iPad Pro, still deciding
Mr. PQ is good to me, I think. I arrived home last week to find a brand new Apple iPad Pro propped cozily in our new bookbindery Contega iPad Pro case. Mr. PQ knows how I love a good book, the more vintage the better. So, there it was, the iPP(iPad Pro) in all its shining metal and glassy glory. It was big, but this didn’t surprise me, I’d watched the Apple bigwig presentation on a big screen. It had four, stereo speakers, at least that is what my 17 year old told me; something about left/right differentiation and sound perception and that did impress me. It has a multitasking and split keyboard feature; neither my hands nor brain work this way so I have no comment.
As most people are aware, I am a very reticent early adopter and generally ascribe to Stockholm Syndrom any technical insight I might stumble upon. Which is why when it came to making our a case for my iPad Pro I rely on our CNC design engineer to create a Baltic Birch frame, that, in spite of its streamline look and feel, is as durable and beautiful as all of it’s predecessors. Chris Stapleton never sounded so good! (the Country Music Awards notwithstanding).
From there, Bruce in St. Paul, took over and crafted a stately and durable cover of Buckram Linen with a delightfully grippy internal surface that enables multiple propping positions as well as a surface to grip the otherwise greased pig like surface of iPP metal. And yes, it holds the Apple Pencil nicely which is great because at a C-note per pop, the Pencil is not nearly so expendable as the various nubs and stubs that litter the bottom of my backpack.
For you luxury leather aficionados, our craft partners in Leon have designed a Valet Bag that is far too versatile to define as a sleeve. It props, it protects and it holds Apple’s Smart Keyboard and iPencil. This Valet Bag might easily be one of my favorite of the iPad cases we have produced.
Finally, for those living the ironic life of being a minimalist in an iPad Pro world, we have crafted the Oxford luxury leather iPad Pro case. American herdsmen produce great steers which explains why the Oxford folio case for iPad Pro can be crafted from a single piece of full grain bridle quality saddle leather. The durability of leather combined with parachute grade thread used for stitching illustrates why we have no problem offering a 25-year warranty on all of our leather iPhone and iPad cases.
While I took possession of my iPad Pro a week ago, the jury is still out regarding whether I will weave it into my lifestyle or gift it to one of our many hard working employees. At any rate, I’ll likely need to lock myself in my bathroom to actually have a go at iP Pro.
