Straight from the labs of Marware, the Sportfolio Sleeve is the case I'm using in my travels for my podcast recording sessions. Its spacious interior along with the ability to store my iPod in the outside pocket means that my portable Apple collection is always with me. Sizes for all MacBooks Available in 13-inch MacBook and 15.4 or17-inch MacBook Pro versions, the interior of the sleeve fits my MacBook Pro 15-inch model comfortably. Even with the polycarbonate shell attached to my MacBook Pro, I can fit it inside and close the zipper without a struggle. Neoprene seems to be the material of choice for Marware, as they use it in many of their products. Not only is this one of the best materials for cases, it is probably the best suited as well, because it is lightweight. Neoprene's soft characteristics offer a flexible fit because it stretches and is somewhat waterproof.
Whilst we don't recommend you take this case scuba diving or swimming anytime soon, for the occasional accident or walk in the rain you can be confident that your expensive Mac laptop won't get wet. Thoughtful design An important design feature in any form-fitting sleeve is the zipper.

You do not want the teeth to scratch the polycarbonate plastic or the anodized aluminum chassis of your precious notebook. Marware provides a lining that separates the zipper from the interior of the case, which is very important. Without it, you could end up scratching the casing of your notebook each time you open and close the zipper. Rubber grips are integrated in to the bottom and the sides of the sleeve for easy handling. Some sleeves use the same material all over and if it's anything like neoprene, it could very easily slip out of your hands when you are in a rush. Not so with the Sportfolio, the rubber sides ensure you have a comfortable no slip grip. Convenient Pocket On the exterior, you have the royal blue Orca skin pocket, as it is described in the product literature.
It is made to hold either your phone or more likely, an iPod of some description. I can imagine some situations where this would not be ideal but in general, it is great to be able to keep my iPod out of my pockets but close enough for me to use it while I'm on the move. Unfortunately, it is just too small to hold larger items like my notebook mouse or a larger digital compact camera.
A size increase in the pocket would be welcome. Marware has again surpassed themselves with a good quality product at a reasonable price. Without any extra gimmicky features or bold design tastes, the Sportfolio Sleeve makes for an ideal companion for your portable Mac. You can order Marware products from Dr.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which - regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall - can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014.

Apple employees testing wheelchair features New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas.
The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the 'time to stand' notification to 'time to roll' and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users Twitter has introduced 'stickers,' allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service.
A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts.
Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser.
