There is a flap that tucks underneath your iPad to secure it in place, as well as access to all the important ports and buttons. Like all of the items in this collection, it is not flashy or particularly outstanding, however it is made very well it’s priced to move. The AmazonBasics Flip Book is available for $20.00.

First Impressions

The first thing we said when we got this case was “Whoa! Now that’s a rugged iPad case!” Looking more like a leather journal than your traditional iPad cover with two leather straps that secure it closed on the back, this case, like all their products, begs to be used and abused. It’s a hefty hunk of animal flesh with full grain leather, the thickest and best quality you will likely ever see. The front is sexy and blank, with just the Saddleback logo branded in the corner, and the back looks awesome with the straps holding it closed. This is a case that will age with you over time and develop it’s own unique character and look. It’s one of a kind, it’s made of the highest possible quality materials, and it will probably outlast your iPad and maybe even you!

Saddleback iPad Case Overview

Made from 100% thick full grain boot leather and lined with pigskin lining which is among the strongest leathers in the world. This leather will age gracefully and develop it’s own character based on how you use it. Over time and with a few months of use, this case will become distinctly yours and unlike any other. The thread is the same industrial heavy gauge marine grade thread that they use in all their products which is made to withstand tons of abuse. There are no breakable parts and the case is designed to withstand some significant impacts. We feel very safe with our iPad in this baby.

The case provides access to all the ports and important buttons (although the home button is hidden behind a thin layer of leather, though it’s still easily pressed. Also Saddleback’s iPad case allows the iPad to be charged while closed (a very important feature). It securely closes with two straps that fit through four tight leather rings on the back. Those same straps can be used to turn the case into a stand for viewing movies or typing.

Our Final Verdict

We tender our genuine apologies to those of you who are reading this and do not already have an iPad… to be fair- you were warned. We are HUGE fans of Saddleback and this is one truly amazing and rugged iPad case. It will take a heavy beating and keep your Apple tablet safe. Also, this case will most certainly outlast your iPad, and if it does not it’s backed by Saddleback’s legendary 100 year warranty! It will certainly draw a lot of envious looks wherever you take it, and it continues to blow people away when we show it to them.

Saddleback Leather iPad Sleeve

If you are using an iPad hard case, or just sporting the invisiblSHIELD or LEATHERskin by Zagg, then likely you will be looking into getting a nice sleeve to protect your iPad during transport and when not in use. We are big fans of Saddleback’s super rugged and useful leather iPad sleeve. It’s hard core and made from super thick leather. The sleeve is thick enough and has enough of a lip around all the edges to provide significant protection for your iPad should it fall. There’s also two pouches on the outside for smaller accessories like your charger and headphones so you can keep everything close together.

Ah the iPad bag, the infamous murse that is just big enough to hold an iPad but just small enough to look girly. This may not be an issue if you happen to be of the fairer gender, but for those of us who don’t smell like rose petals and strawberries 24/7 choosing an iPad bag can cause much consternation.

This bag is perfect for any occasion, professional or play. It’s a great bag that has a ton of functionality and it looks pretty darn slick too!

iPad Stands

The iPad is a great device for reading, watching movies, checking out the latest youtube videos, and even as a super high tech digital picture frame. An iPad stand is an essential accessory if you are planning to travel with your iPad. Here’s our selection of the best iPad stands of 2010:

iPad Kickstand

Our iPad stand of choice would have to be the iPad Kickstand for $17.95. This adjustable stand folds up into a tiny package for easy transport and unfolds like a tripod to hold your iPad at any angle you like. It’s an ingenious little piece of engineering with a simple design that just works. You can’t go wrong with this iPad stand.

However, if you are looking for the ULTIMATE iPad stand we’d have to point you in the direction of the Hypermac iPad Battery Stand for $129.95. This iPad stand blows away the competition by combining an dual angled iPad stand with a built in 16 hour 11,000 mAH iPad battery. This bad boy holds enough gigawatts to recharge your iPad 1.6 times while on the road! It’s military grade lithium ion cells support up to 1000 recharges, and it is everything you need to keep working without worrying about recharging… almost ever. It’s by far the best value if you want a high quality iPad stand and the best external iPad battery we’ve seen yet! We’re also big fans of the Wedgepad iPad bean bag stand that makes reading your iPad in bed a breeze, and doubles as a comfy headrest in case you forgot your pillow! If you are on a tight budget looking for some stocking stuffers, then you can’t go wrong with the wallet friendly Perfect iPad Stand for $4.50 that is everything you need for less than a vente double shot caramel machiato with extra whipped cream.

iPad Keyboards

Everybody who owns an iPad knows that to do some serious work on it, you are going to need a keyboard. Thankfully there are a large variety of bluetooth keyboards that are small, compact, and very very useful.

This is one sexy little number that’s sure to draw envious stares from all your coworkers, and not just because of it’s bright colors. Sena has outdone themselves this time with their iPad Keyboard Folio for just $149! The runner up is the iGo Stowaway Ultra Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for $140 thanks to it’s high quality and compact size, it is slightly cheaper as well, although it still is a highly functional and compact keyboard for the iPad. Of course, you could always go with the larger Apple bluetooth keyboard for $69 which is the cheapest of them all but extremely high in quality. The only downside is that it’s not exactly compact and does not fold. Finally there is the Freedom Pro which is similar to the iGo but even cheaper still, it has gotten some mixed reviews online, but we love ours! Either way, a bluetooth keyboard is essential if your special someone wants or needs to do some serious work on their iPad.

