Apple Ipad Leather & Felt Wool Sleeves

[urbanwrist]

We have been hard at work expanding our product line. These are some of our newest Ipad Leather & Wool sleeves we have designed. Some are made from veg tan leather which has been hand rubbed & tooled, while others are made from Latigo. All cases are cushioned with a Felt Wool interior for a secure and comfortable fit. An Apple Ipad will sleep like a baby.

Hope everyone is having a great day.

I really like the patterns and coloring on your Ipad sleeves. I am trying to make a sleeve for an ipad for a christmas gift but am not sure of what the measurements should be. I dont mean I want your pattern or anything. I am just not sure how much bigger to make the case than the Ipad. Thanks!

Hey Menolly,

Thanks for the compliment, really appreciate it. In terms of the added space we usually add around 1/4 to each side for the ipad to give it a bit of breathing room.

In your case it all depends on the type of leather / material you are going to use and how thick it is. We actually did a few testers before we got it right for the styles / designs we wanted to come out it.

But start of with 1/4 on each side that should work for you.

Some good looking sleeves & holders Joe. Checked out your website too, some nice work there too.

Looks like we're neighbors as well, I work near 8th & Fig.

For Menolly & others - if you're looking to make ipad, kindle, etc. holders as a repeating project, check out ebay. There are a bunch of folks there that sell dummy units. I have one for the iPad that I use for measurements & pictures, much cheaper than buying the real thing (they're about $30) and it doesn't matter if I scratch it or get it wet. Here's one I've used and was happy with: http://stores.ebay.c...BestMart?_rdc=1

Very cool! Love the colors.

Thanks Spinner and no way .. 8th and Fig is right up the street from us, just a few blocks away. Yeah Menolly, like Spinner said check out ebay to get some dummy / display units for some of these accessories. We have a mixture of both, so I just buy the samples to save money and not worry about breaking / scratching and some I buy legit as I use them for personal use.

Thanks Particle, do you have any work of yours which we may see?

I've really only focused on holsters, but would like to make leather boxes, bags, cases, etc, but just haven't gotten around to it.. Last year, my mom asked me to make a leather box for her to store her genealogy research paperwork in, but I've been to busy keeping up with holster orders to try anything else. I've posted a bunch of photos to the holster section of this forum, or you can check out my website in my signature.

Thanks! Looking back at your site, your coloring is simply awesome. You've chosen great colors, and they have such a warm, rustic feel to them. Can I ask what type dyes you're using, and how you're applying them?

Thanks Spinner, and believe it or not, we use Fiebing's dye the same one's available at Tandy's or any shoe repair store.
