Without a doubt Apple’s iPad is a great, portable computing marvel and arguably the finest tablet on the market. Also, without a doubt, keeping it safe, secure and scratch free is one of your fulltime (Steve) jobs. So, one day you decide to protect it within a sleeve, something which offers protection and also conveys your personality or perhaps fulfils a more important role.
Are you one of those people who sits on a train reviewing the latest on Virgin Money? Or is checking out the latest music reviews more your style? Whatever your fancy, you need to keep your beloved tablet safe and sound.
Whether it’s for an iPad or some other device I always avoid generic covers. True, they work but they lack the distinctiveness I prefer. Here, I present a selection of the most useful and best looking iPad sleeves.
UNDERCOVER SLEEVE
If feeling like a secret agent is your thing then why not try this nifty document envelope style sleeve? Just remember not to drop it in the post box with your other mail! There is a lot of good detail to this pouch; phoney address, batteredlook and adjustable straps that ensure your iPad stays snug inside.
GAMEBOY SLEEVE
Love your portable games consoles as much as your ‘grown-up’ toys? Then why not ferret your tablet inside this Gameboy lookalike sleeve?
TEMPLE SLEEVES
How about something a little more discreet, something more professional looking? Then these sleeves from Temple could be just for you.
ETCH-A-SKETCH
Take a step into your childhood and relive those memories of frustration of trying to design anything in Etch-a-Sketch.
I-PAD I-MAXI
If sanitary towels are your thing then this product from Etsy is right up your street. As they, themselves say, ‘With its durable vinyl outer layer and plush, quilted-cotton sleeve, the iMaxi helps keep your iPad clean and dry. Plus, the iMaxi’s Velcro-latched, advanced wing design wraps snugly around your device, so your iPad always stays where it should. Best of all, it shields it from all those unsightly and embarrassing data leaks that would make any motherboard worry!’ Well, I can’t add anything to that!
LEOPARDSKIN EFFECT
Going from the ridiculous to the erm even more ridiculous. Don’t be a plonker and treat yourself to a leopard-skin effect iPad sleeve.
MOUSTACHE
Four layers of iPad-hugging felt embrace your tablet inside this moustachioed sleeve.
RED LEATHER
Oberon designs some great quality leather sleeves. This Gothic-effect, Ox Blood coloured one really catches my eye.
ORIGAMI SLEEVE
One drawback of the tablet design that doesn’t trouble laptops is that you can’t just put it down and still use it when you tire of holding it. Now, Incase has released the Origami case that folds into clever little stand which is perfect for upright or horizontal viewing.
REVERSIBLE NEOPRENE
If you are looking for something functional and gives you two for the price of one? Why not purchase this little number?
And finally, should all else fail and you can’t find a sleeve to your taste then you could always try your hand and making your own.
TARDIS
The ultimate in Geek-chic. With Doctor Who’s popularity at a new high then it’s time to unleash your inner Whovian.















If i will buy a iPad this year probably i wil choose between origami sleeve and reversible neoprene, only these two look good.
they’re all pretty:) but I consider the 2nd and the last to be the most appealing:) all the others are ok, but don’t impress by design… anyway, i hate iPads… better bu a 10 inch notebook
Thanks for sharing these & very well explain post. Some thing new to learn from this helpful post.
I think any gadget that comes out they’ll find a way to customize or offer some sort of protective covers. I love my Ipad and have a family picture as my cover sleve.
I like Loepardskin and Reversible for ipad. looks cool and more when an ipad in it.
Ipad is a new trendsetter in IT world. people eager to have it (including me :D )
