Are you sitting down? You'll have two weeks in Devon in England, in a 600 year old cottage, with one or two of your friends. Your iPad handle will be waiting for you on the kitchen table. Prospect Cottage was a dairy barn 600 years ago, and is finished to a high standard, with a hot tub in the garden, an Aga in the kitchen, a river nearby to walk along, and miles of country lanes, just three miles from the sea. We can provide the cottage (any time between July and December, 2012) and you provide your transportation to get there.
Estimated delivery: Jul 2012

I received mine yesterday, and am loving it. It's a shame that the project was canceled here! I am still very curious as to why it happened.
Creator Jr Gomez on June 8, 2012
I received mines today and it is amazing...I love it thanks cate!
Creator Jr Gomez on May 31, 2012
Sorry guys wrong address below its actually grandesign.co And cates email is cate@grandesign.co order yours before they are all gone.
Creator Jr Gomez on May 31, 2012
Granddesign.co guys check it out

Ok I just checked my email and cate sent me a response that kick starter gave her no reason as to why they cancelled funding. I recommended that she put up a way for us to pay for it directly through her website she did ask me to post her email address on here but since the email was at one in the morning I just want to verify that she is 100% sure she wants her email placed on here. So guys don't worry she didn't run out on us I'm thinking something happened with kick starters system. I believe that all of the handles are already made from what she told me in the email.

Their kickstarter accounts are gone.
Creator Leo S on May 30, 2012
What happened to the comment made by her husband? He said something about emailing her wife for the leather handle, and that comment seems to have been deleted/gone now.

@Jr Gomez. Please do. I am quite surprised that this project was suspended. It looked like funding was going well, with over a week to go.
Creator Jr Gomez on May 29, 2012
Yeah I just saw that too.im going to email her I'll post any updates on here.
Creator Jose zamarripa on May 29, 2012
Don't think there will be an update, the account has been deleted, dont know what happened
Creator Jr Gomez on May 29, 2012
Please update I really want this case.
Creator Jose zamarripa on May 29, 2012
It wasnt canceled, it was suspended by kickstarter.
Why? Does anybody know why?
Creator Michael Gardner on May 29, 2012
How come this project was canceled? I was looking forward to it.

Tique, I believe this will work with all ipads. Probably some similar sized android tablets (if there are any?) as well!
Creator Tique on May 26, 2012
You know if you own one of those old iPad 1s, or even if you don't have one yet... Imagine how much your spousal unit will admire you for buying an iPad because it wouldn't make sense to have a beautiiful leather handle and no iPad!
Creator hazli hazani on May 25, 2012
Okay. Just did my pledge. However only managed to scrap up about $40 as exchange rate are quite high. Anyway, fell in love with the product the minute i laid my eyes on it. Dreamt of having a leather for my ipad and now my dreams come true. Love tour video presentation as well. Great job!!!! Cant wait for mine to arrive...

Here I sit in my pool with my iPad. Would I trust this with any other case? Nope. But with my Handle, it feels so secure that I am not afraid of a lazy afternoon "surfing" in the pool.
Creator Gloria Preston on May 20, 2012
Just have to say to any iPad1 owners; don't worry, it fits! My iPad has been my constant companion since I purchased it (with the first wave of 3g iPads). I use it in my work to write, email and read, anywhere I am-- quite literally. I have a leather handle now, and all my 'issues' with carrying it around are gone. I flip it over to carry it in my bag, and flip it back when using it. Most of the time I just carry it around like an extension of my arm and hand. The front of it is protected when I lay it down by the leather corners which protrude just enough to hold it above any surface I place it down on. Thanks Cate!
Creator Eliza Eggert on May 17, 2012
I absolute love the elegant simplicity of this design! I truly hope you will get all of the backers you need to get funded and get things moving.
Creator Sue Loomis on May 11, 2012
Carey and I send our greetings to Robin, who lost Carey's dad in the Lafayette Square Mardi Gras and got him back with lots of beads. We want 2 handles so we don't have to fight over it. Thanks!

I loved the idea. We use iPads in my wound care centers around the country, and have always needed a handle system. I hope this might do the trick! I really loved the video, and appreciate the craftsmanship involved in the handle.
