Elan Passport

No matter where you and your iPad are headed, you can both travel in style with the Elan Passport. The one-piece folio flips open to reveal your iPad's Multi-Touch display, then closes like a book for privacy and protection. Griffin’s Elan Passport's micro suede lining protects your iPad from scratches and smudges. Held shut by a tab closure, the inner cover includes pockets for credit cards, important papers, and more. If you're going to take your iPad everywhere you'll need the case that's ready for anything.

Elan Sleeve

The Elan Sleeve is slim enough to slip into a backpack, bag or briefcase and tough enough to protect your Apple iPad from scratches and smudges. Slip your iPad into the Elan Sleeve, then flip the tab closure down to secure it. Gently pull the tab to slide your iPad out quickly and safely. For protection that looks great, Griffin’s Elan Sleeve is constructed of a stain-resistant synthetic outer shell with a smooth micro suede interior.

Griffin's FlexGrip case wraps your Apple iPad in durable silicone that's easy to grip and protects against dirt and scratches.
