This classically-styled iPad Folio from designer Jack Spade is truly a case (no pun intended) of simple design at its finest. With the onslaught of designer iPad cases in the past year, it’s difficult to wade through the options without getting a headache. For iPad lovers who enjoy simple design and want neither a futuristic design nor a rustic, handcrafted look, the Jack Spade case is a perfect aesthetic fit. Constructed from premium nylons, the durable folio will protect your iPad from evil in three viewing positions and has two pockets for papers. Perhaps most importantly, the Jack Spade Folio ($69.95) features a port for docking your iPad without having to remove the cover, so your gadget will never have to go without protection.

It's typical for us to compare fairly recent devices on this website because upgrade cycles for most devices are relatively short. That's not so where tablets are concerned. If you're anything like most of us, you wait years between tablet upgrades, and that's because tablets don't need updating very often. So, it's entirely possible you're still using a tablet from the late or even mid-2010s and are starting to wonder if it's worth upgrading.
