Congratulations and thank you to all the folks who entered our JAVOedge Summer Escapes Giveaway Contest!

Congrats to the lucky winners in our contest! We loved reading all the entries and the stories you included so we included them here. Winners were chosen by random.org. So, let’s cut to the chase –

The 5 Lucky Winners  are…..

Kristi – “I want to go to the Outer Banks with my Nook and lay on the beach with a good Nicholas Sparks book. I would love anyone of the Cases that were displayed on the first page of this contest. Most of them I’ve never seen before! Especially the orange and cream floral one.”

Roxie – “I would love to take my nook to Hawaii this summer! Sitting on a white sand beach, reading for hours on my nook, sipping an ice tea under the hot sun sounds wonderful! My favorite JAVOedge case is the flip style Cherry Blossom in purple. It is a very cute and functional case!”

Tiffany – “I wish i could travel to Ireland (anywhere in Ireland) with my kindle 2- I’ve never been there before, but it seems like the perfect place to sit back and relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery.However, somewhere more attainable that i would like to go to is Scottsdale, Arizona to be with my family. I love the pink croc flip style case, It would be nice to be able to read hands free while Im eating my much beloved greasy summer food.”

Janice Busch - “I wish that I were traveling with my kindle this summer to visit my son in Los Angeles. He has lived there for 9 years now and I have never been able to afford to visit him and I miss him terribly. Today is his 31st birthday! My favorite Javo case is one that flips open and is the lightest weight because I love to have it stand up to read and I need the light weight due to wrist problems.”

Corinne -  “I don’t have any place exotic that I’d like to go, but I would like to go back to NY. I moved to LA about a year and a half ago and haven’t been back since. I’d like to go to NY to see my mom who is a very big reader and who bought me my nook for Christmas. I really like the “JAVOedge Pink Croc Book Style Case” because I love pink and have pink everything basically (blackberry, nook back cover, itouch, wallet, you name it) and it looks really chic.”

Congrats and we’ll be in touch shortly so check your emails that you provided via our blog!

Meantime, keep JAVOedge on your mind, as we’ll definitely look forward to more contests/sweepstakes in the future!

JAVOedge had to deliver its unique spin on the hottest tablet device in the universe – the Apple iPad. As longtime fans may know, JAVOedge delivers unique (some may say, KOOKY) styles to our followers. Love unique fabric prints? We got that. Eco-friendly styles? We got that. Cork?! We GOT that. Modern, contemporary (guy-friendly) looks? Yep. A range for the whole family of different tastes. So, when the iPad arrived, we thought it would be awesome to splash our styles on that large iPad canvas (the rear or derriere of it at least). If you’re going to be touching, caressing, hugging your iPad out in public, you might as well do it in a stylish, awesome case. See our Six Cases Below!

JAVOedge Cherry Blossom Back Cover for the Apple iPad (Red)

For those who love Japanese prints, the JAVOedge Cherry Blossom Back Cover for iPad is an homage to traditional Japanese floral patterns. It’s one of our hottest prints, being a best seller for our Nook and Kindle versions. See why when you check out the print close-up. It comes in Red, Twilight Purple, and Cocoa.

The JAVOedge Corky Back Cover for the Apple iPad is definitely quirky. Quirky meets Cork = Corky, get it? Yes, we’re corny like that. The cork cut-outs create a bold, graphic pattern that adds up to a contemporary, green appealing look. No joke, the exterior is really partly composed of pressed cork. Don’t blame us if you treat it like a giant coaster.

For something more rough and tumble, the JAVOedge Lumberjack Back Cover for the Apple iPad has green appeal. Partially made of pressed cork (like the Corky!), the Lumberjack has been distressed to give it a more handled, woodsy, outdoors look. Any extra scuffs/scratches will just add to its natural, campy look.

For the metro type, the JAVOedge Fiber Back Cover for the Apple iPad is the perfect alternative to a leather case in that you can take it out for work or play. The distinctive carbon fiber pattern that adds a sheen to your iPad (see photo above).

Our popular Kyoto Flip Case and Kyoto Book Style Case  is now available for the best-selling Barnes & Nobles Nook. Bursting with vintage wildflowers, your Nook will pop against this chocolate brown case. Compliment summer’s bright colors with the Kyoto Case, it’s positively nice enough to leave propped up at your desk or dinner table. Dangle a charm or keychain on the sideloop. Available at Amazon, Kyoto Flip Case and Kyoto Book Style Case

Meet the MiMo Case collection for the Barnes & Nobles Nook, a blend between a modern and minimalist design. The MiMo case is perfect to try out in different colors and is a great case to carry around the house or around town. Check out the earthy colors which are reflective of the Pacific Northwest – teal, olive, saddle, purple, and navy hues. MiMo Case for Barnes & Nobles Nook is available in: saddle, teal, olive, purple, navy, and beige.

eReaders: Kindle vs. Nook vs. iPad (Read for CNET reviews)

Meantime, the iPad has been considered a multi-tasking tool, a lightweight way to keep yourself tethered to the web. Here are some stylish options to deck your eReader or tablet out from JAVOedge.
