Hello Axio -

I’m having this small crisis, perhaps you can help.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to purchase a new MacBook Pro.  Overall, it’s pretty handy and the unforgiving aluminum edges might even prove useful during an altercation.  But this really isn’t the issue.

You see, it’s my old iBook G4.  5 years ago (yes, 60 full months), I bought it and shortly thereafter an Axio Hardsleeve.  The damn thing is still running.  It’s been through every major airport hub in the US more than once, to nine bachelor parties, Mardi Gras, got cultured in London, weathered Eastern Europe, confused in Japan and even recently spent fifteen days exploring the jungle via a jeep in Costa Rica.  Oh, and Minnesota.

Point being?  I’m fairly certain it’s alive.

I’ve been racking my brain for the means in which to kill it when I realized how it’s still operating… it must be the Hardsleeve.   Oh, did I mention the battery has been removed since late 2009?  Yes friends, this is serious business.

Since it obviously can’t be stopped using conventional weaponry, I hatched a plan… outfit my new MPB with a Hardsleeve in hopes it could effectively ‘retire’ my old laptop.  Level the playing field and there can be only one, right?  So I fired up yee old interwebs to discover that Axio is not making a Hardsleeve for the newest MBP, a tragedy of Elizabethan proportions.

That said, I’m writing to inquire as to when said item will be available as there is certainly adamant demand.  I don’t know how much longer I can keep the old iBook at bay.  Its been looking at me funny of late… right around the time when I brought the new laptop home.  

Hopefully this message will find it’s way to the appropriate VP / Product Manager / Industrial Designer etc.  Unsure how much time I’ve got left.  


Thanks in advance Axio.


Best -

Thomas
