Some things get used often enough that it’s nice to have a place made just for them. A tablet is one of those everyday essentials that can be just as useful around the house as it is tucked into a bag for the day, and keeping it covered between uses means there’s one less thing to worry about getting scratched, bumped, or buried underneath everything else.

The nice thing about a tablet is that it doesn’t take much to bring it along. There’s room for the device and a few of the smaller things that tend to go with it, without turning the whole setup into something bigger than it needs to be. Keep it nearby for work, entertainment, travel, or whatever else the tablet gets called into service for — then zip everything up when it’s time to put it away.

For something so practical, there’s no reason its everyday accessories have to feel impersonal. A colorful sleeve is an easy way to bring a favorite print into the things used all the time, especially when so much of our technology tends to look the same. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone with a new tablet, or a little upgrade for the one that’s been doing just fine with the same boring cover for years.
