At Happy Owl Studio we have a serious love affair with Apple's industrial design. Its why we started this company after all. And the iPhone is no exception. Steve Jobs said, "Its like a beautiful old Leica camera" and we agree. With its sexy combination of glass and steel, it just feels good in the hand. But it's so darn slippery and cold sometimes isn't it?

Enter our newest product - the Leather Skin and the Bamboo Skin for iPhone 4/4S. Beautiful old Leica cameras were made of steel, glass and leather. The leather skin and the bamboo skin make the iPhone complete and feel ooh-so-good in hand, protect the glass back and look great doing it. It's the in-hand experience that really seals the deal, so get your hands on one. You'll be glad you did.

Lately we have been working on a dashing new product - a case specifically designed for your favorite laptop and ours, the Macbook Air.

Designed to fit its slim and sexy shape, the Briefcase for Macbook Air was inspired by requests from friends who are just as particular as we are about their electronics accessories. We knew we'd hit the jackpot when we showed an early prototype of the briefcase to Steve Sande (one of our very favorite bloggers) and not only was he enthusiastic about it, but he said he was especially glad to see designers thinking about how products are actually used when eyeing the integrated cable loops.
