iPad Cover and Case Blog

Not a fan of leather? Good, neither are we. Plus you’ll be happy to hear that the guys and gals over at Tuff Luv have outdone themselves, with the world’s first ever iPad case for vegetarians.

The veggie leather iPad case as they call it, is made with a faux-leather material, but is just as strong and durable as traditional cow-based leather. If not more.

Another unique feature of the Tuff Luv case is that it has pull tabs built-in to easily remove your iPad from it, when you need quick access. Great for when you need to change a music tune, as the iPad makes a great Mp3 player.

This case should make vegetarians quite happy. I know I was glad to hear about it. Kudos to Tuff Luv! However you will have to wait a bit to get it, as it doesn’t ship till end of May. You can pre-order it though.
