Work & Play iPad Mini® Folio
Price: $99.00
Item: AL12125
Our mighty popular Work & Play iPad Folio is now sized for the iPad Mini
With the growing popularity of our iPad Work & Play Folio, we knew it was time to shrink it down to (iPad) mini size. Just like its full-size sibling, the Mini version safely cradles your iPad Mini in a magnetically secured leather holder that lifts out or flips around to stand at an angle. Surf, stream, be social, snap photos--and know that our high-quality notepad is right there beside your tiny tablet, ready to capture your thoughts on rich ruled paper.
Now your iPad mini has twice the power
That's because you've leveraged the power of your tiny tablet with our little notepad. When high tech meets paper tech, you're at maximum power--at meetings, for research, when planning or just pondering. Why take advantage of just one technology when you can harness the power of two? When the social power of the iPad meets the contemplative power of good paper, you have the best of both.
View at a comfortable angle
Your iPad is safely, softly cradled in a magnetically secured leather holder. When you want to angle your iPad for viewing, simply open the folio, pull the cover up and over, and it will sit at a comfortable angle for reading or viewing.
Film with your iPad Mini protected
If you want to take a photo or shoot a video, just remove the magnetic iPad holder from the folio and aim away.
Use easily with either your right hand or left
Your Work & Play Mini Folio is also a Levenger ambi folio--ambi as in ambidextrous. It means you can insert the Levenger notepad from either end of the folio, so it works whether you're right-handed or left-handed. You can also rotate the magnetic iPad holder for right or left hand usage.
Free notepad with your folio
When you purchase the Work & Play iPad Mini Folio, the Levenger notepad is part of the deal. The 50 sheets are made of high-quality, 90-gsm paper. We want you to have paper that's worthy of your iPad--no matter what the size.
Sized to perfectly fit the original iPad mini
Elastic strap keeps the folio securely closed and your iPad protected when not in use
Levenger junior notepad included, and
readily available
Full-grain leather exterior
6 1/4W x 1 1/8D x 8 1/4H
iPad Mini holder: 5 1/2W x 1/2D x 8 1/4H

Disappointed with product
I purchased this for my husband as a Christmas gift and after trying it for 3 months, we just removed the iPad from the holder. The design is faulty in that it covers too much of the screen and you cannot navigate easily, so we returned to using an Otterbox. The rest of the folio is nice for having a writing pad and pen, but not in combination with the iPad.
April 4, 2014
This is a great tool. When I have my Mini at the office, it provides both a writing surface and the tablet in a single location. And the notepaper included? Makes me wonder why I buy paper anyplace else.
March 1, 2014
Classy and Useful
This folio combines the iPad mini with a notepad very nicely. The leather feels and looks great, and the cover feels substantial and sturdy. The iPad holder comes off with a slight pull so you can use it independently of the folio. The magnets hold it in place, but aren't strong enough to make it difficult to detach. The folding stand operation works well. I'm a fountain pen user, so having the notepad and pen holder is a real plus. Sometimes pen and paper just work best for certain things. Overall, it feels great, looks classy and perfect in the office or home. You can carry your iPad and a notepad in a convenient and reasonably compact holder, and it functions as a stand for work or play. Probably my only gripe is that the frame around the front of the iPad is a little too wide around the side edges of the screen. It does not block the screen at all, but because the leather is a little thick and comes so close to the edge of the screen, it can be difficult to hit some icons and text on the edge of the screen. That is an issue with a text app like Notes, when you want to put the insertion point at the left edge of the screen. It's hard to reach.

