The next option – a leather ipad case is pretty cool.
The Parisan Leather ipad case
from Barkers $129.99
The Parisian ipad case from Barkers is a buttery soft and hand made in thick, genuine leather. Hand crafted in New Zealand uniquely for Barkers by Parisian, it truely is elegant, yet masculine and superior in style to most ipad accessories found at an electronics store.
However, there is a catch with this choice; you need to check whether or not your Dad actually owns an ipad.
If he doesn’t then you’re left with two options, a) buy him one or, b) buy him a wallet.
When choosing a wallet we recommend selecting a style that is of a timeless nature as chances are it will need to last a while. Fashion trends will come and go throughout the life span of this wallet so definitely steer clear of anything that requires the use of Velcro to close.
Our pick, is this classic styled black leather bifold wallet from Working Style. It’s not overly complicated by compartments which won’t be used yet has enough room for cards and some cash.
