we always love a traditional book-like case for iPad, and here’s a latest from Pad & Quill: The Octavo for iPad 2. The Octavo for iPad 2 is touted to be the “slimmest design ever produced by Pad & Quill” and comes in three cloth colors, namely, Classic Red, Camden Blue and Field Green. the cover is of Italian bonded leather and the wrap around spine enables multiple viewing configurations. the case itself is made with lacquered 8 Baltic birch veneers. though, we would favor bamboo like the DODOcase item but the Octavo sports one feature that the book-like DODOcase doesn’t has: a hole for the rear facing camera. however, how well does the hole actually works for the iPad 2 camera is altogether another matter.

as with previous Pad & Quill product, it features a red ‘bookmark’ to facilitate easy removal of your device from the case, also making the case look and feel like a real book. also featured in this new case is Pad & Quill patented sound channel. The Octavo for iPad 2 by Pad & Quill is available for pre-order on Pad & Quill website at $59.99 and for an additional $10 more, you get yourself an additional document pocket. i guess, the combination of handmade and leather doesn’t necessary need to cost a bomb. well, here’s the prove. The Octavo for iPad 2 by Pad & Quill will ship on the March 25th, 2011.
