Make Your Own (Paper) iPad

Thanks to Jess Silverstone, the lead artist for Revolutionary Concepts who put together a cut-out of the Apple iPad that you can print yourself.

The cutout is provided in two separate PNG files (iPad Front 664KB and iPad Rear 377KB). Each cutout can fit on standard A4 (8 x 11 inches) paper, but your printer has to be capable of borderless printing to achieve close to actual iPad dimensions. The real iPad dimensions are 9.56 inches x 7.47 inches x 0.5 inches. They’ve even included a cutout of the A4 processor you can include for “improved performance”.

Here’s what it looks like put together:

I just might take the time to do this, yeah, I’m that nerdy. Anyone else interested in faking your friends with some paper ipads? I bet they will be fooled from a distance because it looks so real. The biggest let down about the paper is it has corners that stick out from the sides. It’s better than nothing though.

Now if only I could find a decent printer to print this out on. That’s the best way for it to look real is to have a really great printer with amazingly epic ink. Any takers?
