When I get new stuff, I love to play dress up as various blog posts can attest. But the act of dressing up doesn't solely apply to my clothing purchases alone but also extends to various other things namely, in this particular case, my brand, spanking new iPad!
No, I don't have it with me but as is my usual SOP, I go around looking for accessories. My main concern is to protect my new tech gadget from bumps and bruises but the best part of this is when I find a product that serves the dual function of being stylish AND functional.
Hence, I've been looking around for the perfect genuine leather iPad case that will serve the purpose of covering the iPad, as a stand and as a fashionable accessory. I am adamant that I get a proper leather piece as I've had issues with synthetic leather products peeling on me. If I'm going to be spending a pretty amount of dollars, I want it to be real leather.
Amazingly enough, I've found the case that I want for a price that is really affordable. I am thinking of getting this rooCASE Textured Leather Apple iPad Folio Case in Magenta. It is listed going for USD35.99 on Overstock.com. I have a 10% off promo code so I would definitely consider getting it from there.
Of course, till I decide to actually get it, my iPad needs to be protected and so I have decided to use a vinyl sticker decal like on my Netty. I went back to the eBay store I purchased my HP 2133 decal from but there were slim pickings there so I had to broaden my search. I came across this FLorida-based company that had vinyl decals for the back as well as the front border going for $9.99. Plus with the international shipping via USPS for $1.99, I would have to pay $11.98 total. That's a really reasonable deal.
The store, MightySkins Outlet, has an array of ipad skins to choose from and I had a tough time trying to figure out how I wanted my iPad to be characterized. In the end I settled for this realistic looking zebra print.
I ran this option past my second sis to see if it was just me who thought the decal was too cute and she agreed with me. Even to the extent of saying it made her want to run her fingers through the fur, lol. I love it.
I am likely to be getting my iPad this coming Monday as I have relatives flying in for a holiday and my sis will be passing it through them. Since I just completed purchase of the decal today, I can only get it when my boss comes up at the end of the month. I still have time to decide if I want the rooCase now or sometime after Christmas cos I don't want my items to get caught up in any Christmas shipping snafus.
