The Bowden and Sheffield are minimalist, hand crafted cases for the iPad. Available in leather and wool felt options. You can support independent craftsmen like Levi and Eric, student designers from Canada and Idaho who are running the campaign to get these made.

$15,012 of the $20,000 goal has been donated, but there is only 3 days to go. Good luck guys!

Pretty. The Turncoat functions with the simplicity of a sleeve while offering the protection of a more robust case. A single cut of 6oz, domestically tanned leather accommodates your iPad / iPad 2 with or without a smart cover. Four hand fastened duty snaps securely hold everything in place and allow for quick access from the top or bottom.

Also worth checking out their Straight Jacket sleeve for the 11″ and 13″ MacBook Air.

If you ever doubted the power of the iPad or the democratization of media, this is just a sign of what’s to come. Alesis is so smart to make this. Via Notcot.org and all over the web now!
