ColcaSac was a Salt Lake City–based company, started in 2004 as AppleSac, that specializes in the making of sleeves specifically for small-format computers and phones. The company started by producing protective sleeves for the Apple MacBook.[1] Due to trademark issues with Apple Inc., the company changed its name from AppleSac to ColcaSac in 2009.[2] It terminated activities in 2014.
Because of a high demand for PC and laptop sleeves, ColcaSac began producing custom sleeves upon request in 2007. The company claims that natural fabrics and earthy colors reduce attractiveness to thieves.[3]
As a company ColcaSac engages in environmentally respectful standards and is a member of 1% for the Planet. [4] By 2010, the company had started producing protective sleeves for a wide variety of hardware beyond the MacBook: Kindle, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPod Classic[1] using material such as hemp fibers.
