The leather crafters at Spain’s Piel Frama have been hard at it since the iPad 2 arrived. First we had the traditional folio case with magnetic closure, as we’ve seen previously on the first iPad. Then came the iMagnum (€90) which is essentially a leather cover for the back of the iPad with a colour range to match Apple’s Smart Covers. One of the most practical, though, is the Cinema (€130) which is based on the folio but incorporates a folding leather stand to make media viewing more relaxing.
Now comes the third option, a leather slipcase called the Unipur (€105). The iPad slides in for carrying but pull it out and you have a naked pad and can enjoy the full beauty of the device. The Unipur, like the iMagnum, is designed to accommodate a Smart Cover-equipped iPad 2. The Unipur is joined by the Pull, a cheaper leather slipcase with a tooled exterior at €70.
I’m a sucker for Piel Frama’s range of cases for the iPad and the iPhone and I really love the quality and appearance. As soon as you open the box and part the tissue paper you know you have a luxury item to enjoy. It’s just a pity Apple keep changing the size and shape of their iOS devices because Piel Frama quality gets expensive when you have to buy new every year.
