Gucci dresses the iPad

Earlier this week, it was announced that Gucci launched new smartphone cases. Now the luxury fashion house has decided to expand and is introducing a new case for the iPad.

The Italian house follows in the footsteps of Louis Vuitton. They are the first two brands to offer a case to hold this new technological marvel by Apple.

Gucci’s iPad case was designed by its creative director, Frida Giannini. There are three different models, one in patterned canvas, one in neoprene and one in black leather. All are embossed with the brand’s monogram. Each has a flap closure which aims to limit the amount of pressure put on the iPad screen.

The inside of the case, meanwhile, is in suede, which is supposed to help keep the screen clean and, of course, protect it.

iPad cases by Gucci will be available in brand boutiques on June 15. The case can also be pre-ordered online at gucci.com.
