I like to periodically browse Etsy and check out all the latest original designs for iPad-related items. Today I was on their site for all of 10 seconds when this Wolf sleeve for the iPad (all generations).
This may be one of those ‘It’s Just You’ moments but I love this sleeve. Maybe because I’ve always loved wolves ever since reading White Fang and Call of the Wild as a kid, and still think they’re majestic, beautiful animals. This sleeve just feels like all kinds of fun to me.
The shop owner for this one is Isabelle Dansereau – and here’s the general description of this iPad sleeve:
This wolf iPad sleeve fits the New iPad (3rd generation), iPad 2 and iPad 1. It is made with 100% wool design felt (color: graphite). The flap is attached with a metal button. Details are made with 100% wool felt. The sparkles in the eyes are added by Swarovski rhinestones. There is a useful pocket at the front of the sleeve to carry your small accessories.
The sleeve is lined with black 100% cotton and two D-rings allow you to transform it into a small messenger bag. The strap is included with the sleeve(you can also choose to get the sleeve without the D-rings and the strap, the price would be 71$ instead of 76$, convo me for a reserved listing).
Design wool felt is an eco-friendly, sustainable and renewable material and it is perfect to protect your iPad since it is shock absorbent and water repellent. Felt thickness is 3mm or 1/8 inch.
The same seller also has similar owl and elephant sleeves available.
The Wolf iPad Sleeve is priced at $76 – for more details or to place an order check out its product page.
Brydge is yet another superb looking iPad-related Kickstarter project. It’s an iPad keyboard case that turns your iPad into something that looks a whole lot like a MacBook Air. The project creators reckon it transforms your iPad into a laptop worthy of Apple.
Made from aerospace-grade aluminum, with optional stereo speakers, Brydge connects to your iPad using a patent-pending hinge. This click-in hinge allows for close to 180 degrees of iPad positioning and holds your iPad secure.
The keyboard is said to be full-sized and looks great in their promo video.

How cool does the new Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for the new 2012 iPad and iPad 2 look? My answer would be very cool indeed. Here’s what’s to like about it:
– It’s a Smart cover alternative that packs a good looking Bluetooth wireless keyboard to pair up with your iPad 2 or new iPad. It attaches automatically like the Apple Smart Cover and supports the iPad’s automatic sleep/wake feature.
– It’s made of ‘ultrathin’ aluminum.
– It looks like the most slimline keyboard case combo I’ve seen yet for the iPad.
These go for $99.99 and are available for pre-order from Logitech now (shipping is expected within 2-4 weeks according to their Consumer Sales office). I just ordered one – and I’ll be sure to share some thoughts on it once I get it and try it out.
ZAGG has got two of their most popular iPad accessories ready for the new 3rd-gen iPad. Since the new iPad’s launch day they’ve been promoting their available range for it.
The two headline products are the invisibleSHIELD HD for screen protection and their ZAGGfolio keyboard case for the new iPad. invisibleSHIELD has been a leading name in screen protection for years now, and the ZAGGfolio is a top-notch keyboard case. It has by far the best keyboard I’ve seen in any of the iPad keyboard cases I’ve tried.
The invisibleSHIELD line starts at $34.99 for screen protection only. The ZAGGfolio goes for $99.99 and comes in a range of 10 colors. ZAGG also has standalone keyboards, cases, and skins available for the new iPad. You can check out the full range at the ZAGG page for new iPad accessories.
That’s the Adonit Jot Pro iPad 2 Stylus shown above. Mine just arrived yesterday and I got a chance to take it out of its packaging this morning. I’ll do a review of it when I’ve spent some time with it, but for now just a few quick notes and first impressions:
– It came nicely packaged and is a very handsome and relatively slim stylus.
– The rubberized grip is a nice feature.
– The use of a ‘precision disk’ and ballpoint-like tip feels a lot nicer and more natural to write with than the typical nub pointed stylus.
– Its magnets work pretty well. It stays pretty firmly in place on the right side of the iPad 2, and very firmly on the iPad 2 Smart Cover.
That’s about if tor lightning first impressions – I have a good feeling about this one.
