We might like vintage-style stuff here at Cosy Home but we also love gadgets and of course we want to keep our techy toys looking their best. Unfortunately, the cases and protectors are often just plain ugly. We’ve picked out some of the best iPad and Kindle covers to keep your gadgets in good nick and looking good.

Vintage leather book iPad case
This brilliant BookBook iPad case by Twelve South is designed to look exactly like a vintage book.
Not only does the leather book case provide a secure case for your technology, and work as a useful stand for when you’re using your iPad, it’s also a great way of keeping your iPad safe and secure at home.
Rather than leaving it lying around at night or when you go out (and you can’t take your iPad everywhere) you can pop it in the case and add it to a bookshelf – it will simply look like a hardback vintage book.
It’s a clever design and very realistic. Each leather case is hand distressed, so no two are exactly the same. The case has a zip around the outside for secure closure and has a suede lining inside.
The BookBook iPad case by Twelve South is available from Selfridges for £70.
Matching BookBook cases are also available for your iPhone (£50) and MacBook Air (£80). A great investment for security and peace of mind, and a wonderful homage to vintage books!
