Awesome laptop case

I recently decided i needed a laptop case in addition to my laptop bag to keep my brand new macbook from getting dented (it's my baby - what can i say?) When looking for products, i ran across this one, and it seemed like a no brainer to me. This whole case is made from recycled soda bottles, and it works great. It might be a little on the expensive side, but totally worth it in bragging rights.

A most nifty laptop case, made from recycled PET (juice/water bottle) plastic!

I just got a laptop case from Act2 Greensmart, which turns out to be made almost entirely from recycled PET (soda/water bottle) plastic. Everything but the zipper! Digging a little into it, it turns out they're a company that has, since 1995, been making traditionally manufactured product, but when they found they could do otherwise, they decided to go for it, 100%, by the end of 2008. A brave move, I'd say.

So anyway, I got it, and nevermind the greenness, it's just a well put together piece of gear! I could go on, but I found a fine article recently written about it, here http://sustainablog.org/2007/11/27/product-review-act-2-green-smart-laptop-jacket/

I just noticed another neat thing, looking at their site: They're keeping track of exactly how many bottles have been used to make the products sold so far, how much energy that saved, and how many hours a laptop would run on that. My bag has a little tag telling me how much mine played a part, kind of like the New Leaf breakouts you see in magazines that use their product. Nice way to give a tangibility to your specific impact of your choices.

I definitely recommend it, and think it's well priced, to boot.
