MaxUpgrades on Friday issued MaxSleeve, a series of sleeves for PowerBooks and iBooks that’s designed to fit in typical notebook bags or briefcases. It’s made of visco-elastic memory foam that cushions the laptop and features a two-zipper pull design that keeps the zippers from touching the computer. MaxSleeves for 17- and 15-inch PowerBooks are US$27.99 and $24.99, respectively, while the version that fits 12-inch PowerBooks as well as 12- and 14-inch iBooks is $23.50.
MaxUpgrades also introduced the iProtect cleaning cloth, which is made of ultra-fine microfibers and is designed for use on LCD screens. The front features a soft vanquished surface for dusting while the back has a knitted surface for cleaning fingerprints, grease and other marks. Pricing is $8.99.
