The Recycled iBook iPad Sleeve is Mactastic

Gary Katz is a Mac-loving modder who has created the most ironic and eco-friendly iPad carrying case ever in the Recycled iBook iPad Sleeve. With the help of his son, Katz gutted the inside of an old iBook and refurbished it to be a comfortable and secure carrying case.
The inside of the Recycled iBook iPad Sleeve is lined with felt and the Apple logo has been hollowed out to create a cool Apple-shaped porthole that lets you catch a glimpse of the iPad's screen. Designs like this are great even if you aren't a fan of the house that Jobs built, as they encourage upcycling your e-waste.
