Smart iPad sleeve case from More combines two different looks in one.

The More iPad reversible sleeve is form fitting and grips your iPad tight, so a cover with this sleeve most likely would not fly. But the sleeve is quite cute, as it sports two different designs on it. The exterior on the sleeve pictured above has a Zebra print, with the interior a solid purple.

Site description:

• Compatible with Apple iPad
• Reversible neoprene sleeve (Slip-in style)
• Available in 3 unique styles:
  Black/Camo
  Neon Green/Blue Camo
  Purple/Zebra
• Cushioned interior with soft lining to prevent and shield
  your iPad from scratches, damages and dust
• Form fitted and lightweight

This case is part of the Safari collection for the iPad from More, a mobile accessory manufacturer based in Hong Kong. To view more pics and or to order, visit the More website.

Substrata, a wood manufacturing joint in Gresham, Oregon has a few sustainable wood iPad cases in the works.

The cases from Substrata are quite unique and feature eco friendly wood, as that is their specialty. They are developing two models, the iPad case and the iPad box. The difference between the two is a hinged lid (on the iPad box) which will fully cover and protect your Apple tablet. The combination of exotic WARM wood and tech is scrumptious, and these premium high quality cases are absolutely stunning.

Both cases are handcrafted in Oregon from sustainably harvested African wood, and Substrata mentions on their website, that they will donate a portion of profit to several restoration efforts in Africa. Giving back is what it’s all about.

But you will have to wait a bit to get your mitts on either one of these, as the wooden iPad cases won’t be available till June 2010.

Want the Apple iPad, but can’t quite afford the premium price of $499, then get the iPaPer Pad instead.

This hilarious new device, is not really a device, it’s a paper pad that resembles the look and size of the iPad tablet. Appropriately so, it’s dubbed the iPaperPad, and its GREEN too as it’s made with 100% recycled paper.

This would make an ideal gift for the broke Apple fan and it’s available online now. No pre-order needed. You get 3 pads per pack, with 25 sheets per pad.

Site description:

The iPaperPad is not magical or revolutionary. It’s a paper pad. This package contains three pads with 25 pages each. The pads are 7.47″ x 9.56″ and have a writable area of 5 3/4″ x 7 1/2″ on the face and provide the entire surface area on the back for additional notes. This three-pad pack was specifically designed so you could have one for yourself and share two with friends. The iPaperPad may be the same size as the Apple iPad but unlike the Apple iPad, these paper pads are 100% recyclable and compostable. They require no batteries, have virtually unlimited resolution, and their speed is controlled by you instead of a custom processor. The interface is so intuitive even a baby can use it! Be the envy of all your friends (except the ones you share the extra pads with) and buy an iPaperPad today! PLEASE NOTE: The iPaperPad is only fully functional with a writing instrument which must be purchased seperately. The iPaperPad is 100% compatible with any writing instrument designed for paper: pen, marker, crayon, etc
