When Apple floods the market with another ingenious mainstream product, the launch guarantees two things. Firstly, it will be tremendously successful. Over 300,000 sold on the first day attests to that. Secondly, a plethora of accessories is going to follow very closely. The mobile device accessory market pulls in massive millions in sales annually and it is only logical that the big fashion houses will try to get a piece of the pie.
Louis Vuitton is usually very quick to follow suit with their own line of luxurious tech accessories. Like with the iPhone, LV now released their own variety of cases for the popular iPad. The Louis Vuitton iPad Cases are available in classic Monogram and Damier canvas flavors at a price of $366.
Personally, I am going to stick with the light $30 Apple case for my iPad. I can not justify paying nearly as much for a case as I paid for the hardware it is supposed to protect.
I like those cases better than the iPad.
Those are not consistent at all! The opening on top comes in different sizes for monogram and damier? Also, both could use a realignment of the logos… the monogram should have only two columns of LVs and the damier.. well.. just one “Louis Vuitton Paris” would be enough, IMHO! Then I guess I would be happy to have one in Damier Graphite! Sure I would have to buy the ipad afterwards.. ahah!
I agree, these seem a bit off. (fb)
Those are the official photos from LV, but I see the differences as well! I like the Damier Graphite too
I’m not saying otherwise Megs… I think those are either mockups or an early prototype (and I’m having “Next Generation iPhone Revealed” kind of flashbacks as I’m typing… people saying it could not be the final design and the discussion around details!).. Oh well.. Let’s just wait and see! 🙂
I agree about the logos, HPrince. (fb)
very nice love the concept. but definitely agree w/ you regarding the price of the protectant and the one being protected! (fb)
I have to agree w/Vlad. I’ll stick with the iPad case that opens like a book because I think it would be a pain in the toukus to have to slide the pad out every time I wanted to use. The “book” cover is just easier. (fb)
the damier version is pretty sweet! (fb)
it would be better if it were a case that could stay on and protect the ipad like the apple care or other similar ones… like these http://www.happyowlstudio.com/
I would definitely purchase the mono ipad case if it were in my budget and if I had an ipad. lol
I plan to get my husband one for his upcoming birthday but I am certain he would not be care about the case.
hi,
this very useful for official purpose.you con also use it for documents.its colour combination is very nice & its looking very formal.& really very descent.
I’m so sick of LV Monogram bags, I can’t stand it anymore, is everywhere, everyone has either a fake or a real Vuitton, or both. (with the classic monogram I mean, because I appreciate other Vuitton designs just as any other brand). Hence, I prefer the Damier canvas one. (fb)
Boring! Yawn! The Tumi holders are way cooler.
If I had some cold hard cash at hand then YES! I would def buy one 😉
When Hermes comes up with an IPad case that’s when I will consider buying the IPad.
I totally agree Oliana! Have you seen the new iphone cases at Hermes?
I would not spend that kind of money for a case. (fb)
Thhy have already stolen my first iPhone- It would hurt me double if I had to lose this expensive case as well.
will keep the Apple bubbly wrap (fb)
I don’t think I would by an iPad case that cost almost as much as the iPad itself. There’s just something… wrong about that. (fb)
Omg…. I need one.
Too expensive.. I’d rather use this money for a payment for a louis vuitton bag (fb)
Ugly as usual…
wtf if had the money i would spend it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =]
Like the thought but not the price. (fb)
Kind of pointless if it isn’t a form-fitting, in-use case. I had a hard time just holding onto my iPad until my Apple case arrived. Same reason why I passed on the iPhone case. Might as well slip the iPad into a Cabas Piano or other small bag if you must carry it in something LV.
Yeah, they’re nice, but if I bought one I wouldn’t be able to afford an iPad to go inside of it. : D
I could not buy a leather case to hold an IPad for the same price as the IPad that seems a little crazy, but if you can afford it than why not. I would rather spend money on my handbags to hold all my things that I can wear all the time. NO thanks. (fb)
its cute, but id defenitely rather get a bag instead of a case.
will definitely not spend that kind of money on an ipad case! (fB)
I have one of these for my iphone 🙂 it`s not authentic, but you can`t even tell. works for me
Way too pricy (fb)
I don’t own an iPad 🙁 (fb)
anyone knows when will it be launch?? or it is already available in lv stores?
For $366 the damn thing should be calfskin on the outside with a suede lining. NOT plastic. (I know, I know, it’s not plastic, it’s “vinyl-infused-Egyptian-cotton-canvas”…. It still feels like plastic on the outside.)
nice idea, looks very swish. Here’s some more if you’re interested: http://www.arrowvoice.com.au/blog/mobile/louis-vuitton-ipad-cover-do-i-want-it/
LV mades pretrry cases for iphone and ipad. But check http://www.luxaddiction.com for Swarovski crystal bling iphone cases. I Just can not take my eggs off those “””” BLING “””” cases! lol
if u think thats cool i had a LV handbag cake for my last bday and im 11 and then i got a lv lap top case and your sayn that 300$ is a lot my cake cost 400 not conting the tap top case!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forewarning: This case is crap. Once you get your iPad in, you may not be able to get it out. You can slide some duct-tape into the case and pull it out that way, but the case is useless.

Really good case
Honestly?! This iPad case wouldn’t be on the top of my things-to-do list, but if I had some extra money put away, I’d get one. I love ’em! lol Sorry guys, but I do! I mean you’ve got to carry ’em around in something right? Right? lol I’m also following on Twitter. ConVo_Info
i like the case, not sure if i would get this case for the ipad, i rather have a purse instead to carry the gadget in. (ipad)
sigh..
just like the iphone case, but bigger..
same style.
same print.
same old same old.
sorry LV..
