This week’s iPad-case roundup features, as usual, a nice variety of accessories for all tastes and needs, from the professional to the quirky. The options include a nod to the original City of Lights, and a great carrying bag that is sure to turn heads on the street.
The Ju’x in Case (iPad mini; $30) features a soft, protective cover and a microsuede interior for excellent protection and feel. The magnetic front cover ensures a that the case stays securely shut during transport, and it doubles as a viewing stand in landscape orientation.
The Ju’x is available in grey, black, blue, pink, red, or green.
Add a touch of class to your life with the French Paris Stamp (all iPad models; $26), from one of the artisans at online marketplace Etsy.
Available in grey or pink, the sleeve features popular landmarks from the Ville Lumière, and provides plenty of protection and padding for your tablet.
The Coquette (all iPad models; $39) is made from durable, rip-stop fabric with a beautiful Naïf-inspired motif printed in vivid colors—and, of course, a sturdy construction to keep your electronics safe.
The bag also features a zippered pocket at the front and a convenient handle for carrying the bag when you’re on the go.
The Audrey Sylvie (iPad 2, 3, and 4; $98) is made from smooth-grain leather and available in blue, red, pink, or black.
