It almost seems sacrilege to destroy one of these legendary notebooks but designer John Chandler manages to break away and create some of his very own DIY Moleskine iPad mini cases.
For those who love the sound of pens scribbling across the soft pages of the legendary notebooks but cannot part with the convenience of technology, the DIY iPad protector is an easy way to merge the two worlds. With some simple tools like ribbon, adhesive, a sharp knife or blade and some glue-dissolving solution, John Chandler demonstrates how to create affordable Moleskine iPad mini cases at home, provided that Moleskine owners are willing to part with these beautifully bound notebooks. While this task may seem easy at first, it's not hard to cut through the cover of these notepads, which may incur some unfortunate extra costs to purchasing additional ones.
