Preview: The New Premium Leather iPad Air Folio



MacCase readies new top of the line iPad cases for Apple latest offering

With the release of the new iPad Air in late October, Apple expanded it's tablet offerings with the new model receiving rave reviews. Immediately after it's release, MacCase began work on it's Premium Leather iPad Air Folio case.

A Brief History of MacCase iPad Cases-
When the original iPad was launched MacCase began working on several cases and bags to transport and protect the new tablet. The result of this effort was the dual designs of the Premium Leather iPad Sleeves, one horizontal, one vertical, a smaller iPad-scaled version of the critically acclaimed, customer lauded Premium Leather iPad Flight Jacket and what was to become the jewel in the crown, the Premium Leather iPad Folio. Visit the iPad cases page for more details on each.

The Folio was an all new design, unlike anything that MacCase had ever produced before: Much more complex, requiring more attention to detail, more inherent structure and precise engineering to make these iPad cases work. It was wrapped in a stitch perfect exterior that felt like an heirloom book.

The professional looking exterior design, the precise execution of the interior and the unsurpassed user experience allowed the MacCase Premium Leather Folio to become a favorite among industry leaders and executives. A long list of celebrities, power brokers and mover and shakers all walk into their meetings, take out their MacCase Premium Leather Folios, set them on the desk and get to work.

On to the Air Folio-
Getting to the new iPad Air case went smoothly due to the experience gained in designing the previous iPad cases, specifically the Folio. The single biggest element that needs to be created is the interior frame that holds the iPad Air itself. The frame needs to be extremely thin, yet incredibly strong and light. For this, MacCase uses an alloyed steel sheet that is stamped and then welded like a car fender, to create the frame. This method of construction is much more expensive and durable than say, covering some cardboard for the frame and hoping for the best. The result is a very thin, very light but very strong structure that will hold the iPad Air securely yet allow access to all ports and controls. This frame is then covered in black ultra suede so it virtually disappears providing a clean, distraction free user experience.


As the interior is being completed, hides are carefully chosen for their soft hand and consistent quality for the exterior. Each panel is sewn, by hand, one at a time. The curved panels making up the exterior design are designed that way to purposely show off the exquisite quality and care that goes into each piece. You cannot put a white stitch on black leather, especially on a curved panel, unless every stitch is perfect. The new iPad Air Folio carries on this tradition.

The new iPad Air Folio case is scheduled to arrive in late Dec. The company will be taking pre-orders for the new Air case shortly before the product is scheduled to be in stock on this page. The color options will be pebble grain Black or the iconic distressed Vintage leather. If you need something immediately, both the iPad Sleeves and the iPad Flight Jackets are compatible with the new iPad Air.
