Fire-retardant sleeves for your laptop
Filed under: Laptops

We’re not sure if these new fire-retardant covers are meant to protect nearby objects in the event of
battery explosion, or if they’re meant to protect the
MacBook from thermal disaster in its surrounding environment — but either way, they’re a pretty stylish new necessity. Wrappers, a British retailer, is now selling jumbocord covers made from graphite granules embedded in the supposed contract-quality corduroy that has passed a “100,000 wear and tear rub test” — which we really hope doesn’t mean it was ubbed 100,000 times by a person. MacBook sleeves are £19.50 ($36) including worldwide shipping, and can be embroidered with initials for an additional three quid ($5.63). Regardless of whether or not your order one, we think that
Korean Air,
Qantas and
Virgin should get in touch with Wrappers to make some
airplane-friendly fire-retardant sleeves for
the type of computers that have a better chance of actually exploding.
