The [Bape x](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-stadium-goods) BUILT [Macbook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-5) & [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pad-quill) Sleeves are the latest items that you can dress up your gadgets with. The Bape x BUILT Macbook & iPhone Sleeves are made with neoprene, which is a material that's part of a family of synthetic rubbers. Both accessories come in a green and gray-ish camo theme which is vintage A Bathing Ape design. These are simple products with no complications; all you have to do is slip your computer or iPhone in and you're good to go.
