I'm also thinking I might need a multi port USB plug for the end of that extender. I can see my self using my 3G USB stick and a USB data stick at the same time.. Thanks! :-) I hadn’t really thought of that one, but that makes perfect sense! I’m also thinking I might need a multi port USB plug for the end of that extender.

Due to the slight lip on the edge of the slide-down port, I've found a couple of USB items to be just a little too fat to fit - in particular, my 3G USB stick. Aside from that little issue, I've found it great for everyday use! Aside from a cheap Incase sleeve, the only real accessory I’ve purchased specifically for my MB Air is a Belkin USB extender.

Along with a pen and some business cards.. But truly, your intuition is certainly more to the point! :-) LOL Of course I didn’t get my initials put on it! ;-)

I think I had to pay an extra $29 or so for mine! I am glad to hear that Apple got wise. :-) Vaja is wonderful, don't get me wrong, but once you get the Beyza you will marvel at the price you paid for what you got. Did you have your name embossed? Or are you already thinking ahead to how you will likely include the Thinvelope when you sell the Air. See? I know how you are!! ;-) LOL Oh, nice! I think I had to pay an extra $29 or so for mine!

Much better.. Will put it in an old classy briefcase of mine with room for all the other bits and it will be perfect! Thanks for the tip! :-) Well I just ordered the Beyza envelope in black/black, and the price is down to $139! Much better..

Because I had thought of exactly thought. Apple must have sat up a bit! I'll have a look at the Beyza! Long term, I'll lust after a Vaja, but we know how that is! LOL!

I have the superdrive, and it is very handy - especially when traveling. 2. Beyza Cases Thinvelope - love it! http://www.geardiary.com/2008/05/23/the-beyza-cases-macbook-air-thinvelope-leather-case-review/ 3. Perfect! 4. You may want to invest in the USB ethernet dongle - I can't tell you how many times I've been in a hotel that advertised wireless only to find that there wasn't. Not being able to easily plug in a cable is no fun...get the dongle. :-P Don't be afraid to USE it. Mine is my main machine, and it weathers daily abuse like you wouldn't believe. :-) I think you were just looking for an excuse to get one…admit it! ;-)
