Cygnett [Twitter], based in Melbourne, recently sent us a few samples of their iPad accessories and we are simply blown away by their stylish and snazzy products. Make no mistake - although they were one of the first manufacturers to bring accessories to the iPad worldwide, they have not rushed the job. Cygnett have not only managed to design a variety of sleek cases to suit different purposes, but also created accessories which ultimately protect the iPad incredibly well. If you have an iPad and have yet to purchase a case, cover or sleeve, then keep on reading - we're giving them away for
free.
There are four cases/sleeves currently offered by Cygnett. The Cygnett Lavish iPad Case ($69.95), which comes in black, is a soft micro-suede book-style case. Despite its slim shape, its exterior is solid, providing decent protection against drops and bumps. Suitable for any professional who is frequently on the move, this leather-look and feel case is perfect to hold with documents or to slide into a briefcase. For a more chic appeal, the Glam ($69.95) book-style case is perfectly and undoubtedly an eye-opener. Its high-gloss look, coupled with its soft suede interior is a fine design ideal for anyone who wants a case which stands out. Both the Glam and Lavish cases have horizontally-opening reinforced covers and rear magnetic closures. These premium cases are portable and very professional, while cleverly disguising your iPad. At time of writing (June 2010), both cases do not feature an opening for the volume controls.
If you are after a simple yet practical solution to protecting your iPad, the Cygnett SecondSkin ($39.95) is, literally, a second skin. Its slim design, perfectly moulded to fit your iPad, is reinforced to protect your iPad on any surface with its ridges support design. If you are conscious about a bulky or heavy case, then the SecondSkin is recommended. The SecondSkin comes in black or transparent. The Cygnett Agenda ($54.95) is a sleeve which allows the most protection if you are frequently on the move. This sleeve has a neoprene inner lining and a stlish embossed exterior. The sleeve does not allow access to the iPad while its placed inside, ensuring that your iPad is not exposed to any scratches while on the go. If you're willing to slide the iPad in and out everytime you want to use it, the Agenda sleeve is recommended.
