With a bunch of little kids running around my house, I put a Speck CandyShell case on my iPad the very moment I brought it home. The problem is, that leaves the screen completely unprotected when I want to pack it in my laptop bag or purse.

So instead of using a laptop sleeve that’s way too big, I’ve got my eye on a beautiful handcrafted one that’s made specifically for my iPad.

Artisan Robbie Matsumoto handcrafts each of her leather iPad sleeves by hand, all of which are lined with a soft anti-scratch micro fiber and feature a snap leather closure. The pretty, barely blue sleeve (top) is exactly what I need to give my iPad extra protection when I’ve got it out and about with me, though I’m considering something a little more gender neutral so my husband won’t mind carrying it with him to work.

I’m also tempted to snatch up one of her iPhone covers (above) to save my iPhone 4 from the same fate–a daily dose of cookie crumbs and Cheerio dust that are a given for any device bouncing around my bag. -Kristen
