Platforma LT (light) is a lot like the original Platforma (our iPad messenger bag), but the design of the flap is different. LT's front flap is made of a high-density nylon with a leather panel, and not entirely of leather. Otherwise Platforma and Platforma LT are virtually the same. We have a very limited number of Platformas LT available. If you were looking for our hands-free iPad carrying case Across, you may find it here.

A note about other tablets:
Please contact us. The interface plastic cover will need to be changed. We may be able to help you. We are a small company. We really care.
A note about the magnets:
We have done extensive testing, both with WiFi and with the 3G and found nothing alarming. We could not detect any problems in operation... Speed, reception, etc. were intact. The only drawback is the compass interference - and understandably so. GPS, 3G, WiFi, and everything else worked fine. Our credit cards were also perfectly fine after using the bags for many months. We continue to use the bags every single day.
However, if you are wearing a pacemaker, or another device sensitive to magnetic fields, please do not use the bag.