Top of the line Ipad Covers.
After opening the package that was a first class shipment I was very excited about my covers. I looked at several covers before I ordered so I knew exactly what I bargained for. I ordered the cover for the IPAD 2 first and the quality of leather was a little heavy but nevertheless it was first class and meant to be tough enough to sustain usage and protection from handling. My next order was 2 IPAD MINI Covers of which are easy to carry around in a purse and still offer I protection I demand for safety of the devices.
January 6, 2014
Best Folio I have found
I have tried different brands and either they are not elegant enough or function is poor. I like the versatility of this folio. I can have elegance at work and I can take it on vacation for picture taking. I love taking notes and then transferring it neatly into my iPad and this allows me to do it conveniently. Once the IPad is positioned properly, the magnet seems very strong. I like the hidden magnet versus the snap on type from other brands.
December 30, 2013
Cover covers too much!
I love Levenger products but am disappointed in this one. The leather overlap over the iPad covers too much of the edges so that it's next to impossible to tap these areas quickly the first time. Very frustrating.
December 28, 2013
Very useful solution
My initial reaction was it didn't work as the instructions indicated (in 10 degree position). Instructions look wrong in several areas. But after a few days of use the product works well. Easy to position in 45 degree position on lap and can use for hours. Overall package is thicker than needed and leather that surrounds display is not parallel at top and bottom. But still is best product available for holding a pad. I do think Levenger needs to upgrade the design so it folds in the 10 degree position and the magnets hold more firmly.
December 25, 2013
Great idea, bad iPad Mini fit
I really want to like this and I will still keep using it for a while to see if I can get used to it. I love having my iPad and a great writing pad available side by side. My problem is the fit with the iPad. The leather on top is very thick and covers the edges of the actually screen a bit. So it interferes with using the iPad when you need access to the edges within an app. Other than that (very significant) shortcoming, the quality of the case is very good - nice leather, great pad, pen holder. Everything I want, except a great fit for the iPad...
December 15, 2013
Not as good as its big brother Work & Play
I have the larger Work & Play model for my big iPad, and just got this for my iPad mini. I found the magnets to be much weaker in the smaller version, causing the iPad mini to not stay upright, and to easily come out of place. I will end up returning this one. I may get a replacement if I get confirmation that the magnets have been strengthened.
December 15, 2013
Excellent functionality
This folio pad gives me the best of both worlds, secures my mini Ipad and gives me the option to write notes. The magnet is strong enough and it can be held in several different positions. I bought a second one for my daughter.

Hoy named McKusick Law Award recipient Carleton R. "Tex" Hoy has recently been selected as the 1999 recipient of the Marshall M. McKusick Award by The University of South Dakota School of Law.
The award, named for former USD Law School Dean Marshall M. McKusick, has been presented annually to outstanding contributors in the legal profession since 1951. The McKusick Award also honors the recipient's contributions to the community and bench and bar in South Dakota.
Hoy, born in Sioux City, IA, grew up in Vermillion. He received his undergraduate degree in business administration from USD in 1950 and his law degree (LLB) from the School of Law in 1956. He served as law clerk to the U.S. District Judge until 1957.
In 1973, he began a year-long term as Special Assistant to the U.S. Attorney. Hoy has served as president of the South Dakota State Bar Association (1979-80) and as president of the International Society of Barristers (1988-89).
A legendary South Dakota trial lawyer and legal advocate, Hoy has dedicated nearly half a century to the law profession and remains in practice today. His integrity and character have become true assets to the legal system and merit deserving of the McKusick Award.
Marshall M. McKusick taught at the USD School of Law for 39 years as both professor and dean of the School of Law. During his tenure, Dean McKusick successfully campaigned for higher admissions standards and improvement of the law library. He also convinced the Board of Regents not to close the school during the end of World War II when the school's enrollment fell to two students.

Getting pregnant: The decisions to start a family and start a business are strangely similar in emotion and process. Sometimes, it takes a few tries to get it right and other times it can be happen, well, by accident. We are never properly training for either endeavor, but we dive in and tend to learn as we go. Both starting a business and starting a family involve looking into the future to plan for the growth of our child (real and business).
Labor and delivery: Starting a business and delivering a baby are both tough. Yet, after the fact, we can look back with fondness to see the positive results. We bond with both our business and our baby so that, years later, the hard stuff doesn't seem so difficult anymore. And that bond gets us through some pretty tough stuff.
Baby to toddler years: In the beginning, we have to do everything for our baby and our business. As we work hard to teach them to the basics, we marvel at their growth. The Terrible Twos -- and, sometimes, Threes -- are when our child and our business experience growing pains that we somehow find our way through. We also learn that "Spit (up) happens" and to be prepared for the unexpected (sound like anyone's business experience?). At the end of the day, though, a sense of humor really comes in handy at home and as you build your business.
Elementary school years: Anyone who can figure out how to teach a child to clean up his room can persuade a customer to buy their products or services. It is about creative persuasion and, as moms, we get chances to hone that skill every day. We also learn that it isn't good to discipline in anger, neither child nor employee, and how important it is to follow through with threats.
Pre-teen years: As a child and a business begin to grow up, you need to start to let go. You have to allow for each to make mistakes and learn from failure, as long as it is controlled. It is also important to not avoid conflict as some of the best and most creative ideas and outcomes have come from productive conflict.

