Coffee Goes Great With This iPad Cover

/

Simeon over at Two Lives Left became dissatisfied with the uneven wear on his Apple brown leather iPad cover. So he came up with a plan to fix it. In his own words:

"I had a wonderful, horrible idea: I’d stain the cover with coffee…"

"I had no idea whether this would work. But I reasoned at worst I’d end up with an interesting experiment and an utterly ruined Smart Cover. And even if it looked terrible, it would still function as a cover."

I added one of his photos of the finished product here. It does look great. What I want to know is: does it smell good too?

You can read his full blog post here to learn about the trial and error process he went though to get to the final result.
