BookBook Case Turns iPad into One-Inch Leather-Bound Slab
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, Books, ipad, Today's Chili
The BookBook case for the iPad, from Apple accessory makers TwelveSouth, swaddles your precious tablet in a thick slathering of dead-cow, its hand-crafted, hand-distressed covers recalling beautifully bound books of old. It zips shut to keep out the dust, and the padded inner-chamber also contains a string and a button on either side to help make a stable a-shaped stand. It’s lovely, and will probably last way longer than your iPad.
It is also thick, doubling the depth of Apple’s slim tablet to an inch. And remember, the iPad only measures an in in its thickest part, while the BookBook will be that fat everywhere. TwelveSouth’s other BookBook case, for the MacBook Pro, also adds about a half-inch to the machine inside, but that’s a smaller percentage on a thicker computer.
It is nice-looking, though, in a lottery-winner’s bookshelf kind of way, and can be propped up next to the leather-bound sets of classics that you will never read. The price for this “tasteful” case is $70, in red or black. Available now.
