Cutesy Monster Laptop Sleeve -- Perfect for Kid Computing

by Christine Whitney, posted Jun 13th 2008 at 9:10AM

We halfway want to hate on this new Monster Laptop Cozy, but secretly, we're kinda into it. It's homespun and fleecy and, come on, it's cute. We all have mixed feelings about fleece as a fashion statement, but have decided that it's okay for kids and computers.

The sleeve in question is handmade by indie crafter 'beckaboo,' whose wares walk a fine line between adorable and annoying (monster finger puppets for kids, DO, 'Dad' Tattoo T-shirts, DON'T). If we were 12 and had laptops, this sleeve would be high on our list of priorities, though at our age it may be a little NSFW. [Source: Etsy.com, via Geeksugar]
