BookBook for iPad—I SO want this

c187dd4491ac2abfc91969dc5150b59b 318x144 BookBook for iPad—I SO want this

I just posted the video on Friday of the BookBook for MacBook Pro where I alluded to the likelihood of a BookBook for iPad. And, sure enough, I get the email this morning saying it is available.

Like it’s bigger cousin, the BookBook for iPad is a handmade one-of-a-kind, hardback leather case. Since it’s for the iPad, though, it also doubles as an adjustable stand. As long as it’s going to function as a book, the iPad might as well look like a book…and a beautiful one at that. The hardback cover and spine provide impact protection, while the hard protective inner frame offers crush protection. As a bonus, the unique design of this case disguises iPad for an extra level of stealthy security.

BookBook for iPad is available in two styles: dark brown cover with black beneath ‘BookBook’ on the spine (Classic Black) and a more vibrant brown cover with red behind ‘BookBook’ on the spine (Vibrant Red) for $69.99 US.

What are you using for an iPad case. Seriously, I want to know—leave me a comment below.

As the Etsy profile says…

I’m a student at the University of Utah. I’ve been welding since I was 16, and have found a special ability in creative art. I’m married and have a little boy that was born Sept. 09. I hope to really go places with my art, so hopefully you’ll see it around.. icon smile ForkedUpArt serves up twisted iPhone stands

His art can be seen here at the ForkedUpArt Shop and includes several pieces that join bent spoons and forks into anthropomorphized iPhone stands. Three of the tines of each fork “hand” wrap around the iPhone while the bottom on curls under to support its weight. Spoons make up the legs and feet and another spoon or fork ties it all together as the spine and head of the cutlery creature.

Each of these iPhone-holding creations sells for US$30.
