We have highlighted our affection for Colorware before when the company introduced colorized Kindles and iPads- after what's not to like about folks devoted to the idea of adding color to our lives through customized technology? If you love the idea of a pop of color, but don't want to make a permanent change to your iPad, then the new Grip from Colorware might be just what you need. Or not...the price may shock you.

The new Colorware Grip for iPad combines the joy of a custom color case with the utility of a versatile carrying handle. Manufactured in Minnesota using aircraft-grade aluminum, the Grip is a durable fitted carrying case that adds both color and utility to your iPad. As always with Colorware, you can customize from a wide selection of colors to make your Grip unique. The grip is also easy to install- just remove the four screws with the included custom allen wrench, then carefully slide it onto your iPad and replace the screws.

Admittedly the $300 price tag makes the Grip beyond a splurge; though we appreciate the fun and functional aspects of the design, we're still apt to recommend keeping those 3 Benjamins in your pocket and purchase a good iPad case instead.
