How to Hack a Sketchbook to Store a Hidden iPad Mini

Industrial designer Eric Strebel has already filled the sketchbook he previously hacked, so it’s time for a new one.

During the build, he reveals a nifty detail about the kinds of sketchbooks that soldiers carry, then shows sketchbook carriers how to “take my iPad anywhere and keep it charged while it’s hidden, and as a bonus, [use it] as a stand for watching movies on those plane rides!”
