Sun, 10 Jun 2012 Twelve South BookBook for iPad review
A novelty iPad case for book lovers
- Manufacturer: Twelve South
- Pros: Unique look; good protection; high quality
- Cons: Bulky; elastic strap covers status bar; not very reliable stand
- Price: £69.99
- Star rating:
The BookBook for iPad from Twelve South is a novelty case that provides good protection but isn’t particularly practical. It adds significant weight and takes up more room in your bag since it's a bit bigger than the iPad, but the fun, antique tome appearance adds a quirky style to your tablet.
The distressed look helps disguise bumps and scratches and it certainly feels durable. The zip can be done up from either end and the iPad is held inside the case by two bottom hooks and an elastic strap across the top. The strap can sometimes cover the status bar when using it in portrait mode, covering the time, signal and battery, which is a little annoying.

The BookBook can be used as a stand to hold your iPad in various landscape angles, suitable for typing and FaceTime. The way this works is by folding the front cover back and attaching a cord to it to hold the iPad in position at the angle you want, but it isn't particularly sturdy.

The BookBook is also available for the MacBook Pro. To read our review, click here.
