High tech meets tradition in the needlepoint iPad case from Land’s End.

The sturdy sleeve is embellished with anchors, which gives it a nautical vibe and makes it a good choice for guys or gals. There’s an option for monogramming, should you desire the personal touch, dear chap.

While the case will protect your tablet from getting dinged while transporting  it from home to the Wifi cafe, this isn’t one of those cases you can use as a stand. Consider it a low-tech solution, an old school art form that will keep your iPad comfy, cozy and safe.

The case is currently sale priced at $39.99.

Like the look? You also can get a plaid needlepoint case for your Kindle or Nook e-reader.
