Now, Versetta's clearly taken some protections with the English language here -- its bags are more Paris, Texas than Paris, France -- but we're nonetheless impressed with all the novel approach to stowing your iOS slab.
The company's pushing two separate lines for the pouches -- one for professionals and one for ladies who lunch -- both of which allow you to access your iPad, ports and all of, without taking it out of its case. Sure they're more QVC than LV, but if you're into trap doors, you can grab a bag in the source link below. Full PR after the break.

Almost half of UK holidaymakers buy fake goods when abroad, often after being duped into believing they were saving money on branded handbags, clothes and other items, according to a new report.
Research by online shopping comparison website Kelkoo showed that Spain, Turkey, Thailand, Greece and China were the most popular destinations for travellers to buy fakes.
A study of almost 4,000 adults revealed that handbags were the most popular counterfeit item bought, followed by designer clothing, sunglasses, watches and jewellery.
Two-thirds of those questioned said they knew they were buying fake goods but a third believed they were buying a genuine product at a fraction of the original price.
A third of those polled said buying fake goods abroad was “harmless”, even though the practice is illegal, leading to possible prosecution in the UK and confiscation of counterfeit items by customs officers.
