Editor's Rating 

It happened to me three times on the first day. Setting down my iPad 3 encased in the Out of Print book tablet case , and its unique “The Great Gatsby” cover art was quick to draw the attention of a colleague. The conversations were incredibly similar. “Wow, great book,” that unsuspecting acquaintance would say. “Open it up,” I’d suggest to be treated with the same pleasantly-surprised expression three times over. And each person walked away impressed with a clever idea well executed. Indeed, the idea behind this tablet case for fans and its design are brilliantly done. Beginning with the genuine clothbound cover – no cheap cardboard and plastic finish here – evokes both the style and the durability of early 20th-century print. This durability also offers solid protection from drops while sealing the tablet in nicely. And the tablet’s camouflaged appearances make it ideal for storing on shelves and carrying in backpacks or tablet bags. In the iPad model we tested, all cutouts are perfectly placed. Some users might initially be concerned with lack of external cutout for the tablet’s speaker, but Out of Print has designed the internal rubber frame to allow for perfect sound to emanate with no loss of quality.

Pros

• Close fitting protection
• Excellent tactile 'hand-feel'
• Optional monogramming

Overall: OKAY

The Out of Print eBook Jacket is certainly one of the most interesting and exciting tablet cases ever released. Few other book-style tablet cases can compete with its distinctive looks and design for protection, period. In the end, we see this as a best case scenario for the iPad-toting bookworms.
