Cardboard bag protects your laptop in recycled style

Here at Engadget, we do have a certain love for the aesthetic appeal of gadgets -- when we do things we like to do them with style, and we appreciate it when others do too. So, in that vein we present to you what might just possibly be the first cardboard laptop case ever (except for those folks who tote their machines in pizza boxes). It was shown at London's recent [re]Design exhibition, and claims to be made from 100 percent recycled materials, so we're assuming that the leather strap counts as recycled cow. Still, as someone pointed out in Inhabitat's comments, it's unclear what happens if you use this case in the rain.

You like DO DO?!?!?!?
wouldn't be nice if it falls apart in the rain...

You could always wrap it in a single or double layer of clingfilm. Sure to keep it dry. If it were mine I would papier mache the corners for added impact protection before I applied my waterproof layer.

These "battery exploding" posts everywhere are getting tired.

I really think this idea should be applied to all our clothing... cardboard underwear wouldn't chafe too much... would it?
