If you were a kid in the 80s or 90s, you know you remember the Trapper Keeper. That magical binder device that would keep all of your school supplies organized?

Well, now the Trapper Keeper is back, but it's been updated for current technology. It is now an iPad case.

The universal case is made by the mobile accessory maker Kensington, in partnership with school supply brand Mead.

It's a little bit different (and smaller) than the original Trapper Keeper. Instead of Velcro on the flap to keep it closed, this one's magnetic. It also allows your iPad to stand up (why couldn't binders do that?). But it still has the old school Trapper Keeper logo, so you can look super cool when you carry your tablet around.

It comes in a lot of different colors and patterns, even an old school Pee Chee version, and one that looks like a typical composition notebook (but why carry a regular notebook, when you can carry an iPad disguised as a notebook?).

You can pre-order it now, and it will be $24.99 for the 8-inch version, and $29.99 for one for your 10-inch tablet. They begin shipping in September.

If you're still dreaming about the days of the original Trapper Keeper, you can reminisce while watching this playlist of the original commercials.

And if you still can't get over Trapper Keepers, you can even buy a new one. The reissued versions are a little different from the originals (snaps instead of Velcro), but they still accomplish the same goals.
