Targus tempts the wallet with a new line of iPad cases
Targus has been making cases and accessories for Apple products for 25 years, so it's not surprising that, today, the company has announced a line of iPad cases, all of which look very nice. The top of the line case is the Hughes Leather Portfolio Slipcase (at right) for iPad, which is made of beautiful oil-tanned leather and has a soft twill inner lining. It uses a magnetic closure, and comes in black and brown. This executive-styled slipcase is going to run US$59.99. Next, Targus announced the Crave Slipcase for iPad (below). It's made of a durable and weatherproof material, and has a stain-guard coating for protection. The Crave is available in black and silver, and has stow-away top handles as well as an accessory pocket for other goodies. This slipcase has a midrange price of $34.99. Finally, the third new case for iPad from Targus is the A7 Neoprene Sleeve. The A7 comes in four colors: plum, brown, black, and blue. The A7 sleeve uses the Targus Tri-Cell Cushion System, which incorporates layers of foam, neoprene, and mesh for protection. This model will be available for $24.99. All of the new iPad cases will be available some time in April of 2010.
Wooden MacBook case for would-be Amish road warriors
Cut down a tree to save a Mac? Sure, it's better than using your face. These unpriced (hey, if you gotta ask...) wooden slip cases with leather lining and magnetic enclosures are designed and custom crafted by Rainer Spehl to fit 13-inch MacBooks or 15-inch MacBook Pros. While that's clearly a last-gen MacBook Pro pictured, we'll bet that Rainer will build the case to whatever dimensions you'd like just as long as you've got the cash to back up that pretty smile. Else, why not roll your own. [Via SlipperyBrick and Notcot]
