The V-Luxe iPad Shell Is Vintage And Retro-Fantastic

You will not buy this. You will not think it’s practical. You will not think it’s a good return on investment. But you will still lust and droll over Paula Anne Patterson’s gorgeous, retrotastic new Kickstarter project.

The V-Luxe iPad Shell is a swiveling, tilting frame available in walnut, cherry or African mahogany for your iPad that mimics the looks of a vintage Philco Predicta television set. Your iPad forms the display, while the base of the V-Luxe fits a small but beefy sound system.

Gorgeous, no? Too bad Patterson wants $500 for each shell. That’s a lot of money for a bit of throwback kitsch. Boy do I want one, though.
