If you still haven’t found an ideal clamshell case to fit your iPad, check out this mod from Apple Noir: It replaces an old iBook G3 screen with an iPad. The modders also had to replace the original keyboard with something that would interface with the iPad. The new iPad is quite an upgrade for the original clamshell iBook. The old laptop featured a 300MHz Power PC processor, 64MB of RAM, a 6GB hard drive, and a 12.2-inch TFT screen with 800-by-600 resolution. The iPad sports a 1GHz processor, 256MB of RAM, a maximum 64GB hard drive, and a 9.7-inch LED backlit display with 1024 by 768 resolution.
