse. I will most likely get a booq powersleeve 12" which i think is a beauty. What do you guys think about the iskin and the icurve? Is the icurve collapsable? I can't really see it from the pictures.

I read from some review on another site about someone setting it up. So i assumed it was collapsable. What its just a glass statue?

Check out the Fusion 12 bag by Brenthaven. An awesome bag that has a slot for your Powerbook (custom made for the 12" Powerbook), iPod, notes, batteries, video adapters, power adapters, etc.

No, the iCurve isn't collapsible. It's just a plastic-like one-piece support to raise your computer and help disperse the heat from the computer. My brother has one, and he loves it.

I agree this is one of my options but I feel that it is too big. I wouldn't want to carry my books in my backpack and then carry a side bag like this. The booq powersleeve is very slim and does an amazing job. A friend of mine wants to get this tank.

has noone heard of the iskin?

I have an iSkin on my 12" superdrive powerbook. It doesn't fit perfectly - it hangs over the edges of the laptop just a little bit (a couple millimetres), but it fits the iBooks and larger powerbooks better. Still, I'm glad I have it on the keyboard, as I know I wouldn't want the stuff I find on my iSkin underneath my powerbook keys.

what do you do tape it down?

There's no need to do that; as I said, it only hangs over the edges a millimetre or two (1/16th inch?). The iSkin itself is rubbery, so it kind of sticks itself to the keyboard. I suppose if you were really determined, you could trim up the edges so they didn't hang over that little bit.

I think I will get this since the icurve doesn't collapse. This will be easier to transport. Does this really help cool down the laptop? I know the icurve does a great job.
