Griffin outs Binder Insert case for the iPad, brings Trapper Keepers for the 21st century for $25

Just in case you're not quite ready to rid your studies of tree pulp, Griffin has announced the Binder Insert case for your Five Star zipper notebook.

In order to get your learning setup just so, be ready to part with $24.99 in order to grab one.
