As far as iPad cases go, you can't get much simpler or classier than Saddleback Leather's iPad Air sleeve. Made from one solid piece of full grain leather, this sleeve can snugly accomodate an iPad Air or iPad Air 2, and will likely fit future tablets that fall into a similar size category. Which is good, since Saddleback's leather is guaranteed to last 100 years.

In the meantime your iPad Air will be protected from extreme heat or cold, and even cushioned a bit on the sides by the sleeve's 1/8" stitched seam. Not to mention how awesome it will look.

Comes in black, chestnut (pictured above, left), dark coffee brown (pictured above, right), or tobacco. $59 at Saddleback.