Nothing to call home about, but nice natural hand soap worthy of display in a guest bathroom. Worth a try.
I've been using the Juniper Laurel Mint as my bathroom hand soap and I love the scent. It is very strongly scented, so a little goes a long way. Pretty bottle design and interesting fragrances with a nice lather.
I love the caldrea hand soap, the scents are nice and it's a large bottle for the price. I use these in guest bathrooms and sometimes even my own.
Love the Caldrea scents. This soap doesn't dry out my hands like other brands. This makes a great hostess gift as well!
I'm not sure this soap is better than any other but the fragrance is out of this world wonderful. I received a sample of the lavender and pine and enjoyed using it so much. It makes a great winter-scented addition to my bathroom.
My siter purchased this for me as an extra Christmas gift. I have really been loving it! Thank you, Birtchbox!
I have the sea salt neroli scented soap. It smells lovely with just a touch of salt in the scent. It is not too perfume-y, but stays on your skin for a while afterward. I definitely recommend it!
I loved how this hand soap left my hands smelling. Very decadent! I will surely be ordering more of this!
This stuff smells amazing, and I have gotten so many guests wondering where to buy it. I had a hard time deciding which scent to purchase.
This smells divine...and leaves my hands super soft. I will be purchasing this in another scent very soon! (I also purchased the dish soap...LOVE!)

In June, the Radegast brewery attracted a record breaking number of visitors (Translation)
20 July 2011
Nošovice, July 19, 2011 - A record-breaking number of visitors could be seen this year at the Radegast brewery. For example, in June it recorded the highest number of visitors per month in its 40-year history. The Visitors' Center and the sight-seeing tour around the brewery attracted 1,690 visitors. The record was broken on Tuesday, June 7th when the brewery was visited by a total of 154 people. In comparison with June 2010, interest in the brewery increased by 20%. The numbers for July are promising as well. From the beginning of this year, more than 5,000 visitors walked though the gates of the brewery to see how beer is brewed. Radegast receives yearly more than 9,000 visitors and it is an important tourist attraction of the region. Approximately the same number of visitors comes to the brewery as visit the Michal mine in Ostrava.
The main group of visitors consists of Czech tourists. The brewery also noticed an increase in interest from the bordering Poland. The biggest number of foreign tourists comes actually from Poland. "The brewery has an important position among tourist attractions in our region. People appreciate that they get close to the brewers and can watch them work from up close. They will also take with them a feeling of pride which is part of life of residents of Moravia," further explained manager of the Radegast brewery Ivo Kaňák.
This year, they would like to celebrate a new record number of visitors and would like to welcome a 10,000th visitor. "The more attractive sight-seeing tour and the new Visitors' Center, which we opened last year in September, should help us achieve this. Visitors can buy Radegast-related souvenirs in the Visitors' Center. The sale of T-shirts and beer glasses are doing well, but we are very pleased with the sale of beer, which locals come to buy here," says Martina Sikorová, manager of the Visitors' Center. "Whoever comes to the store for the first time appreciates that he/she is able to get a tour for free. However, if a visitor does not go directly into the brewery, he is not part of total count of visitors," informs Martina Sikorova.
The Visitors' Center is open during the summer season daily from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m., except for holidays.
In comparison with last year, the number of tourists who visited the Moravia-Slezian region in the first quarter of 2011 increased by 9%. Visitors also spent more time in the region than last year. In comparison with other regions in Czech Republic, the Moravian-Slezian region is in 6th place.

