Pad & Quill’s Moleskine-Like iPad Case, Now With Added Transformations
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, ipad, Today's Chili
Do you like the clean, classic aesthetic of book-binder style iPad cases, but also crave the utility of cases with built-in stands? Pad & Quill has you covered with its new Contega, a “bookbindery handmade” case with some fancy extras.
The Contega is made from card and leather, with a wooden interior frame to hold your iPad 2. Closed, it looks almost identical to any other bookbindery case. When you open it, though, you see that there is a second hinge around back which lets the section containing the iPad swing out. The two parts of the cover then form a triangular easel which holds the iPad up for watching movies and the like.
The pocket from Pad & Quill’s other iPad 2 case — the Octavo — has been moved from the inside cover to a hidden position behind the iPad itself. This should stop annoying flapping.
The man behind Pad & Quill, Brian Holmes, tells me that the new case holds the iPad 2 even more firmly than before. Given that the Octavo I tested is the snuggest case I have ever used, this means that you can be fairly confident that your tablet won’t take an unexpected dive.
The Contega comes in three internal color options and costs $90. Available June 23rd.
