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.
