DODOcase iPad cases are made by hand in San Francisco, CA ($60) using a traditional bookbinding process. The case features a shell made from faux leather, inside cover, elastic closure strap, and a bamboo tray. The bamboo tray is perfectly milled to hold your iPad using four corner mounted rubber bumpers. While it’s been argued that the iPad and other e-readers are more environmentally-friendly by saving paper and reducing the number of books published, we consider this case green as well. The bamboo tray is a good starting point for sustainable materials, but the company is also socially conscious, keeping production of the cases with a local bookbinder based in San Francisco as well. According to the website, the success of the DODOcase has also revived a once struggling bookbinding business. [Image: dodocase.com]
As we mentioned, the DODOcase is built by hand, so availability is limited. Be sure to visit the DODOcase website and order your case today. Your iPad, the environment, and a local business we be very glad that you did!
