The iPad has been out for less than a month and it has already spawned a crystal-encrusted version as well as the world’s first iPad DJ. Steve Jobs is no stranger to the creation of hype—sending the iPad well on its way to becoming the latest indispensible gadget we never knew we could live without. Everyone is scrambling to get a piece of the pie, including Dooney & Bourke—whose practical, appealing and casual iPad covers offer an aesthetic option for protecting your latest iGadget.

In primary colors like mustard, navy and bright red, the soft cover with leather straps looks as demure as a schoolbook, looking right at home in an undergrad’s backpack as it would in the office (and at $65 on Dooney.com, they’re somewhat universally affordable). When technology has the ability to infiltrate the fashion world, you know it’s come along way.
