It features a protective cover that flips open for quick access to the Multi-Touch display and closes like a book to protect against dirt and smudges. The cover also locks into place in back to turn the folio into an adjustable stand for optimal viewing and typing. The new Griffin + Threadless Elan Folio collection includes four original Threadless designs: \"Peacock,\" \"City Canals,\" \"Circle Dots,\" and \"Atlantis.\" The case features a long-wearing canvas exterior, microsuede interior lining, and a handy loop to conveniently store a stylus. The new Elan Folio cases for iPad are now available at both www.griffintechnology.com and www.threadless.com.     For iPhone, the new additions to the Griffin + Threadless collection include two super-slim cases from Griffin with original artwork from the Threadless community. The case snaps on to provide protection from scratches, dust and boringness, while adding only about a millimeter of thickness.
