Orbino, makers of premium technology cases, announced today that it

handmade in Orbino?s workshop. The case sports a tailored design which
completely covers the iPad 2 ? both front and back, and offers a
variety of high-performance features including:

? Protective rigid leather flap with invisible magnetic closure which
also activates the iPad 2?s smart cover technology, turning the screen
on and off

? Complete protection of the iPad 2 ? both front and back

? Orbino?s trademark hinged flap which doubles as viewing pedestal in
both the horizontal and vertical orientation

? Brushed metal home button

? Unique form fitting design stitched entirely by hand with premium
high tensile waxed thread

? Hand lacquered 4 coat feathered edging

? Cut out for iPad dock connector, volume control, speakers, screen
rotation lock, headphones, and both front and rear cameras

? Removable metal typing stand

? Each case is proudly 100% produced by a single artisan in our own
workshop in Italy.
