At first, I thought that this notebook case was a fantastic idea. It disguises your MacBook Pro (or similarly-sized machine) as a newspaper, and has a hidden zipper to stop it falling out.
But take a closer look. Spanish readers will note that the name of the paper is spelled wrong (it should be La Vanguardia, with an extra “i” before the final letter). This would grab my eye immediately, as would the “Herold Tribune” and “Le Pais”, presumably all altered for copyright reasons.
Still, disguise is a great idea: I carry my MacBook in a Jiffy Bag, tucked inside one of those indestructible Tyvek FedEx envelopes, and an old friend of mine actually had her laptop survive being left at a pub overnight using a similar trick.
Ironically, there is no version for the British Isles. Brits will see this joke coming: The obvious candidate for laptop-hiding in the UK would be the Guardian, a paper so famed for its poor spelling that its affectionate nickname is the Grauniad. €60.
