Remember how fun it was to play with an Etch A Sketch? You can take that artsy toy to these tablet-crazy times with Etcher, an iPad case with a functioning mechanical drawing toy located at the back of the tablet.
Created by Ari Krupnik & Associates, this officially-sanctioned Etcher iPad case comes with working knobs that you can rotate to draw. And just like the actual toy, you can shake it to erase the art and start over. It also comes with a “Made for iPad” certification



The creators have recently put up a Kickstarter project page in hopes that it would be funded to jumpstart production. Of course, the larger pledge you give, the more perks you receive. For instance, you can get an Etcher in nostalgic red for a $45 pledge; pay up to $100 for more colors options, even a special backer-only shade. For those who pay much more than that, there are also access to SDK, a package of five or 10 Etcher cases, and even a say on what open-source license the device’s source code will use.



So far, it has received a little under $7,500, barely 10 percent of its goal. Care to make this Etcher iPad cover a reality?
