The air is definitely feeling cooler (we got snow today!) and the jackets are getting used daily. This can only mean one thing—the holiday season is just around the corner, and finding the perfect present is a must!

This year, a tailor-made case for an iPhone, iPad, or any other electronic device would be the ideal gift for anyone in your life!

At caseable, you can choose from the many designs you think the they will love or gift them with a certificate to do the choosing for themselves. Either way they will be impressed at your thoughtful gift encased with a personal touch.


The important person in your life probably has an awesome personality, why not get them a phone case that matches it?

I was so impressed with the very wide selection of type of cases that caseable offered! Definitely one of the largest selections I have seen...they don't just offer iPhone products, but custom covers for tablet covers and e-reader covers for electronics like my new Kobo Glo!

The front of my custom case!

I absolutely LOVE the new caseable Kobo Glo eReader case I got to design with my very own pictures. It was SO easy to do and it looks exactly like I imagined!

The inside of the case with my Kobo Glo secured

Plus, the case is so well made! It is hand-crafted in Brooklyn from recycled materials and is bump, scratch and splash resistant! They really worked with me to get the best picture quality I could and I really appreciated them taking the extra step to make my cover look awesome!

The front and back of the case
I love that my case is one-of-a-kind, it shows of my family, and it protects my Kobo Glo all at the same time!

Inside the case
It holds the Kobo Glo at the four corners with secure straps and holds the cover shut with the longer black strap. The material is so soft and I love the little pocket for carrying extra things on the back of the front cover!

Overall, I am really happy with the care, design and durability of the caseable Kobo Glo cover and I highly recommend designing a one-of-a-kind cover for any electronic item you own!

Buy It: You can purchase the all (including the custom!) Kobo Glo cover for $44.90 from caseable.com

Kobo Glo

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.


Looking for the perfect holiday gift? Look no further! Kobo's family of devices offers a host of gift options for everyone in the family this holiday season. Kobo's new tablets, Kobo Arc 10HD and Kobo Arc 7HD are ideal for the tech-savvy teen looking for the ultimate multimedia experience, while younger readers on-the-go, can access thousands of eBooks while on the bus, in the car or just hanging out at the local library with the Kobo Glo.

Do you have a mom or grandma who’s passionate about reading? The Kobo Aura and Kobo Aura HD deliver a luxury reading experience with the crispest, clearest screen that’s easy on the eyes with ComfortLight as well as customizable, with personalized recommendations and a Beyond the Book feature that lets you discover more content related to key subjects within the book you are reading.


Not only that, but all Kobo’s devices include access to Reading Life, providing a world of social reading and distinct digital features. With Reading Life and as the official eReading partner of Facebook, it is easier than ever for users to share what they’re reading with friends and join conversations with others reading the same book. Plus, any book bought through Kobo’s eBookstore or uploaded to a user’s library can be read on almost any device through Kobo’s free apps for Mac, PC, iPhone, Blackberry, Android, etc.


I am really loving the Kobo Glo that I have been reading my favorite books on lately! It doesn't disturb others: The comfortable eReading display lets users read with a discrete light that won’t disturb those around them.


You also experience the ultimate readability: Thanks to the Kobo Glo’s 6” high-res XGA Pearl E Ink touchscreen, it feels like reading print on paper, only better!


The Kobo Glo ComfortLight illuminates the screen with an even, soft, adjustable front-light so you can read any eBook any time of day or night — no lamp required! And, with the magic of E Ink, customizable fonts, and a high-res XGA screen, people who love to read will enjoy the ultimate Kobo reading experience.

I was really nervous to switch to an e-reader since I REALLY love physical books and the feel. However, the Kobo Glo is just like reading a book - so clear and bright...but I only need one hand to read it so it is great for reading while nursing the baby, traveling (GoodBYE carrying 10 books on vacation!!), and reading late at night without disturbing my sleeping husband!!


I find myself carrying my Kobo Glo everywhere with me so any time I get downtime, I can start it up and read to my heart's content! Then when I need a break, I just either power it off or put it in sleep mode and it shows the cover of the book on the front of the Kobo just like a real book! Plus, I never need to search for a bookmark again because it always starts me right back to where I was when I turn it back on!!


For a lover of "real" books, I am really a convert to Kobo e-readers now and I would recommend them to all busy moms/women this Holiday season!

Buy It: You can purchase the Kobo Glo for $129.99 from Kobo.com
