by on Dec.15, 2010, under iPad Accessories, iPad Cases

 The iPad is much more than just a portable tablet computer – there are times where you’ll want it to stay put, and propping it up can really add to its functionality. For those who want to use it at a desk, or relax while they read or watch movies, the iPad stand is a necessary accessory.

Cases That Double As Stands: The simplest iPad stands you can buy are multi-functional – they’re actually iPad folio cases that can be folded back to double as a stand. This is useful if you just need a stand every once in a while to watch a movie, or you want a cost effective option. A popular example of this kind of stand is the Acase Deluxe Leather Multi-View Case.

iPad Docks: Docks are designed to make charging more convenient, but they also double as a stand for the iPad.  Apple sells a standard dock or a dock that also includes a full-sized external keyboard for those who want to use their iPad more like a computer and monitor.

Multimedia Multi-Purpose Wood Stand:  A new trend when it comes to playing music is to download the sheet music digitally – much like eBooks. The iPad makes this even more attractive thanks to stands that have been developed to allow musicians to comfortably read those sheets without ever printing them out! The Multimedia Multi-Purpose Wood Stand is perfect for iPads and traditional sheet music.

iPad Microphone Stand: Following on from the point above, Apple have also come up with a microphone that includes a built in stand for the iPad – perfect for singers or even those who need notes when giving a presentation. You can even buy a foot pedal to turn the pages with without getting distracted from your performance!

Other Types of iPad Stand: The stands mentioned are all rather specialist products. If you just want something that’ll stand your iPad on the desk – to make reading, typing or watching videos easier – then there are plenty of products make for this specific purpose. Some of the most popular include the Griffin A-Frame Tabletop Stand for iPad:

 and the Stabile Steel iPad Stand:

Choosing An iPad Sleeve That Matches Your Style: Four Of The Best

by on Nov.25, 2010, under iPad Accessories

When you’ve bought a gadget as valuable as the iPad, it’s well worth investing a little more cash to keep it protected. iPad sleeves are one of the simplest options for keeping it scratch and dirt-free, and they come in a wide range of different styles and designs.

Standard iPad Sleeves

Standard iPad sleeves are the simplest option for those who want to protect their iPad. They simply have an open top ready for you to slip your iPad into. Some sleeves don’t have any kind of closure whereas others have a strap, zip or a button to keep the iPad securely inside. The type you choose will depend on how you carry it around, and whether the iPad is likely to slip out in your bag or not. Some of the top selling sleeves include:

Griffin Elan Sleeve for iPad:  This sleeve comes with the benefit of a tab closure to make sure the iPad doesn’t slip out, and is the perfect fit to ensure your iPad is well protected inside.

Be-ez LA robe Allure Sleeve for iPad:  This is a simple yet stylish iPad sleeve that’s designed with a few extra features to protect your gadget. The memory foam material will help to absorb any shocks, and the inner lining protects it even further.

Envelope iPad Sleeves

These are half way between simple sleeves and full cases – they’re designed in the shape of an envelope with a fold-over flap to keep the iPad safely inside. Most of these cases are generally thin, but they have a great unique look about them. Some of the best include:

Timbuk2 iPad Envelope Sleeve:  This is a simple option that comes in a few different colors to get you started.

Marware Eco-Envi for iPad:  This sleeve is made from leather, making it look sophisticated, and boasts eco credentials thanks to the fact that the leather is made without harmful substances.

When it comes to finding a great gift for the iPad lover in your life, or choosing something that’ll help your own iPad to look like one of a kind, custom iPad accessories are the perfect way to do this. As the hottest gadget of 2010 and beyond, the good news is that there is no shortage of accessory options for the trendy portable computer.

Custom iPad Cases: The most popular custom cases are often designed by independent sellers who use the internet as a way to sell to people all over the world. A favorite is Etsy.com, though you can also find these custom made cases in small shops or even from individual sellers on larger sites such as Amazon.com. Many will be willing to take your own tastes into account if you make a custom request. Here are a few top options from Etsy.com:

Custom iPad Decorations: You can still decorate your iPad with personal messages without having to buy a custom made case. Again, many independent sellers have come up with designs that go directly onto the iPad body to make it completely unique. Here is a selection of our favorites:
* Keep Calm and Carry on decal (which can be personalized) on Etsy
* GelaSkins removable art print on Amazon.com


Customizing the iPad Itself: Why stop at custom iPad accessories when you could customize the body of the iPad itself? If you’re buying an iPad as a gift for someone special, then you can mark the occasion by getting it engraved. Apple offer this for iPods, and it’s rumored they’ll soon start offering it again for the iPad. In the meantime, you can contact any engraving service to see if they’ll work with your iPad.

Custom iPad Stands: There are a number of stands available to buy for the iPad, but if you want your desk to look a little more exciting then why not choose a custom designed option? Here’s a selection of some of the most interesting from Etsy:
* Stiletto Shoe iPad stand

iPad owners should take a look at the iPad Invisible Shield by ZAGG. Protecting your iPad should be taken seriously. As good as Apple makes their devices, they are not meant to handle any type of daily unintentional abuse.  iPad Cases and Scratch protectors were made with the purpose of keeping your iPad in top shape and ensuring maximum protection. This article will explore reasons why protecting your device is so vital.

No one intentionally scratches their iPad with keys or drops it on the floor. No one would purposely spill coffee on their iPad while at a coffee place. Of course, nobody would know their offsprings would borrow the iPad from them and place it on the floor as they watch their favorite cartoons on it.
