now i read a blog which LV Outlet luxury, i share a iPad Accessories " Just as how LV was the first luxury label to debut an Apple iPod case back in the day, the French leathergoods and ready-to-wear house has rolled out a special case designed for the iPad. While it’s almost the price of the iPad itself, for those who work in the fashion or entertainment industries, it’s a small price to pay for a stylish yet durable cover. I have a lot of friends who own iPads, and they all complain that the standard cover is ugly, leaves fingerprints and dirt smudges. These ladies and gents tote their iPads in their designer bags and briefcases; it’s only fitting that they have something equally as stylish to house a tool that they will undoubtedly use a lot of in the presence of others. Granted, I don’t recommend buying one if you can’t afford it–I would hope that’s obvious. Available in classic Monogram or the masculine Damier Graphite, each case is scratch resistant. The iPad slips right out from on top to prevent accidental spills. If quality mixed in with some ostentatious style is your cup of tea, then this is worth your consideration. Available at Louis Vuitton boutiques or 866-VUITTON for $390."
Yeah, LV is really luxurious, but it is really too expensive, not even worth it. while the Kate Spade ipad 2 case would be much more reasonable, such as the one which I saw on Kate spade ipad 2 case Polka Dots black white review at Kaboodle , it is no more than $30, but I think it is good enough.
It's true to say LV is very very expensive. I don't think it's worth to purchase such an expensive case for ipad. And, I got my case from the store this store (Apple Accessories - IPad Accessories - Case & Bag - ShoppingKool). It has case with the price below USD 10. Don't think it's cheap, the quality is quite good.
The people who will purchase a LV case will not care what it costs and probably can't tell you what their iPad cost either... They care about the brand first and foremost. I bet they sell thousands of them too... -t
I have the Vaja Agenda case with custom colors. With shipping it ran $250 and I actually like it. The colors are not as bright as the website but it still looks fantastic. I'll buy another one when the iPad3 comes to market.
I personaly wouldn't buy anything with a LV name on it. (or Coach, D&G, etc.) I don't mind paying a premium price for a premium product, but most of the "big names" started with a good product and then lowered quality as their name created an anchor hold in the marketplace.
The problem with "brands" is that you're paying for the label and/or marketing (e.g. expensive celebrity endorsements), and not always for the quality or workmanship of the product itself. In other words, if you choose to carry a LV or Kate Spade or D&G product around, a great deal of the cachet is in being seen carrying and using the item. On the other hand, there are other vendors which, although not exactly household names, do produce quality items at premium prices - for example, Oberon Design or Saddleback Leather, both of which make absolutely first-class iPad cases made from top quality leather. (In fact, because full-grain leather isn't as "shiny" but more of a semi-gloss, many premium brands make their leather goods from more inferior hides which have been coated over to make them look slick - so not only are you paying extra for the brand, you're getting a poorer quality product on top of it.)
Branding is everything... for some people. More expensive has never automatically meant better quality. -t
