Pad me

oh hello there. finally, i got my hands on the ipad2. i refused to queue up at the apple stores on day of release, and i didn't want to buy online from apple as delivery takes 3-4 weeks, which is just crazy in this digital age. the other retailers started selling the ipads from 5pm, and with my fast fingers i managed to order one from retailer john lewis. just minutes later when i forwarded the link to a friend, all the ipads were sold out. anyway, i selected the option of collecting in store on saturday, and so i had the ipad all weekend.

in a narcissistic way, one of the first thing i did was to check out my blog. it looked great if i may say so heh! with all the registration and software upgrades out of the way, the very important task now is to find an ipad case. i narrowed it down to the two options below, as both comes with the option of hot stamping initials on the covers.

i am leaning towards the gorgeous turquoise goatskin cover on the left. it's so simple in design but the gold stamping worked really well with the color of the cover. i think this will age so beautifully. it's from a retailer based in the US, and it costs about US$100 excluding shipping.

i also like the mock croc brown leather case from smythson. it also allows the option of adding our initials to the cover, and the process should only take 2-3 days. the cover plus customisation comes to around £226.

- turquoise green goatskin ipad cover available here.
- smythson brown croc embossed ipad cover available here.
- ipad2 available from john lewis here.


so which one do you like? or do you have any other covers to recommend?
