5 Matching iPhone and iPad Cases

We’re guessing if you have both an iPhone and an iPad then you’re a fan of Apple products, and proud of your shiny new tablet and its “mini-me” phone buddy.

So, what better way to celebrate your iPhone and its big tablet brother than with matching cases? Here we bring together five trendy options that are available for both of the devices.

Get coordinated across your entire Apple mobile portfolio with one of these paired up solutions that will give your iDevices the twin look. The Schwarzenegger/Devito twin look maybe, but a twin look nonetheless…


1. SeasideSew Handmade Fabric Cases



For the iPad



For the iPhone


If you’re the arts-and-crafts type then there’s a treasure trove of great homemade cases and sleeves to be found on Etsy. This cheerful mermaid design from California-based SeasideSew caught our eye. With bamboo padding for protection, the outer fabric is water-resistant making these a sensible, as well as sweet, option.

Cost: From $25 and from $21


2. Vers Audio Wooden Cases



For the iPad



For the iPhone


We’re big fans of Vers Audio and its policy to plant 100 trees for every one cut down, so these fabulous wooden cases crafted from bamboo and hardwoods are guilt-free, while their steel reinforced build quality should mean they’ll be the only ones you’ll need for a long, long time.

Cost: $79.99 and $39.99


3. Beautiful Skin Leather Cases



For the iPad



For the iPhone



Made from 100% kid skin (re: young goats, not actually “kids”) and cow hide, these cases offer unique graphic designs printed directly on to the leather. This results in unusual cases that are attractive and handcrafted without being too cute or too homely. This cherry blossom and swallow design is available from Etsy seller tovicorrie’s “Beautiful Skin” shop but order requests can be made for any of the many leather designs available.

Cost: $90 and $38


4. Griffin Technology FlexGrip Cases



For the iPad



For the iPhone


If you’re not the handcrafted or wood type, then Griffin Technology’s FlexGrip cases might be the option for you. They offer functional, minimalist coverings for your iPhone and iPad that protect and give better grip with absolutely no fuss whatsoever. Made of durable, non-scratching silicone, the white option is available for both devices.

Cost: $34.99 and $9.99


5. Cygnett “Glam” Cases



For the iPad



For the iPhone


These glossy, patent leather efforts are appropriately named “Glam” and will bring some high-sheen shine to both your iPhone and iPad. Inside you’ll find micro-suede to cushion your precious devices in the luxury they deservs while the screens get protected with the book-style cover for the iPad and the flip down top for the iPhone.

Cost: $69.95 and $29.95


BONUS: Uncommon Capsule Cases — Coming Soon for iPad


Uncommon offers a fabulous range of customizable shatterproof polycarbonate “capsule cases” for Apple’s iPhone (and iPod touch) with a iPad version planned for the coming months. The option to take advantage of the Uncommon’s design-your-own service that lets you upload your own images or photos to be made into a personalized case means this might be one worth waiting for.

Cost: TBC and $39.95
