Papernomad Zattere Apple iPad Eco-Friendly Sleeve review

How do you want to take the iPad with you - paper or plastic? Consider the 100% organic Zattere tablet sleeve for the good of our planet and your device. It incorporates a tear/water-resistant paper composite material and wool felt lining to keep any generation iPad or even some similar sized Android tablets safer and easier to carry than a bagful of organic groceries. The slim design is perfect for modern day nomads. Slip it into a travel bag - yet better still, you can draw and write on the exterior. Like your leather satchel, this tablet sleeve will tell your story of journeys and experiences.

Editor's Rating 

The Zattere is named for the spacious Venetian promenade, the very place where the Papernomad team were quenching their thirsty palettes when they sketched its original concept. This tablet sleeve is more substantial than its basic brown paper sack looks, constructed with a special tear- and water-resistant material that contains several layers of paper, cotton and bio-polymers. The Eco-Friendly design also features Australian sheep’s wool felt lining and a magnetic hemp fiber strap, which work together to keep the device fitted very cozy inside during transport.

What makes this design more exciting than your basic everyday brown bag lunch is that you can draw on it, stamp it, paint it, or write on it. The drawback? It’s not large enough for smart cover compatibility. But then again, rather than typing or viewing with the iPad, maybe you’ll be too busy doodling, trying to convince the cute barista to jot down his/her phone number, or sketching the next great tablet case concept.

Pros

• 2012 Golden Case Awards winner for Best Eco-Friendly Case
• 2012 Golden Case Awards nominee for Best Tablet Sleeve
• Fits any iPad or like-sized tablet
• Customize the case with drawings & scribbles
• Tear and spill resistant
• 100% biodegradable

Overall: GREAT

You can’t honestly expect an iPad to last a lifetime - so why choose a synthetic case to endure that long, and beyond? The Zattere is not only an environmentally responsible choice, it’s a blank canvas for chronicling your journeys and experiences.
