Hip Handmaids Takes iPad Jokes to a Whole New Level
The name for Apple’s touch screen tablet has always been the center of many bad jokes and puns. Even before an official name came out, the speculations alone were more than enough to make our most austere reader’s ears turn red.
Now, Steve Jobs has finally given the official christening of the newfangled gizmo and we have to say, any joke the iPad receives is well received. First off, the tablet shares the name of a series of women’s padded push up bras made by a Canadian lingerie company. Second, the name conjures images of ladies’ overnight napkins.
Hip Handmaids, from Etsy, have recently decided that since the joke was so fun to hear, why not make a product based on it?
The creative team quickly went all out and created the iMaxi -an all purpose carry all case for the iPad in the shape of a giant napkin complete with wings and pad grooves. While this may seem like a novelty joke (and some women might feel offended by it), it actually does work. Sanitary napkins after all, have been designed to give total support and comfort.
Obviously, real napkins are made to guard against leaks and carry cases are supposed to protect from small impacts. The iMaxi’s “pseudo absorbent” area is actually a heavily padded shock protector. The “wings” spread out in order to fully wrap and support the touch screen tablet. Overall, it is a well designed carry case that should give you and a few of your more open minded friends a good laugh.
Of course, if you really want to go shocking, the Hip Handmaids are also offering the iMaxi with an all red interior pad –perfect for that time of the month.
