One of my missions when I travelled to Dubai last week was to find a good leather practical case for my iPad as I did not find any in Kuwait.

The PDair leather case is exactly what I was looking for. It’s a book-case-like-file that holds your iPad perfectly in place. It has magnetic closures and can stand horizontally or vertically for hands free viewing.

I found it in one of the booths that stand between shops in The Mall of Emirates.

Funny story. I asked for the price and the seller said it’s AED 320. I started bargaining the price as I thought it was very expensive. The seller kept convincing me that the brand itself is expensive, but I did not care. I managed to bring down the price to AED 270.

I got it reluctantly, as I thought it was still expensive, reasoning with the fact that I did not find anything else that was even close to its design.

When I checked the price on PDair official website, it was $79.

$79 = approx. KD 23

AED 270 = approx. KD 21

It turned out the seller was right. It Is an expensive brand and I managed to get it below retail price!

Very proud of myself!

To find the booth, enter The Mall of Emirates from Kempinski Hotel. It’s probably the 2nd of third booth. It sells phone accessories.
