Twelve South Introduces BookBook for iPad Pro

by

Twelve South today debuted a new version of its popular BookBook case, this time designed to fit Apple's 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Made from high-quality leather, the BookBook, for those unfamiliar, is designed to look like a classic book, offering protection for the iPad while also concealing it. It's handcrafted and carefully distressed so each BookBook has a unique look.

The BookBook for iPad Pro features two hardback covers to protect the iPad while traveling, and it has a built-in storage pocket to hold an Apple Pencil or stylus. Dual zippers keep it closed and a soft microfiber protects the iPad's screen.

When in use, a kickstand inside the cover of the BookBook can be arranged at an ideal angle for writing, drawing, and painting, plus there's a second cover angle that turns it into a hands-free "presentation mode" for watching videos and displaying artwork.


Twelve South is offering the BookBook for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro starting today, while a 9.7-inch version will be coming in the near future. The BookBook is priced at $99.99 and can be purchased from the Twelve South website.

These cases are just tacky. I don't know what the appeal of making a new iPad look like an old book is.

To me, this would make a better sleeve. As a case, especially one where the user is supposed to keep the iPad Pro inside, this is a bit awful.

Not like Twelve South at all. It looks more awkward to use this than a rMacbook.

As a sleeve ONLY, I'd buy it.

Especially one with a title like Book Book... unless, of course, that easily gives it away as a fake book containing a very expensive device. ;)
Yes, because every band of thieves rummaging through your house are looking at the bookshelf and coffee table and reading the book titles.

:cool:

The appeal being that people generally don't steal old books.

RIP, MacBook Ultra

Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name. The long-rumored "iPhone Ultra" ended up being named iPhone Duo, so speculation that Apple...
