If you’ve been following technology news for the past year or so, you should know one thing—it’s all about the iPad. Of course, you’ll need a proper case for your expensive tablet. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of some of the best luxury iPad cases available. These aren’t the most expensive iPad cases in the world, but they’ll certainly do in a pinch.
NewerTech iFolio – $129.99
This handcrafted Brazilian leather case will not only hold your iPad, but also documents, cards and even a pen, stylus or similar device. The left side features a hard back to protect your documents while the right side protects your iPad with non-marring, double-stitched leather straps. Best of all, the zipper is a “genuine YKK pull tab.” Get excited.
Piel Frama iPad Cases – $140-$225
Each of Piel Frama’s premium iPad cases features either a magnetic or snap closure system, a document compartment and a soft leather lining. Be sure to check out their high quality cowskin, ostrich and crocodile cases.
Vaja iVolution Top Crystal – $350
Vaja’s premiere iPad case takes a full thirty-five days to craft by hand. In that time, they’re creating a great leather case with access to all the necessary ports—and icing it up. The completely detachable front cover of this case features an understated design that is tastefully decorated with glittering Swarovski crystals.
Louis Vuitton iPad Cases – $350
All you need to know is they’re Louis Vuitton. Got it?
Oscar de la Renta Degrade Python iPad Clutch – $390
Is this iPad case made, as the name suggests, with python skin? It certainly looks like it is. It features an ultra suede lining and snap closure. A yellow variant is also available.
Burberry of London Embossed Check Patent Leather iPad Cover – $475
Burberry’s zippered case features an interior pocket for papers and a metal plaque with the Burberry logo. The case can be purchased in black, white or yellow.
Yves Saint Laurent Patent-leather iPad Case – $595
This black leather case is stamped with the stitch-detailed logo of design house Yves Saint Laurent. The interior is lined with beige suede and the case features snap fasteners.
Orbino Padova Brown Crocodile Skin iPad Case – $689
Orbino’s premium hand stitched flip case features a magnetic closure, a brushed metal home button and can be ordered in a variety of colors or materials, including the pictured (and expensive) brown crocodile skin.
Chanel iPad Case – $1,555
This luxury iPad case features Chanel’s hallmark quilted stitching and, of course, the Chanel logo on the zipper’s pull tab. The case was originally called “mallette en cuir noir,” which means “black leather briefcase.”
Tod’s Alligator Skin Covers – $4,900
This iPad case is handmade in Italy by luxury goods firm Tod’s. They use the finest alligator skin to craft the case and it is available in blue, brown and tan.

Why would anyone spend $350 on Louis Vuitton designed iPad SLEEVE?!? It's not even an iPad case, it's a damn stupid, ugly and non-functional piece of crap. For only $30 you can buy fantastic Macally (http://ipadcaseden.com/ipad-cases/macally-ipad-book-case/) which is far ahead of LV or even Vaja!
You're obviously not into fashion or even style!!!
Seriously? The fashion part shouldn't matter. The thing that matters is protection, and the iPad could fall out of the sleeve, but if you have a case it won't fall out.
Well I think the Swarovski iPad cases from DSstyles should be in this list.
the Gucci iPad case is $250 so the ugly Newertech folio should be taken off the list.
add teh burberry case for ipad , chic and nice
what about the Capulet cases? http://www.capuletlondon.com/ipad2 ? Original designs and you're not just paying for the LV label!
I actually do agree that case seems a little pointless considering it could fall out the other side. But I also do agree with Sailfish. You people probably have no clue on fashion.
