CloudPad Case

Also of note is the so-called "CloudPad" case for the pen. The case, made from the now nearly extinct Wuhu Island Koulouniniu Wood, has been valued at $2,198,700. The lining of the case, made from the Santorian Silkworm, has 100,000 threads per inch. As there is only one known Santorian Silkworm in existence, the lining took 129 years to make. The case was suposedly the holder for the famous all diamond pen used for all the signatures on the Wuhu Island Declaration of Independance. A special international law exemption was required to allow Circle to cross international borders, as cross-border Koulouniniu Wood commerce has been banned due to it's scarcity.
