Make Yourself Your Own iPad Case Right From 1945

By

For most intents and purposes, I’m really content with my Smart Cover (although I’d advise anyone not to get one of the more expensive leather ones, since the leather is cheap and they seem to scuff easily) but there’s always going to be people who want to stand out from the crowd and own an iPad cover just as eccentric as they are.

For those bright young things, perhaps this DIY 1945 iPad Case, made from the refuse of a basement: a few pieces of old wood, some old shorts for padding, a few screws, a luggage tag, a couple old kitchen magnets, some wood glue and wood stain. Pretty gorgeous, methinks.
