got an ipad mini for my birthday from my sister, didn't really need one but since I ended my cellphone contract after it was up and is using work's blackberry for free. She thought I needed a "smart" device. Well, I got to really like the thing and was really using it as a e-reader / google maps/ media player. I didn't want to shell out the $50 for those fancy ipad covers/cases. So here's what I came up with. Found an old hardcover children's book from my childhood at my parents' house, some left over sponge foam, a bit of fleece cloth and duct tape. It's also safer to leave it around because no one would think there's an ipad inside.
