A new case has landed on Kickstarter that looks to take your iPad back in time and turn it into a fully functional Etch A Sketch. In case you have forgotten or are simply not old enough to remember, the Etch A Sketch was launched in the 1960’s and was a small tablet like slab with two knobs; one on each side. One knob drew a vertical line and the other a horizontal line on the screen. Turning both knobs together created a diagonal line.

Everyone can relate to an Etch A Sketch. It’s an enduring childhood memory. Now, you can re-experience Etch A Sketch on your iPad–and share the experience with your friends and family. 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.

The Etch A Sketch iPad case has an official license from the Ohio Art Company which owns the trademark. The project needs $ 75,000 of pledges before it will be funded and become a reality. If you want to get involved, you can pledge as little as $ 45 and become an early adopter.
