MANHATTAN — Just call it his iHolster.
One of two men suspected in a string of armed robberies in Greenwich Village, SoHo and the Upper West Side stashed his gun in high-end fashion — inside an iPad case, cops say.
Dwight Littlejohn, 45, was arrested on New Year's Day and charged with first-degree robbery after hiding a silver handgun inside a case intended for the pricey hand-held computer, according to the criminal complaint.
Littlejohn, who was with an accomplice, walked into Spot doggie daycare and animal grooming at 105 W. 72nd St. about 5 p.m. Nov. 11 and placed the iPad case on the counter, a store employee told police, according to the complaint.
He opened the case with the gun inside and instructed the employee to open the cash register, the complaint states. He and his sidekick made off with an undisclosed amount of money.
Littlejohn also was charged in an earlier robbery at EZ Pawn Corp. at 200 W. 14th St. near Seventh Avenue.
On Oct. 20, Littlejohn and an accomplice asked an employee to see a piece of jewelry, according to the complaint.
When the employee asked Littlejohn for identification, he pulled a semiautomatic pistol from a bag and said, "This is my ID. Give me the chains in the front window," the complaint states. The pair fled with jewelry and cash.
Littlejohn was nabbed after an anonymous tip to police, the New York Post reported. He has been arrested more than 30 times over the past three decades, the Post reported.
The robberies of EZ Pawn Corp. and Spot were part of a crime pattern that started in October and includes five other Greenwich Village, SoHo and Upper West Side businesses, according to the NYPD.
In October, Littlejohn and an accomplice reportedly struck The Pleasure Chest, a Seventh Avenue sex shop, and the high-end West Broadway leather goods store Braccialini.
In November, the pair hit the upscale Christopher Street women's accessory shop M Z Wallace, Westside Rare and Used Books on Broadway and West 81st Street, and the MacDougal Street location of Creperie, police said.
