Summer is almost upon us, and MacDirectory offers its regular look at some hot new products in the world of music,
as well as computer speakers and computer protection.
>> Incase: Neoprene Sleeve for MacBook Air
and Hardshell Case for MacBook
Incase offers the first custom fit case for MacBook Air, available at
Apple retail. Complimenting the slender frame of the world's
thinnest notebook, the sleeve's minimal design features neoprene
construction, a plush faux-fur lining and a slip entry closure system,
making it the lightweight and low-key solution for discreetly
carrying the MacBook Air. $34.95.
The Hardshell Case for MacBook offers durable construction for
excellent notebook coverage. Featuring a frosted hardshell exterior,
soft-touch coating, raised rubber feet, thermal vents and trouble-
free access to all features, it's the most sophisticated and discreet
option in notebook protection. Available in black, white and red.
Priced at $49.95.

>> Upbeat Audio Boostaroo Revolution
One of the smallest made, but still very powerful, headphone
amps, the Boostaroo Revolution from Upbeat Audio is
different from other amps because it has a patent-pending
circuit that uses cross-feed technology to open up digital
sound. It's the difference between how music sounds at a
concert when you're at the back of a stadium, or up on the
stage surrounded by it. The Revolution provides four times
the power (at about the size of a Bic lighter) and rich, well-
balanced sound. Your iPod or mp3 player will love you for it.
Suggested retail price: $49.99, starting in May
