50+ iPad & Kindle Covers, Cases To Make: {Free Patterns}
Here’s a big list of free patterns and tutorials for making covers, cases and sleeves for an Apple iPad and the Amazon Kindle (the designs will work well for netbooks and other gadgets too). I have separated them into two groups but since the devices are very similar in size and shape, they can easily be used for one or the other with minimal adjustment.
