So the new Apple tablet has finally arrived and instead of talking about what it can and can’t do, lets talk about what’s most important! And that is the accessories that will be coming out for this baby – it’s dress-up time. The creative folks over at Etsy already have iPad Wings (hardy har har) because like the designer behind it says “Every woman knows that wings make pads”. These stick on decals won’t really protect or do anything remotely useful for the iPad, but it will probably make you the butt of many jokes. On a more serious note, Griffin has already released some cases: The Elan Sleeve, Flex Grip, and Jumper. All of them aim to protect your new baby, but are not really that fashionable or even that pretty. I suspect that will change in the near future with other upcoming iPad cases.
Also, over at Amazon many retailers are quickly updating their netbook case descriptions to imply that they are also compatible with the iPad. If you don’t mind the extra material, I guess that could work. Then finally back over at Etsy again some people have already taken a crack at making some homegrown cases and while some are indeed pretty, the iPad Case Envelope kind of reminds me of when that other slim jim laptop (the Air) made its entry into the world to a lot of pomp and circumstance. Welcome iPad, you about to get your freak on….
