The A.P.C. x Incase Capsule Collection will complement the music junkie in you especially if you're into [rock music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragment). If you look at the imprint of these laptop accessories, you'll notice that the silhouette image is that of a guitar pedal board layout. The sleeves are made from denim which brings a nice change to the material that's normally used on most covers. Unfortunately, the collection is reserved for holding a 15″ [MacBook Pro](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardgraft-5050-macbook-pro-sleeve) model and the iPad 2. But who knows, if you're desperate enough, you could always try shoving a PC or another tablet to see if it fits inside! With the combination of denim and the guitar-related images, the A.P.C. x Incase Capsule Collection brings a rock and roll attitude to laptop accessories.
