The fleece sweater that kept you warm a few seasons ago can actually protect your new iPad from cracking after a drop. The team at ReFleece recycles used fleece garments and plastic bottles to create hard protective cases that maintain the original coloring of the garment. The owners, Jennifer Feller and Sam Palmer, first met while working together at Patagonia store, where they noticed a habit of stockpiling worn fleece. After a few trials they developed a hot pressing system to shape the fleece and make it sturdy enough to protect a fragile device. 

Back ReFleece's new Kickstarter campaign and receive the very personal reward of your own fleece turned into a protective case.
