[...] Make Your Own iPad Book Case – Grab an old book, some glue, and an exacto knife and make a do-it-yourself discreet case to carry your iPad in. The guide is intended for an iPad, but find an appropriately sized book and there’s no reason you can’t do this for an iPhone, iPod, or a MacBook Air too. [...]

I totally did this last christmas for my girlfriend. I got her a kindle 3 and put it in a totally crappy book. When she unwrapped “The Ruins” i thought i was going to get punched until she opened the cover and realized how awesome i am.
This is a great way to disguise a surprise tech gift also. they’ll never know what hit them!

Thanks Ted, we don’t always catch that kind of stuff.

Want to be a part time copy editor? LOL

Just a nit, but the word should be “discreet”; “discrete” implies “distinct” and/or “separate”, while “discreet” implies “hidden” or “not obvious”.

Yeah, I know, but misspellings like that take away from the otherwise great professionalism of the site. Please take it as it was intended: as help, not an attempt at trying to make you look bad.

Feel free to delete this comment after reading it. (Matter of fact, I’d rather you did.)

Yes unless you cut holes for them, I think it’s intended more for carrying around then for using entirely inside the book.

How do you reach the Power, Volume and Rotation Lock/Mute Switch? Won’t they be “stuck” in the book?

What a great idea. If you selected the proper book you could inlay the power cord as well and cut a thin slot for the adapter to slide through. With iOS 5 you’ll be able to sync without pulling the iPad out of the case too.
