# Sophisticated Suitcase Sleeves The Thom Browne iPad Case is a Super Sleek Briefcase Design By Summer Luu | Published 2011-03-31 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thom-browne-ipad-case References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2011/03/29/thom-browne-ipad-case/) & [thombrowne](http://www.thombrowne.com/) With its [professional briefcase design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexible-briefcase), the Thom Browne iPad Case is ultra-classy. It is definitely a good match for a gentleman in a suit who needs a sleek sleeve to tote around his tablet. The look is clearly inspired by a [classic men's suitcase](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-luggage), complete with a handle at the top and a golden lock and clasp. It comes in a [luxurious black leather casing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonder-collection) and the detailing of Browne's tricolor signature branding. The case consists of interior compartmental pockets offering a place for some paper, pens, business cards and more. I'm excited to see this first preview of the Thom Browne iPad Case and look forward to seeing more when it is released with the New York designer’s fall and winter 2011 collection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sleek Briefcase Design:** Opportunity to create sophisticated and stylish sleeves for electronics with a briefcase-inspired design. - **Luxurious Leather Casing:** Opportunity to develop high-end products using luxurious leather materials that cater to the professional market. - **Interior Compartmental Pockets:** Opportunity to design functional and organized sleeves that offer storage solutions for additional accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion accessories industry to create sleek and stylish sleeves for electronic devices. - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity for luxury brands to expand their product range by offering high-end sleeves for electronics with a focus on design and materials. - **Tech Accessories:** Opportunity for tech accessory brands to enhance their product offerings by incorporating functional and organized storage solutions in their sleeves. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Leather Laptop Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-leather-slim-case.md) - [Briefcase-Style Tablet Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitaka-flipbook-case.md) - [Electronic Device Leather Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pad-quill.md) - [Professional Metallic Briefcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-attach-case.md) - [Balanced Lifestyle Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soma-x-ipad-case.md) - [Dual-Material Laptop Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardgraft-5050-macbook-pro-sleeve.md) - [Whale-Shaped Dynamic Luxury Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whale-baguette-bag.md) - [Functional Comfort-Focused Briefcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex-briefcase.md) - [Leather-Woven Luggages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottega-veneta-6.md)
