When a 4-decade old bookish skill meets technology

Philip Bradburn, a Bookbinder expert based in England, got what he called a “KleverCase lightbulb moment” when he thought of giving a twist to his son’s Christmas present in 2011: Unifying his 40-year-old bookbinding experience with the modern technology by producing a handmade gadget case in the form of hard bound book.

Their book cases fit certain sizes of kindle, phones, and ereaders. One case could either be specifically moulded plastic for popular gadgets, or a universal fit reusable grip area for other devices.

Mr. Bradburn’s workshops in the New Forest England produces a variety of British and American literature-inspired gadget cases, ranging from Sherlock Holmes to To Kill a Mockingbird.

Sherlock Holmes:

The Great Gatsby:

To Kill a Mockingbird:

His little company KleverCase is a passionate family business, which also helps people in his area back to work.

This post is going to be a mess, because I’m just …untidily angry right now. It began with a series of tweets I made today about my ever-broken Datsun. The mechanic had told my husband that he was “working on that Datsun just as fast as I can because now that I’ve met her I can’t wait to get that...
