The ultimate protection from laptop thieves
The idea of hiding valuable technology inside something people don’t want is nothing new. Remember the iPod hidden inside a Zune thing? But this is pure genius. Behold the BookBook, a padded MacBook Pro case made from genuine hardcover, hand distressed books.
It’s a well known fact that the only thing thieves value less than books are OLD books, so this is really a pretty ingenious way to hide your MacBook. That is, assuming you don’t run into these guys in a dark alley.

You obviously haven’t seen the mastermind episode where students steal million dollars worth of old books from a campus library.
Awesome!!!! I may get one.
That’s pretty clever.
I had handled antique books that are worth as much as a car…

You people are piss’n me off!
Won’t people wonder why you are reading the book the wrong way…that high tech zipper should thwart any thief’s attempt at stealing that Mac.
