As I’ve said before, I do like a quirky case for my electronics. The IH-IM1106 Composition Book Case for iPad mini from iHome certainly meets the quirky criteria. It’s about the same size and certainly has the same appearance as those composition notebooks so familiar to school children. You could even fill in the label [...]

Levenger is offering another beautiful entry in their line of tech cases. The Pocquettes iPad mini Travel Case is made of textured full-grain leather.

I’ve tried a lot of iPad mini cases – Apple’s Smart Cover, Khomo full-body case, sleeves, zipper pouches, and tiny messenger-style bags. This beautiful iPad mini Sleeve from Mujjo is unlike any I’ve tried before. It’s a sleeve case, as you can see, but it’s not made of the normal fabric, leather, or faux leather [...]

The Eccentric sleeve is “handmade in Italy by a small atelier in the heart of Italy” from vegetable-tanned calf leather. It is available only in the Cognac color for the exterior, [...]
