Hasta La Gadget!

If you’re a fan of iPad cases like the DodoCase and the BookBook that make your iPad look like a notebook or a leather-bound text when not in use, you can get the same effect for your iPhone or your iPad with The Little Black Book by Pad and Quill. The Little Black Book case fits the iPad, iPhone 4, and IPhone 3Gs snugly inside a hand-carved wooden frame that’s bound on the outside with black leather binding to look exactly like a notebook. The case even has an elastic strap to keep the cover closed when your phone is inside, and a red fabric “bookmark” that dangles from the bottom, completing the look.

The Little Black Book for iPhone has spaces carved at the top and bottom so you can leave it in the case while you have your headphones or headset plugged in to the stereo port on the top, or a charging cable or dock connector plugged into the bottom. The iPad version has the same spaces at the bottom, but two separate spaces at the top for the power button and audio ports. The Little Black Book for iPhone is available now for $39.99, while the iPad version is $54.99. Pad and Quill plans to make a version for the iPod Touch available next month and is accepting pre-orders now for $39.99.
