Plenty of sleeves can outlast an electronic advice, but the $55 iPad Sleeve from Saddleback Leathers actually comes with a 100 year warranty and the slogan, “they’ll fight over it when you’re dead”.

As Rob Beschizza at BoingBoing puts it, “It’s one of the few iPad cases that will not only last longer than your iPad, but provide nourishment after the zombie holocaust.”

Saddleback products have become pretty popular in the gadget circles and their $400+ laptop bags are already being carried and praised by a number of serial entrepreneurs and techies like Chris Brogan.

So with a plethora of travel bags, messenger bags, satchels and briefcases in hand-made production, they’ve also put together a line of iPad Sleeves which come in four colors: Dark Coffee Brown, Carbon Black, Chestnut and Tobacco Brown.

Animal lovers beware—these cases are the real thing. Saddleback admits that while they don’t use kangaroo hide, which has the toughest tensile strength rating of leathers, they lined this sleeve with the second best option: pigskin. According to the site, it’s 8 ¾”w x 10 3/8″h (22.2cm x 26.4cm) flat, “but you can fit a large grapefruit inside” and  it “can be stretched to fit like a pistol in a holster”.

Saddleback has a history in making great videos, and it’s probably the reason why the techies love them so much. They’ve got videos of their bags vs. alligators and sharks as well as user-submitted pictures of their products in the wild.

Even more, Dave from Saddleback puts together introductory videos for each of their products, so if you want to learn more about the case, watch his video.

Also, they won’t tell you beforehand, but 10% of your purchase will go to charities such as JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), ANLM (Africa New Life Ministries), Mercy Ships, and Compassion International. When you order your product, you’ll get a confirmation email that includes the text below:

“Oh, and by the way, I didn’t want to tell you this before you joined, but 10% of the gross amount that you gave to Saddleback went directly to one of those aid organizations on the Dave’s Links page. If you spent $500 + $20 for shipping then $52 went out to love people. Basically, you just contributed to drilling a well for an entire village or partially sponsored a 5 year old street kid in Rwanda to get into a loving orphanage and go to one of the best schools in the country. This is the main reason Saddleback Leather exists. Just wanted to let you know… between friends. Thanks for helping.”

So you could get your average $40 iPad sleeve at the Apple store, a $250 Gucci iPad sleeve, or spend $55 bucks on a super durable sleeve that also doubles as a grapefruit holder.
