Talk Techie To Me:

Wear Your Cork on Your Sleeve

Contributed By: Heidi Atwal

If you’re lucky enough to own the techie wonder that is the iPad, you probably coddle and care for it as you would a small child. There are a plethora of cases to choose from for the compact device, but none quite as environmentally sound as Matt & Nat‘s Otis sleeve. Its outer is made of blue- and beige-swirled cork and its faux-suede lining of 100% recycled bottles, a resilient combination that will protect your iPad from knocks and damage. An exterior pocket offers additional storage for slim miscellany that you want to keep nearby, whether USB stick or the business cards you collect as you’re networking your way through the work week. While the case was designed to shelter one of the most impressive man-made creations of our age, its exterior screams “all-natural,” stylishly flaunting the innovative edge of green technology.
