I folded up the material so it made a pouch or an envelope, seamed it up, included enough for a flap and added velcro for a closure.
When the ipad is tucked inside it closes together to keep it safe. I take it with me when I have an appointment and I can play games or read the latest downloaded book from the library. And naturally it will be going on our cross Canada trip with us.
One of my favourite apps is the OverDrive Media Consul which connect me to the Ontario library service. And from there I can download books, just like signing them out from the library, except they are easier to carry around. I can download up to 5 books at a time. You have the option to sign them out for 7 or 14 days. And the best part is you never get an overdue fine, as the books are automatically returned on the due date. You also have to option to reserve up to 3 books for reading at a later date.
The ipad is on vacation with us.
Do you travel with your ipad?
Now you'll have to whip up some of these for the new Kindle Fire! I usually travel with my Macbook because I write a lot. =) Super cute case!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I also like the idea that you can download books from you library on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to protect your ipad.
ReplyDeleteWhen I got my ipad as a birthday present P bought a case to go with it. Unfortuantely it only fitted ipad2 and he gave ipad 1 and so it didn't fit. But following you example I'll get out the sewing machine and have a go. either that or P will have to get me an ipad 2. The I could take it on holiday... ipad 1 needs to link up to WiFi.
ReplyDeleteVery useful post Linda.
I don't have an ipad. Maybe write a letter to Santa. Wonderful cover. I hope it is snug and warm and dry. V
ReplyDeleteNice cover! I have an Ipad that I got from work. So, it's really theirs, but I get to use it. I like it, it's interesting...but I'm not addicted, yet! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have all things Apple, but never got the iPad. I know I am missing out because I see so many apps just for it. Your cover is really crafty and will keep it nice and clean too.
ReplyDeleteI have an iRon...any chance of a cover for that in the pipeline!! lol xx
