Vers announces $80 wooden iPad case

You’re probably already familiar with Vers’ signature line of wooden cases for the iPhone and iPod Touch. No surprise in the wake of the iPad’s announcement, then, that they have just announced a new wooden iPad Case, which (for $80) will ensconce your tablet in dead cedar flesh.

It looks pretty good, and I like the built-in kickstand, but personally, I’ve never quite understood the appeal of wooden casesl, but that might have more to do with my hysterical phobia of slicing a splinter through the fleshy web between my thumb and forefinger than any real failure of the concept.

    I get the desire for “authenticity” in a virtual world; I get the idea of “handcrafted materials” in a world of mass manufacturing. But no, just no.

    Got mine today. Looks nice. For some reason (expectation of quality) I had expected fold-up brackets in back, instead there’s one squared off U shaped metal rod that you carry separately and then push into two holes (one set of holes for horizontal viewing and one set for vertical viewing). One of the bracket holes on mine wasn’t properly finished so I had to clean out the excess using a 3/16″ drill bit.

    And .. If you want to change screen orientation, it’s necessary to take the ipad out of the case (snug fit, not so easy).
