Gear Diary Substrata Takes Wooden Cases to a Higher Level photo

Substrata is about to release one of the prettiest wooden cases I’ve yet seen; this one is not for the iPhone 4 however, it’s for the iPad.

I’ve gotta tell you — I’m a fan!

Substrata is releasing six new cases for the iPad 2, all handmade at our shop in Portland, Oregon. We have an update of our original iPad case design, revised for the iPad 2 and two entirely new designs heading into production now. We are taking orders, and our first batches of cases will finish up production near the end of April for shipping in early May.

Pricing begins at $85 for the Tabletop Case, but if you can — splurge on the drool-worthy Artisan Dual Stripe Case for $265!

They also have an upcoming MacBook Air 11″ case that looks out of this world! No info on pricing yet, however.

There’s nothing like beautiful wood wrapping your electronics, and these are some of the prettiest and most original covers I’ve seen. =)

I have had a fascination with all types of gadgets and gizmos since I was a child, beginning with the toy robot that my grandmother gave my brother - which I promptly "relieved him of" in 1973. I have long been captivated by devices that did anything interesting or served a unique purpose - however silly. I can't tell you how everything works – but I am known world-wide for using a product until I have a full understanding of what it does, what its limitations are, and if it excels in any given area...or not.
