Louis Vuitton is coming out with the ultimate luxurious accessory for Apple's much-loved new iPad – cases covered in the famed French fashion house's signature canvas. The sleek, simple sleeve-style sheath will be available in both Vuitton's classic monogram pattern and the more modern Damier Graphite checkerboard. Priced at about $365 apiece and set to be available in 2011, the cases are only a little less expensive than the iPad itself, but certainly lend it a sizable dose of style. And they're still cheaper then the handstitched leather versions my colleague Rigel Celeste wrote about last month. As British GQ notes, the Vuitton cases lend the device the "feel of a lightweight, ultra-portable attaché case - appropriate given that it is superseding your offline files and folders, [and] also gives your iPad some much-needed protection."

LV did the right thing of jumping in and making a few bucks of the iPad launch. The iPads are good show and a LV case close the deal.

For all you sanctimonious judgmental sackcloth wearers out there, people spend money on what they want and if its honestly earned they won't give a flying fig if you don't like it. LV has a history and the patterning is part of that history, people who bang on about label culture assuming people buy this stuff just because of a label are just as unitelligent as the few that do. If you have no idea what the label means or where it came from, to those who take the time to learn your no better than a sad wag yourselves but without the style. Gucci, Cartier, Mont Blanc and many others have a rich and fascinating history, before you slag them off at least learn what your talking about first......now you can go off and eat your lentils and tie die some more cheesecloth.

ipad got so many problems,but still can't stop people buying.
Why?
I guess just outlooking attract many,and some Personalize setting make you more comfortable.
Specially,it never similar with any others,so if you are conditioned to use Apple stuff,you are in.
