Holy crap. Check out this amazing custom iPad cover Redditor 44 Oz. had made for him by Australian-based leatherworking firm High On Glue, made with premium leather, suede lining, a kangaroo leather spine and embossed with the original Apple logo designed by Ron Wayne back in 1976, featuring Sir Isaac Newton resting under an Apple tree.
I don’t usually like folio-style cases, but I’m sliming myself with thick ropes of drool here. Covetous ropes of drool. This is a thing of beauty. Beat the rush and go give High On Glue your business, they’re going to be backed-up for months after this case goes viral.

My son would destroy this.
Beautiful, yes. But I absolutely hate that kind of mechanism for holding the iPad. Too bad too, it’s lovely on the outside…
better get one quick! before Apple makes them stop
looks like everyone has already over loaded their site. ::)
I’M IN LOVE!!!!
Wow. Journey back to the 1970’s … However, anything that uses those elastic corner straps to hold the iPad in is a FAIL in my book. And let’s face it, the original Apple logo is quite ugly in reality.
Thanks for linking my case! Check out how they carved the front here. http://snapguide.com/guides/carve-tool-leather/
Wrong.. Mac-case vintage leather folio blows this on away. 159.99, worth every penny. And the vintage leather flight jacket is on an entirely different level. Easily the finest laptop/iPad case ever created.
Mac-case dot com… By far the best. No contest (speedy… But soooo worth it). Right at home laying on the seat of your $600k Ferrari….
One of the ugliest cases I’ve ever seen.
