Some product ideas are just plain genius. Case in point – the case-mate “handle-it” for the Apple MacBook, MacBook Pro, and PowerBook G4 notebooks. Handle-it is a premium leather and aluminum handle that’s designed exclusively for those notebooks.

Once attached, “handle-it” provides a convenient method of carrying your notebook around. The handle provides a conduit for heat by acting as a passive heat sink with fins – drawing heat away from the notebook during operation. Finally, when you’re ready to place the MacBook Pro down, you simply fold the handle inward and it’ll double as a notebook stand. Genius.

“handle-it” is made out of 6061 aircraft aluminum and can be purchased for $49.00.
