ColcaSac, a company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah has some pretty attractive iPad sleeves on offer, and some unique ways to market them as well. They are inspired from impressive locations visited by ColcaSac staffers.

ColcaSac makes five different iPad sleeves, as well as numerous iPhone and MacBook sleeves.

Apple tablet owners will be immediately drawn by the designs, and perhaps even the price ($35), considering the quality materials used by ColcaSac to craft them.

“A ColcaSac iPad sleeve will comfortably protect your iPad from scratches, dents and bumps,” the company explains.

“Our iPad sleeve fits the iPad perfectly, with no slack, making it particularly comfortable to carry,” it adds.

What’s even better, the sleeves also feature a functional pocket for carrying around the iPad’s USB cable and power adapter.

From the looks of it, customers will not be carrying around a bulky package.

“Each iPad sleeve is hand made in Salt Lake City, UT, and made from tough materials that are easy on the environment. A Buy one, we swear you will love it,” ColcaSac notes.

As mentioned above, ColcaSac used inspiration to craft these protective sleeves for iPad.

For example, the Hanakapiai sleeve (pictured above) is inspired by the Hanakapiai beach, which is “about two miles in (or 9 miles back) as you hike along the Kalalau trail in northern Kauai.”

Described as an "incredible" place, Hanakapiai makes a “nice resting spot for your tired feet,” ColcaSac believes.

“Curious thing, however, is the wooden sign with etch marks keeping tally on the 83 and counting deaths from the particularly capricious waves and currents,” the company observes.

As such, dark brown, heavy duty 18.5 oz basketweave hemp canvas makes the outside of this iPad carrying case.

Naturally-grown hemp, harvested in rural China is also used in the Hanakapiai sleeve. According to ColcaSac, it comes second only to the spider web, in the world’s strongest natural fibers.

In a manner usual to any vendor of iAccessories, ColcaSac lists the following key features for its iPad sleeves.

--Solid protection from dents and scratches, which allows you to travel about without worrying for your iPad's safety.

--A Velcro closure that is thinner and quieter than traditional Velcro. Velcro allows you to quickly load and unload your iPad.

--It will fit your iPad perfectly. This is probably more important than you think. A snug fit will make the sleeve + iPad much more comfortable to carry, and also looks much better.

--A functional pocket that keeps your adapter in place. Worried that it will fall out? It won't.
