Luxury iPad cases: premium cases for iPad

I’m sure you know what luxury products are? The kind of products you look at with admiration, but know you can’t afford them usually. Those are mostly mansions, super-cars, yachts, jewelery. All they have in common is that they’re way too expensive than similar products, without justifying the material plus labor costs needed to build them. So why a post about luxury cases for iPad? Well, because luxury accessories for iPad are not that expensive that you couldn’t afford them if you really want something to make you stand out from the crowd.

That being said, you’ll see a trend in the products I’ll write about in this post, that luxury iPad cases are usually made from leather, giving your tablet a distinctive look, classic if you will, not high tech at all (even if we have such cases here too on market). So, if you think you have a hundred dollars or so set aside for a premium iPad case let’s take a look at what you should be buying next.

Piel Frama Black Cinema Display Luxury Leather Case – 95$

We’re stepping down now in price a notch to 150 bucks with the Piel Frama Black Cinema Display Luxury case made from Spanish leather, one of the best in the world, according to experts. Why it’s so good, because it’s handcrafted by artisans with exquisite quality and workmanship in mind. All materials used and being produced locally and the manufacturing techniques are eco-friendly, making for minimal impact on the environment.

That means you’re not looking like an egocentric rich boy while taking your iPad from the Piel Frama’s enclosure. The case itself is called Cinema because of the iPad stand function that allows you to watch movies on the go and also work by inclining the iPad at a lower angle, good for typing. The case is of Agenda type, with a magnetic enclosure, so nothing here to break. The interior lining is also made from soft leather. Additionally you have a document compartment and Piel Frama delivers a free DermaPad Clip Pen. This is one of the best deals here if you’re seeking a balance between price and luxury.

Tuff Luv is one of the most exquisite luxury iPad cases manufacturers that manages to balance price and quality in an elegant manner. Materials used are all high grade tuff genuine cow hidel leather. Even the interior lining is made from soft smooth non-abrasive leather that ensures the iPad case is not scratched during use. The Saddleback finish of this particular case gives it a vintage look, like it comes from the Wild Wild West.

But the leather used by Tuff-Luv is just half of the story, with the patented Integrated multi-viewTM stand feature technology being the other half. This multi-view does one important thing: adjusts the screen in five angles between 20 and 70 degrees, allowing you to make the screen face you in the best way to watch movies, browse the web or type long documents on the iPad’s excellent virtual keyboard. One other feature worth mentioning for this luxury iPad case is the secure Tuff-flap that makes sure the iPad is hold tight in place when traveling.

If you’re looking for something less expensive you can get the Tuff-Luv Napa Leather case cover, made from genuine Nappa leather (used in the Auto industry for premium luxury sedans). It will cost you 49.99$.

Aligata Nippon hand made leather case – 69$ iPad 2 compatible

Aligata is not your traditional iPad luxury leather case manufacture, mainly because it’s not backed up by long years of tradition in manufacturing leather. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth considering, because it also uses the manual method of building the case with handmade stitches. This gives it a distinctive vintage look and the feel of an original product, not a mass produced one.

What I like most about Aligata is the way they warn you that this product is not meant to be the perfect fit for your iPad, so it always exists the possibility it won’t fit perfectly the tablet. This kind of sincerity makes me recommend all Aligata cases and envelopes (those are the main luxury iPad cases they make), available in a multitude of colors: Dark Chocolate, Milk Tea, Nippon, Nude Beauty (what an ‘exciting’ name) and the Perfect Black and some classic case/stand models: Black Espresso, Dark Chocolate, Nippon, Nude Beauty and Perfect Black.

The price is not bad either for this kind of slipcase portfolio luxury iPad case.

Vaja Special Edition Mamut Suela Brown – 325$

You might be thinking that buying a 300 dollars case for iPad is madness. Wait till you hear why this case costs so much: it’s made from full grain Argentinian cow leather, with hasn’t been altered in any way. Vaja is also stating that you won’t find a leather like this, that’s so strong, with such a textures and aroma (yeap, they’re talking about the smell). Add to that the fact that it can be cleaned very easy of the smallest dust particles and you also have a non-allergic product.

As of the case itself, the Vaja Special Edition Mamut Suela Brown is an agenda type of case, that covers the whole case of the iPad, including the screen. The front part can be detached and attached to the back via a black leather grip. All ports remain accessible, including the charge/sync one. Make sure to follow the instructions provided by Vaja to keep the leather intact for longer. I bet you would want to do that with a premium case that cost more than half the price of the iPad.

Ah, the waiting period!

One more thing before jumping into the first shop to get your luxury iPad case: because most of them are hand mare you’ll have to wait a few days or even weeks till they make them by hand. So time is another thing you must pay to get one of those gorgeous luxury/premium cases for iPad. I say they’re worth it.
