nick & beau: palette case for iPad


'palette case', designed by nick & beau


designed by US-based brother design team nick & beau, the 'palette case' is one of few iPad cases
that permits the tablet to to be held easily with one hand, as though it were a painter's palette,
and the only of these to be composed of felts and leathers in contrast to less comfortable plastic,
facilitating use of the device for presentations and a range of mobile needs.

a hole in the back of the case is sized lets one's hand slip easily inside, supporting the device.
the cases will be made in texas from either merino wool felt and leather or completely of chestnut or black leather.
all ports, jacks, and cameras remain accessible, and the two back leather straps can be used either as carrying handles
or bent into a tabletop stand for easy and typing and viewing.

the project is currently seeking funding through a kickstarter campaign for its first production run.

nice idea, but horrid execution and solution functionality. Should I really stick my fingers in a hole.....?

artists have done it for hundreds of years, why not you too?! ;) think of it as a glove maybe if that helps. what design can you imagine that would be more accommodating to you but still accomplish the same purposes of extra stability and functionality? i cannot think of any. a sleeve maybe. but then one has to hold his arm at a weird angle all the time, not so good. :) i say, clever design and nice job on this ipad case.
