The first tablet most of us ever owned wasn’t the iPad. It was the Etch A Sketch.

A new project up for funding on Kickstarter, the Etcher is an iPad case with functioning Etch A Sketch knobs that turn your iPad into a real Etch A Sketch.

Etcher adds functional knobs to the iPad. As a user turns these knobs, lines appear on the iPad screen, exactly like the original Etch a Sketch. Improving on the original, users can save their drawings in digital format and share with friends and family over email and social media sites like Facebook.

It even erases when you shake it! (Just like Mitt Romney! :p )

Funding just started, so get one of the early-bird pledge-points while you can → Etcher on Kickstarter
