Neil has been struggling to keep up with technology for years, preferring a more analog lifestyle over the virtual world. All that changed when he dove in head first with his 10 inch iPad pro for reviewing drawings on site.
Panicked that he might not resist the urge to use his tablet as a hammer on slow internet days, I fashioned a protective cover for it and tossed a logo on it just to see if we could.
We created a felted cork for the project, which yielded some really interesting possibilities, including being a great foil for laser engraving. It’s firm, somewhat rigid, but with a pliability that allowed it to flow through a sewing machine for the final stitching.
It can’t compete on price to manufacture, but it sure makes up for it in style!
