If you want to commission your own, we'll gladly do it, but it'd be expensive. For our (it's so hard not to pluralize it) fee you're looking at 3 hours @ 20 bucks an hour. Factor in the yarn and that's about another 40. So all in you'd be looking about 100 bucks for a stupid MacBook cover. Of course, you could supply us with the yarn and save a few bucks.
It's hard to describe the opening, but it's done in such a way that it cuddles all the corners regardless if it's buttoned or not. Oh yeah, did you notice that kick-ass button and button hole?

That looks awesome! Do you think there is a chance of static build up that could hurt little mr. mac?
Good question, Mike. I honestly have no idea. But now that you mention it, I still have no idea. It's all natural wools and stuff and the hats I wear of the same material don't make my hair static-y, but electronics sure are finicky. I'll let you know if anything bad happens to my 'puter but I haven't noticed any static while using thus far; it is still fresh though.
I'm looking to knit a laptop case myself, and was wondering how much yarn you ended up needing to make this/what gauge your yarn was? It looks great!
It was probably half a skein for each of the five yarns. I would recommend using a seed stitch (knit, purl) because it's less elastic. Also, before you start get a good gauge (knit around 20 stitches for several inches, and then measure it off the needles) so that you're dimensions work out for a snug fit. Lastly, washable yarns would be ideal (I didn't), otherwise you'll need to dry clean it if it gets dirty.
