There’s art in this week’s iPad-case roundup, where our usual complement of cases is joined by a case-like accessory that turns your tablet into a veritable studio for the little ones.
The Studio (iPad 2, 3, and 4; $40) is a veritable treasure trove of tools for buddying artists.
Designed with the little ones in mind, the Studio comes with a variety of special implements that, when used in conjunction with one of the company’s apps, can be used to simulate everything from brushes to stamps. The sturdy case keeps your tablet as safe as can be in the hands of a small child.
The Colour Coated (iPad mini; €295) is not priced for the faint of heart, but neither is it made from everyday materials: Its main ingredient is London leather, pigment-coated for a rich color and featuring a refined matte appearance.
The case comes in green, blue, or pink.
The Cameron (iPad 2, 3, and 4; $386) is made from premium leather, with a clasp closure that keeps your tablet safe during transport.
The case comes in burnt red with a brown interior.
The Tootsie Folio (iPad 2, 3, and 4; $70) is named after a famous Nashville watering hole and is made from a material that closely matches paper—perfect for your every doodling desire.
The case is lined with a scratch-free wool blend to keep your tablet safe, and its cover can flip around to double as a viewing or typing stand in landscape orientation.
The iOGrapher Mobile (iPad 3 and 4; $65) turns your tablet into a professional-grade camera (or so claims the company).
In addition to protecting your iPad even in the most demanding environments, the case features a 37mm threaded-lens receptacle, a shoe mount capable of supporting up to three accessories, and a set of oversized handles to help you steady your shots.
The Zipper Case (all iPad models; $55) is designed to provide 360-degree protection for your iPad both when you use it on the go.
The case is made from 100 percent nylon, and it comes in jet black with red accents.
The Mini Envelope (iPad mini; €35) is made from a premium suedette material that provides an excellent feel and protects your iPad while you’re on the go.
The case is handmade in Paris, and it comes in brown, blue, green, pink, or yellow.
The Hard iPad 3 Case (iPad 3 and 4; $30) is a hardshell, snap-on case with a soft exterior that protects the back of your tablet from bumps and scratches.
The case comes in three different patterns and colors, each with the word “PINK” displayed in bold letters.
The laconically-styled iPad Case (all iPad models; $50) provides a convenient and elegant solution for carrying your iPad safely without breaking the bank.
Made from a combination of polyurethane and polyester, the case comes in black, and it features a convenient zippered closure and wrist strap for easy transportation.
