How many of you have been searching for the "perfect" tablet sleeve, case, pouch? Well, to me perfect means it's exactly what you want. Everything in the place you want it, made out of the leather you want, not too bulky and really different. Looks like you just found it! I have been carrying an iPad 2 ever since they came out. Have tried every case and sleeve I can think of and although many are close, none gave me exactly what I wanted. Here's my perfect sleeves description: Very thin, light weight, needs to hold my iPad, a small notebook, a pen and a stylus, a few business cards and a file folder. Thats it. Don't need all of the other stuff. I need to be able to pull this out of my main bag and head to a meeting without making sure I have everything. An additional item you will note is the leather file folder in the background. There are times I need more than one file and sometimes its thick. So, I'll grab the leather file folder (that matches by the way) and off I go. This case and leather folder are both made of 2-3oz. tooling leather so its very thin and supple yet strong enough to protect my iPad. In this case I elected not to line it as lining only adds bulk. Instead I sueded the back side of the leather to add softness and to protect the contents. The edges of both the sleeve and leather folder are rounded and burnished adding a nice polished edge to them. The sleeve also contains a removable divider containing three slots for a few business cards. The divider is designed to separate the compartments for the iPad and notebook. Is it absolutely necessary? No, but that would be your call. Remove the divider and the sleeve becomes even thinner. You do lose the business card slots but that's not a problem on my end. I elected not to add any snaps or fasteners as again they add bulk. As well I don't want anything hard on the sleeve to press against my iPad while it's in my main bag. With everything that I carry in the sleeve it is less than 1" thin. Empty it is 3/8" thin. As far as other dimensions it is 13" wide by 8 1/4" tall. I increased the width in order to carry a standard size file folder in a pouch on the back. This extra width also allows me to carry a stylus and a pen. You can as well carry a small charger and sync cable inside if you prefer. Now, the key to this is fairly simple. If you would like anything different about it, no problem. Just let me know and I can make it however you'd like it. The leather file folder is fairly simple and made out of 2-3oz. tooling leather as well. I have also sueded the inside to add softness and to maintain thinness. The leather file folder is 13" by 9 3/4". Additionally it should be noted that the color of the sleeve and file folder will age to the color of the desk that the pictures were taken on. If you prefer a different color I can by all means accommodate. If you prefer the leather to stay its natural shade I can accomplish that as well by utilizing a high end waterproofing finish. The finish on these pieces are hand applied and rubbed Mink Oil. Base price as you see it is $225.00. The file folder is $40.00. Your perfect tablet case has arrived. DH

Dragonthorn Leatherworks manufactures custom/bespoke leatherwork, one piece at a time, one stitch at a time. Our pieces are unique and attention to detail is paramount. I specialize in smaller leather items but build just about anything as long as it is important to you. Bags, briefs, cellphone cases, tablet cases, guitar straps, holsters, knife sheaths and such… You may order any of the pieces shown on Maker-Marketplace.com as well as any item shown on my website at https://dragonleather.net. I can make any item as you see it, customize it to your wishes or we can create something completely unique. Take a look at our work, give your ultimate leather dream some thought, then let me know, we'll build something special together.

Dragonthorn Leatherworks has been and remains as one of the premier global custom leather smiths since 1999. We have accomplished this through extreme attention to detail, world class customer service and, obviously, strong knowledge and skill. We are not inexpensive, nor do we rush through a project simply to get one off the bench in order to start another. True custom leatherwork is very unique and more of an art than a craft although both elements are combined in our work. Our communication levels during the construction of a project remain a strong suit of ours and may border on “way too much information”. However, in order to ensure that a customer receives precisely what they wish for it is necessary to communicate on a consistent basis and make you feel part of the team. I invite you to read the column "What is Custom Leatherwork” to better understand what custom leatherwork truly is. The brief article can be found on my website at this web address: https://dragonleather.net/custom-leatherwork/ Additional reviews may be read at https://dragonleather.net/testimonials/

Please feel free to look around the website and enjoy the many items we have developed for clients around the world. Take a read at the testimonials to see what these customers have to say about our work and working with us. Give us a shout if/when you have an idea you’d like to bounce off of us. You may be surprised at what we come up with. Thanks, Dave
