Currently funding on Kickstarter, the Sketchbook is the world's first wire-bound case for the iPad Pro that utilizes the simple coiled spine as a way to open and close the case. Customizable, the Sketchbook can be outfitted with a choice of different exteriors to make it entirely one's own. Thin, discreet and packed with a section to hold the Apple Pencil, the Sketchbook is an Apple iPad Pro case that will call to mind the writing and/or sketching process every time the tablet is used. The design can be purchased at an early bird pricing of just £18. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Analog-digital Hybrid Accessories:** The trend of creating accessories that offer experiences or aesthetics from the analog world in a digital format is gaining popularity. - **Product Customization:** More products are allowing consumers to personalize or customize their purchases to fit their unique preferences. - **Simple Design for Digital Accessories:** The trend of creating digital accessories with simple, intuitive designs is becoming popular among consumers who value both form and function. ### Who This Affects Most - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore how to create analog-like experiences while incorporating digital technology. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce industry can implement customization options on their platforms to allow customers to personalize their orders. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can create simple and stylish digital accessories that appeal to both fashion-conscious and tech-savvy consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Balanced Lifestyle Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soma-x-ipad-case.md) - [Leather-Bound Connected Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-notebooks.md) - [Shapeshifting Tablet Workstation Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moft-dynamic-folio.md) - [Angular Tablet Protector Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitaka-magez-folio-2.md) - [Modular Refillable Notebook Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system.md) - [Magnetic Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-folio-for-ipad.md) - [Malleable Magnetic Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-keyboard-case.md) - [Notepad-Replacing E Ink Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocketbook-inkpad-x-pro.md) - [Productivity-Focused Tablet Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/type-folio-case.md)
