Well that sucks:

After five years of making cases and dust covers for Apple portables and desktops, Willow Design is closing and offering a final close-out sale on all its products. The company's doors will close on February 29, 2004. The closure has been a "very difficult but necessary decision based on the economics of offshore competition," President Nigel Peck told MacMinute.

Is this for when you want to pretend you are camping with your Mac?

With me, it's always sad to see a Mac supporter go under...
I wish them the best of luck on what ever they will plan on doing in the future.

I don't want to knock on them, but their products weren't attractive at all.

Looking at their website I picture some housewife that looks like the Mom from King of the hill at her sewing machine making computer cosies.

Aw, you mean the whole concept of selling $10 crap for $50-plus to Mac users didn't work? Man, that's a shame.
Why people bought their stuff just escapes me.
