I’ve been testing out some covers for digital devices. You know, something stylish and distinctive that gives your digital gear some extra protection.

These are some very distinctive iPhone 4 sleeves from Fabrix Cases.

Fabrix Cases have heaps of stylish eye-catching designs for other phone models too, and soft cases for compact cameras and fabric laptop sleeves (which I reviewed here some months ago). When buying covers for iPhones, makes sure you buy for either iPhone 3 or iPhone 4! As I discovered, there is a very small, but important difference in the size. Make sure you get the right one!

Fabrix Cases also make a very sexy Booklet Case for the iPad (below). This one is in Black Faux Leather. But there’s also a very nice Tan Leather-feel one. I love how…executive…this cover looks and feels.

However, I don’t actually own an iPad, so I met a friend in a city cafe to test out the cover with his iPad. My friend has recently carried his iPad in a variety of cases all over South America on holiday (so he is pretty experienced with iPad covers).

He declared this one to be good looking, practical, compact, and noted that the hole in the case for the usb connection port was big enough to take even oversized usb sticks.

And this is a laptop sleeve made from real leather (below), just something a bit more lux and stylish than usual. It’s called the  Par Avion manila envelope design, from BagsnPacks.

It fits perfectly, looks great and stops the laptop from being bumped and scratched up too much. It’s like a perfectly fitting leather glove, a really nice texture contrast to the cool, hard metal of the laptop.

Enjoy your last minute Christmas shopping!