Street Smarts: Tufts Sartorial Scene
With snow, mud and slush on our minds, boots, and cuffs of our jeans, it's hard to look particularly fashionable in the thick of winter. But nevertheless, some Jumbos are still making do! We got to see lots of fur, light jackets, and scarves to keep warm with a touch of style. Definite trends right now are fun accessories like fur and scarves to jazz up multiple layers and unique coats. But your absolute must on campus? Winter boots! Here are some of those Jumbos who caught our Sartorial eye:
"My favorite thing I'm wearing is my fur vest and sunglasses, I always have to wear them. It's faux fur because I had a bunny rabbit growing up." — Maddie Mayerson, senior.
"I love my fur because ti adds class to a very casual outfit, and it keeps me warm! I like to wear multiple layers with different colors and patterns, like my shirt." — Barbara Florvil, senior.
"I love my coat! My mom gave it to me and it's really comfortable. I never leave my house without this coat." – Ana Kanter, senior.
"My favorite thing I'm wearing is definitely this blue J. Crew jacket I have. It was too light without a sweatshirt though. I like slim or skinny jeans and simple, lighter clothes. I guess I'd say it's sporty chic." — Joey Reiff, sophomore.
"I'm not American, I don't like what people wear here – it's very sporty. I wouldn't just go out in sweatpants." Luza von Wangenheim, junior.

Koala bears, kangaroos and penguins: Tennis players pose Down Under
Nothing signals the beginning of a season like pictures of players trying their best to act natural around exotic Australian animals. It's tradition that when a tourist visits that mystical land down under it's mandatory that you walk away with a picture with a cute fuzzy animal, a small jar of Vegemite and a hangover. And a Kylie Minogue B-side on vinyl.
Tennis players are no different. Over the years they've all spent some time with some of Australia's finer creatures. We have the pictures to prove it. So with the "Happy Slam" soon upon us, here's a collection of some of BTB's favorite pictures of tennis players and the Aussie animals who look at them skeptically.
Anna Kournikova (2002): Kournikova offers a kiss to a tree kangaroo. Come on, 'Roo, what are you waiting for? (Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)
Andy Roddick (2010): Roddick's visit led to this hilarious video of a couple of koalas celebrating with a little love. (Bradley Kanaris/Getty Images)
Tommy Haas (2013): Even the koala's like "Yeah, that's a good lookin' dude." (Paul Kane/Getty Images)
Serena Williams (2008): Serena's posing. There's an animal passed out in the back. So this counts as Serena posing with an animal. I think. (Getty Images)
Petra Kvitova (2013): The affable Kvitova and a sleepy koala? A match made in heaven. (Chris Hyde/Getty Images)
Bernard Tomic (2012): It wasn't easy, but Tomic got there in the end. (Chris Hyde/Getty Images)
Tomas Berdych and Lucie Safarova (2011): Ah, the things these koalas have seen. Berydych and Safarova went on a visit to the zoo back when they were dating. Seemed like bliss at the time. (AFP/Getty Images)
Elena Dementieva (2009): Hey, remember Elena Dementieva? I'm sure this kangaroo does. (Robert Prezioso/Getty Images)
Ana Ivanovic (2008): Ivanovic found the one living thing on this earth shier than she is. It ended up being good luck, though. She made the Australian Open final that year and then won Roland Garros four months later. (Mark Nolan/Getty Images)
Nikolay Davydenko (2010): Signs? Kolya cares not for your signs (look over his left shoulder). (Scott Barbour/Getty Images)
Andy Murray (2007): A bed-headed Murray makes a new friend. Or at least tries to. (Aaron Francis/Getty Images)
Fernando Verdasco (2009): Remember when Verdasco was clean-shaven and seemed like a guy who enjoyed life? Yeah, me neither. (Getty Images)
Juan Carlos Ferrero (2003): What is that thing? I'm referring to Ferrero's bleach-blonde 'do, by the way. (Sean Garnsworthy/Getty Images)
Marin Cilic (2008): Cilic's 2008 shoot with the tree kangaroos was actually really adorable. I have no snark. (Kristian Dowling/Getty Images)
David Ferrer (2012): OK, fine, yellow labrador puppies are not "native" to Australia. But like I'm going to pass this picture up. Give me some credit. (Getty Images)
Caroline Wozniacki (2011): And then that happened. (William West/AFP/Getty Images)
