SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Macworld 2008, – Atlantic Inc., a leading manufacturer and distributor of media storage solutions and gaming and iPod® accessories, today announced the Raindrop Sleeve, a lightweight neoprene case designed to tightly fit and protect the MacBook line of notebook computers. Atlantic is displaying its complete EGO line of Apple accessories at Macworld 2008, Jan. 15-18, 2008 in San Francisco, Calif.
The Raindrop Sleeve is available in several sizes to fit and protect 13-, 15-, and 17-inch MacBook models. Available in black or titanium, the Raindrop Sleeve features a hidden zipper, four millimeter thick, high-density neoprene and a seamless inner surface to prevent scratching the notebook’s finish. For further protection, the Raindrop Sleeve is water-repellant, keeping the MacBook inside dry while transporting in damp weather conditions or in case of accidental spills.
“According to NPD, one in six of all notebooks sold in the U.S. are MacBooks, and due to its increasing popularity we designed this stylish, functional carrying case tailored to fit like a glove,” said James Dardashti, chief operating officer of Atlantic Inc. “Not only is the Raindrop Sleeve water-resistant, but it is also compact and lightweight enough to be tossed inside another notebook carrying case, offering additional MacBook protection for busy students, travelers and outdoor enthusiasts.”
The Raindrop Sleeve will be available in April, for $24.99, $27.99 and $29.99.
Atlantic is also announcing an addition to its award-winning EGO line of waterproof iPod sound cases - the ice™ - a portable, waterproof, floating iPod speaker system outfitted with two high-powered, waterproof, neodymium drivers, bass ports and an adjustable shower strap for hanging the unit from a shower head.

Wrist and shoulder straps offer two carrying options, while a pull-out stand supports desktop use. MSRP is $99.99.
