Hasta La Gadget!

If you’ve been waiting for a colorful and portable way to protect your iPad that stops just short of a protective sleeve or a bulky case, the new iSkin Duo and iSkin Vu may be perfect for you. Neither case offers the kind of rugged protection you’ll want for carrying your iPad on a road trip or through an airport, but they’re both designed to allow you to use your iPad on a day to day basis while keeping it safe from scratches and damage.

The iSkin Duo is a thin, molded silicone case that has protective covers for the earphone port, volume, home, and sleep buttons. The silicone is smooth and non-porous to resist dust and lint, and has been treated with antimicrobial protection, if you’re the type who worries about germs on your iPad. The iSkin Duo also comes in seven different colors, including a see-through “arctic” version that’s almost clear.

The iSkin Vu is a more firm and rugged case with a semi-clear design on the back and combines a hard plastic shield on the back with a softer bumper that’s easy to handle. The Vu has a hatch on the bottom that allows you to dock or plug in your iPad when not in use without having to remove the skin, and has recessed covers for the other buttons.  Both the iSkin Duo and the iSkin Vu are available now for $49.99 and $64.99 respectively.
