There is just these thoughts in your mind you may just lose and this touch screen. Together, if you are lucky, you can escape with your mind intact as long as you can avoid … penguins. Confused?

    Byron,
    I have a small leather backpack that I love that I use as my pocketbook. It has very handy compartments, including one that an iPad fits in. I got it from http://www.sunflowerleather.com I don’t see my model pictured on their web site but you can check out their show schedule to see if they’ll be at a craft fair near you. Mine is red but perhaps a darker color would be more manly.
