12 Days of Travel Gear Giveaways: Win a Timbuk2 Scuba Sleeve For iPad!
By Amiee Maxwell | Permalink | 30 comments | December 15th, 2010And the winner is Benjamin C!
Timbuk2 is a crazy fun company born from the bike messenger scene in San Francisco. Well known for its messenger bags and urban adventure accessories, Timbuk2 compares their bags to a Chinese finger trap – they just stick.
The Scuba Sleeve is Timbuk2’s new neoprene sleeve for the iPad. Called the Scuba Sleeve because it fits snug like a wetsuit, the stretchy neoprene case fits the iPad to a T. The faux fur interior lining is super velvety soft and will keep your iPad comfy and scratch-free.
In case your iPad is out of battery and you need some navigation help, the Scuba Sleeve conveniently features the San Francisco street grid. The case is also TSA friendly there’s no need to remove it from the sleeve when going through security.
Your iPad would also go well with their adorable Freestyle Netbook Messenger Bag, I’ve been lusting over it almost as much as an actual iPad.
