Plain Doctrine, a designer dedicated to make eco friendly accessories, just launched a new ipad sleeve. The material is water and stain-resistant high performance fabric made from recycled bottles, all sourced from USA.

The style is simple and elegant, while the price tagged at $79 is a bit steep at my own opinion. Definitely worth a look if you are a woman who is fever of reducing carbon footprint and enjoy simple lifestyle.

Available vis Plain Doctrine.

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.
