This is both the best and worst Apple iPad case we've ever seen. On the one hand, it's got novelty working for it, like the manila folder cases for the Macbook Air, but on the other hand we'd never want to be seen in public toting it.

The iMaxi iPad case seems more at home on the set of Attack of the 50-Foot Woman than tucked neatly away inside your messenger bag, but the item?priced between $30 and $40 and even available with a red lining?is doing swift sales since the iPad became available over the weekend.

You can rest assured that Apple stores won't be carrying it anytime soon, but still, we're curious: would you stash your iPad in an iMaxi?
