Turn a Favorite Fleece into an iPad Case with The Great ReFleece — A Kickstarter Project

refleece1

After covering ReFleece last February PadGadget was so excited by this innovative product that we co-sponsored a giveaway for our readers. Founded by husband and wife team Sam Palmer and Jennifer Feller, ReFleece takes recycled bottles and old Patagonia jackets and turns them into stylish cases for the iPad, as well as a selections of other e-readers and tablets.

After founding ReFleece in 2012, Mr. Palmer and Ms. Feller have expanded, launching a Kickstarter project that lets a consumer send in an old, beat-up well-loved fleece. ReFleece works its magic, then sends the backer an iPad sleeve or other accessory made from his own item. Forget having your child’s baby shoes bronzed, why not turn that baby bunting you’ve saved for a decade into a case for an iPad or iPad mini?

Beyond Nickels and Dimes, More Change at the Check-out Thanks to the iPad

ipadpos

At PadGadget, we track how the iPad changes the ways people work and live.

I witnessed this change first hand last summer in Shelburne, VT, at Folino’s, an up-start wood-fired pizza joint that didn’t have a traditional cash register, just an iPad and Square to take credit card payments. It was the first time I signed a receipt with my finger, and I doubt it will be my last.

Today, AppShopper found a way back into the App Store with some major changes that will keep it from being “too similar.” Unfortunately, the company has chosen to launch it as an iPhone app, instead of optimized for the iPad.
