The Greensleeve iPad 2 case by Gone Studio is devoid of many things. Clad in all-natural wool felt with a steel-button closure, it’s completely plastic-free, a conscious decision by LEED-certified designer George Elvin in the aftermath of the Gulf Coast oil spill. The case is also made entirely without electricity—by Elvin himself, in fact—on a 1935 foot-powered Singer sewing machine in his Indianopolis studio. Still not impressed? Elvin assembled the machine himself from salvaged components. It lives!
