Now many of you have probably have already seen or heard about the DODOcase as it has swept across the internet since it’s release last year. Or perhaps you may have even seen one of my tweets about the DODOcase, but for those of you that haven’t seen this work of art and craftsmanship felt it necessary to make a post to showcase it.

I have been rocking the standard Apple case since I bought my iPad, but after reading several articles and an itch to buy something new I felt it time to make the move. After pursuing through 7 different color choices for the DODOcase I decided to go with the red and made my purchase. One thing that I must point out that was confusing is on the front page of their website it says the iPad First Gen case is $49.95, but then you get to the page to buy it and the price is $59.95… not cool… Anyways I sucked my pride and entered my PayPal information. I opted for standard shipping since I was already a little leery of spending $60 on a case and to my surprise the case showed up within three days of my order! (shipping from San Francisco to Chicago)

After opening the box I was immediately impressed with how the case looked and felt. The craftsmanship on this case is truly a work of art as each case is assembled by hand by artisan bookbinders with the routed wood and book binding looking absolutely fantastic. My iPad fit extremely snugly and securely in the case and immediately I was struck on how awesome such a high tech piece of machinery looked right at home in something as organic as wood and book binding. Color me impressed.

In closing since I have received my DODOcase only a few days ago I have wanted to bring my iPad everywhere with me, it really just makes the iPad feel even more awesome that it already is. My only complaints about the case is that of course adds some extra weight to the iPad which gets a bit cumbersome after a extended period of holding it.

If you have an iPad or iPad2 I highly recommend dropping the money on one of these handcrafted cases as they are truly worth the $59.95. (Protip: You will be asked upon checkout if you want to send out a TWEET or Facebook message for an extra $5 off)

The DODOcase is a case that not only protects your iPad from the elements it really adds to the look and feel of the iPad.

Throwboy pillows comes from the mind of a gentleman named Roberto. They create unique pillows that really capture the spirit of what computers have become to us as individuals and the attachments we have to certain programs. As they state on their website “We know your computer is more than a tool. It’s a constant companion, a friend. A gateway to the great heights of “risqué.” The hub to your very life and existence. But we think it should be more. It should be snuggled close to you as you sleep and clutched tightly in your clammy hands during that especially gruesome scene in The Ring. And, since polycarbonate and aluminum hardly lend themselves to cuddly-comfort, we’ve got the solution.” having said all of that their pillows are created out of quality matierals; they’re hand crafted pillows filled with polyester and one hunderead percent fleace.

As of now they have a three lines of pillows. One set of pillows that represents most of the programs you would find in the “ilife” suite and in the near future they will begin their text pillows. They have also just recently released a line of Halloween inspired pillows, which are my favorite! You can order an individual pillow for twenty nine dollars or you can purchase in sets which can save you some coin!

The pillows themselves measure roughly 9″ x 11″ so if you plan on taking a nap on them they might be a bit small, but as far as a decorative pillow goes they have hit a home run. If your a huge Apple fan boy, or even just like unique and interesting wares for your house,
