Moleskine has long been the notebook of choice for artists and authors. It is a stylish and sturdy companion for writing and sketching on the go and always made of the highest quality materials. Now Moleskine has released a new range of iPad covers called iCover. The iCover is elegant and much more than a simple protective case for your iPad. According to the company the iCover is 'conceived as analog-digital ultra-portable workstations for contemporary nomads."
The features of the Moleskine case for the iPad make it a highly usable work folder while being a complete notebook/sketchpad at the same time. It is designed for maximum usability while simultaneously making a bold statement of culture and style. They are black with signature Moleskine rounded corners, a luxurious and protective suede inner lining and an elastic band to hold the case shut when not in use. Inside the case features a sleeve with a security tab to secure your iPad and still allow access to the control ports on the right hand side when it is open. On the left hand side there is a blank page notebook for taking notes or conceiving sketches on the go.
The cultural significance of Moleskine and the future dominance of the iPad make them remarkable companions. Putting paper and a touch screen together in one package could be considered by some to be redundant, but the iPad has never been about doing away with the need for creative minds to have access to notes to keep track of their thoughts. The iPad is about replacing the need to carry books, magazines and newspapers with you and to connect the worlds of technology and information in a highly portable way. The addition of the notepaper in the Moleskine iPad case extends the reach of the iPad to the creative mind.
There are several other distinctive iPad cases on the market now. It seems with the release of the iPad many cover designers came out to try to impress. After all, the sleek narrow styling of the iPad is deserving of something more than a basic silicone case. Another comparable, high quality and distinctive iPad case is the DODOCase, a book-bound case with a bamboo frame. The DODOCase comes in a range of 12 colors and is priced competitively at $59.95.
Other distinctive iPad cases include BOOK for iPad, a case that folds around your iPad so that it looks like a book when sitting on your bookshelf. There are also the inCase and Cloak iPad Covers. The new Moleskine iCover iPad Case is available from Amazon for $89.95 with heaps of pictures so you can explore the look and feel of the distinctive case. It may be available via other outlets in time, so if you have a Newegg promo code or can secure a discount at another retailer you should start making inquiries now.
