Moleskine Launching iPhone & iPad Cases

I’m not exactly a case guy, but I can spot a well-crafted product when I see one. And when it comes to Moleskine, the legendary sleek notebook, you can bet the product it’s going to be cleverly crafted and top-notch.

As far as iOS devices go, soon you’ll be able to wrap your iPhones and iPads inside a custom (and official) Moleskine case: together with a spot for your device of choice, you’ll also get a Moleskine notebook to carry along while faving tweets uncontrollably in Twitterrific.

The features and style of both Covers are those of a classic Moleskine notebook: sleek rounded corners, strong elastic band, and the legendary smooth black cover. Inside, a lighter suede lining protects the electronic device against impact and scratches, alongside a Volant notebook with plain pages. The Smartphone Cover is mainly conceived to be used with Bluetooth, headphones or loud speaker.

Think about it: you can jot down to-do items quickly with pen and paper and re-enter them in OmniFocus later. Or, you can write down quick thoughts, scan them with Prizmo for iPhone and tweet them right away by uploading the screenshots to CloudApp. The possibilities are endless - if you think a Moleskine for iPhone could ever be your thing.

I’ll be getting one. Preorders on Amazon. [Engadget via Moleskine]
