Taking inspiration from the Griffin Elan Portfolio and the Moleskin notebook, here's my attempt at an iPad case...
Materials 1
Fun foam for iPad backing and canvas substitution for book binding hard card.
Materials 2 & 3
Hair bands to hold iPad. These hair bands have a rubber backing that helps secure the iPad.
Not pictured: xacto, spray mount, thread, needle, paper, book cloth.
