Unique leather Kindle & NOOK eReaders Sleeve

We believe in being proactive; creating products that you possibly don't even know you need - until you wish you had one.

Such is the case with this offering; a high quality leather sleeve sized to accept a Kindle or Nook eReader that we have lined with New Zealand's own unique natural anti-static fiber, from the hide of arguably our most noxious pest; the Australian brush-tailed possum.

This nasty wee beastie has no natural enemies (apart from man) and today runs rampant throughout New Zealand's unique flora - the bush. Arriving on these shores late in the 19th Century, it has been estimated that today there are more than 60 million possum living here and every night they munch their way through two container-ship-loads of foliage - that is thousands of tonnes of living forest destroyed - every single night.

On the plus side of the ledger, this particular breed (there are lots of different breeds of  possum around the world) grows a very dense pelt that is made up of millions of hollow stemmed hairs that actively (in some mysterious manner) protect sensitive electronics from damage in areas where static electricity can potentially build-up, such as public transportation.

This unique lining provides a safe and snug, plush interior to coddle and cuddle your eReader, keeping it very, very safe and secure.

This case is closed with our own single magnet clasp - one magnet captured between two pieces of steel. This method diminishes the effects of the magnet to further protect your eReader.

At a time when we  are getting seriously prepared to go into wholesale distribution with at least one major player with our consumer products, we are also realizing another goal; the maturing of our 'be-spoke' service.


This is where we take a specialist handheld device in heavy everyday use and put our own special spin on how best to protect it.

Take the above. It's an EFTPOS pin-pad as used in a drive-thru burger-bar scenario. You know the place; drive in, talk to the squawk-box, place your order, pay your money, collect the napkin and then the order and drive off as a satisfied customer.


Although most all manufacturers know that their devices need to be rugged and robust enough to handle the everyday stress of performing in a variety of situations, many cannot appreciate exactly how their machines will be used in every individual operational environment.


That's where Nutshell comes in; we deliver the 'last mile' in protection. The sort of stuff that the original developers never envisaged.


And after some 11 years we have grown to know what our customers' expect. A good, solid long-lasting solution that looks professional, and does the job; delivering protection in the field.

Making a real difference

Every  now and then we get messages back from our customers that really make us feel it is all worthwhile.

In these times of global meltdown (even if you do not believe the pundits) it is really reassuring to know that the work we do, and the products we provide, make a real difference to the people who put their faith in Nutshell.

For example, check out this blog from a recent customer who ordered a nutshell.

As a person who has been forced through circumstance to regularly inject himself with insulin to combat diabetes, Chris was a long time Nutshell customer who found that among the product we offer are several tailored to accommodate a variety of insulin pumps.

The testimonial he has provided is unsolicited...and we are very happy to know that for him, at least, our products really have made a difference.
