New “Sleaf” for 10.2″ Netbooks (and the Kindle DX) from Uniea

Posted on 06 January 2010 by


Netbooks and eBook readers are gaining momentum (and who knows what will happen if the mythical iTablet moves into the real world from the universe of hope and vaporware?), and if you travel a lot–and if you have a netbook or eBook reader, you probably do, you technogypsy you–then you probably want a case for it.

Uniea has a slightly different solution than the usual pouches, covers, and so on:  they call it a “sleaf”.  Uniea says, “The U-Sleaf reversible universal netbook sleeve for 10.2” netbooks. The U-Sleaf is also not like your typical laptop shell case. Instead of having lots of zippers and pockets, the U-Sleaf is a simple and stylish sleeve that allows you to easily slip your netbook in and out whenever you need it.”  (It’s reversible, too.)

So if you’re in the market for something to cover up your netbook or your Kindle DX, take a look at the sleaf.  It has an MSRP of $19.95.  Full press release after the jump.

Universal Electronic Accessories (“Uniea”), a leading designer and manufacturer of innovative electronic accessories, recently unveiled its newest sleeve design for  netbooks to the U.S. market. The U-Sleaf, a lightweight neoprene sleeve, represents a new innovation from Uniea, making style, fashion, and color the primary features of the new design.  The U-Sleaf fits all 10.2-inch netbooks as well as the new Amazon Kindle DX.

Simple Features

The U-Sleaf features a simple case design that is primarily designed to enhance the look and feel of users’ netbooks. While traditional netbook cases offer bulky features for added protection, the U-Sleaf’s minimalist design allows users to slide their netbook quickly and easily in and out of the sleeve for easy access. Lightweight neoprene construction adds a minimal amount of weight or bulk to 10-inch netbooks, while a unique, wave-shaped flap keeps the sleeve tightly closed without the use of zippers or Velcro, protecting the netbook from scratches.

Style Comes First

The designers at Uniea put style and fashion first with the U-Sleaf, trading drop protection for a simple sleeve design with reversible colors. The zipper- and Velcro-less U-Sleaf looks cooler than other cases on the market. It is easy to carry and can be slipped into a backpack, handbag, or carried by hand to class, to work, or to the local coffee shop.

Colors Like You’ve Never Seen

Because netbooks are designed to be used on the go, Uniea decided to give netbook users some exciting color options for the U-Sleaf that match their style and fashion. The U-Sleaf comes in two designer color patterns – a blue checkered pattern with red trim and a multicolored square matrix design – each with a reversible plain color on the inside that gives users added color variety for their netbooks.

The 10.2” U-Sleaf will be available in leading retail stores across the U.S. and Europe in early 2010 and is currently available in Uniea’s online store at www.unieastore.com for only $19.95.
