Vers Audio can almost be considered as the IKEA of the gadget world, the big difference being that with most Vers products, assembly is not required. Past creations from Vers have included handcrafted wooden casings for alarm clocks, iPods and of course their specialty, audio speakers.
This time around, with the April 3rd US release date imminent, Vers has set their site on the Apple iPad. The Vers iPad case is handcrafted from solid hardwood and bamboo and features reinforced steel, offering an extra level of protection from accidental external bumps and nicks while the iPad resides on a soft scratch resistant internal lining.
In many ways, the case design does give the Apple tablet that wooden digital picture frame appearance. The Vers case is also top loading allowing for the easy insertion and removal of the iPad. There are also appropriately placed openings for both the volume control and the 30-pin connector.
Optionally, there’s also a wooden stand offering the ability to type on an external keyboard or go hands free while watching your favorite movie.
The Vers wood iPad case will retail for $79.99.