A good hard case for the iPad will maintain a thin profile while offering a measure of protection to your tablet. It should also help improve your grip, whether with the fancy rubberized backing, or other kinds of texture since the last thing you want is to have it slip out of your hands! Hard cases are great because they provide instant access to the device without bothering with a portfolio cover. We do recommend that no matter what hard case you choose, you still cover the iPad with a Zagg invisibleSHIELD iPad screen protector to keep it in pristine condition no matter what. It’s that extra layer of scratch and dent protection that will make all the difference down the line. It’s also far and away better then the screen protectors included with these hard shell cases and is compatible with most anything you buy for your iPad.

If we were to suggest one particular iPad Hard Shell case it would without a doubt be the OtterBox Defender. See our in-depth hands-on review of the OtterBox Defender complete with loads of high resolution pictures!

So there’s a big enough selection of iPad hard cases to keep you guys and gals busy for a while. Remember that no matter what hard shell case or cover you end up getting, do yourself and your iPad a favor and get an invisibleSHIELD screen protector. We don’t keep saying that because they suck!

Zagg is a company specializing in keeping your gadgets safe so when Apple announced the iPad it was natural for them to enter the market. Their innovative invisibleSHIELD quickly gained a following (heck, we love them), and from there they expanded their product line to include leatherSKINS, custom skins, and audio and power accessories. The new sportLEATHER baseball and football skin brings Zagg’s iPad protection expertise together with the look and feel of real sports paraphernalia.

The baseball sportLEATHER skin for the iPad is made from real leather and the red baseball stitching is modeled after real life. The look and feel of the stiching is very nice and the soft leather skin feels great. The football skin has bumps and stitching to mimic a football and gives the iPad a nice grip. Installation is a snap since they are applied much like a sticker. Add in a legendary invisibleSHIELD on the front for just about the best iPad scratch and scuff protection money can buy.

If you’re a sports fan, or know a sports nut, then the sportsLEATHER by Zagg is the way to go. At $54.99 the sportsLEATHER is a bit more expensive than most skins but the thickness, quality, look and feel are top notch. Add in free shipping to the lower 48 states and a 45 day money back guarantee and the Zagg sportLEATHER truly knocks it out of the park! Order one today straight from Zagg.

Use the Zagg coupon code ZAGG20 to get 20% off everything site wide right now!

ZAGG is a company committed to offering innovative ways to improve the relationship between people and their beloved gadgets. They specialize in looking at what products are out there, identifying their weaknesses, listening to the customers, and improving on the design to the point of near perfection. The Zagg invisibleSHIELD screen protector for the iPad is one of those nearly perfect designs. We have used them for years on our Apple devices, and can confidently say that they are absolutely essential if you want to protect your purchase, maintain its value, keep it in pristine condition, and show it off to the world.

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear…

This is not your ordinary screen protector. The invisibleSHIELD comes stock with more features than some luxury cars. Optically clear and virtually indestructible, this truly is invisible protection for the iPad. Constructed from a nano-memory technology that is self healing and military grade, you are guaranteed some of the toughest protection available. This is the same material that is used to coat high-speed helicopter blades from dirt, dust, and debris. Not only is it self healing, it helps reduce the glare and appearance of fingerprints on the screen, is easy to install, and it also makes your iPad more drop resistant. The Zagg invisibleSHIELD is custom cut and designed to cover even the sides and corners of the iPad completely, protecting it from all angles. Add to that the special adhesive material that leaves no traces of residue and a lifetime replacement guarantee, there simply isn’t anything better on the market! Stay far far away from those cheap screen protectors that cost pennies and leave a strange residue on the iPad’s screen, discolor the display, scratch easy, and make a strange feeling texture on the surface.

Currently the invisibleSHIELD screen protector for the iPad is available in either the Full body easy install version or the Full body Maximum Coverage version (recommended) for $39.99. You can also get the front and back cover separate if you like. We are big fans of adding a touch of distinction to our iPads by using the Zagg genuine leather LEATHERskin for the iPad on the back, and a Zagg invisibleSHIELD for the front. It makes your iPad look and feel that much classier. Even if you are currently using a cover, case, or sleeve for your iPad, it can still get scratches and scuffs from the dust and dirt that get inside. Do yourself or your loved one a favor and get the invisibleSHIELD for the iPad right away. You will not only be protecting your investment, you will also be maintaining its value by keeping it in its original pristine condition.

Venture Case Stand For iPad

The Venture iPad Case and Stand is the newest addition to their iPad lineup. It’s a slick professional looking iPad stand crafted out of black polyurethane material that is an outstanding example of form meeting function. There is a nice hint of color and styling with the green accent piping along the borders. The cover folds back and props the iPad up into multiple viewing angles for easy use. It’s a useful, practical iPad case and stand combination that keeps your tablet safe and looking good in any setting. From the boardroom to your favorite cafe, this case/stand combo is the bees knees. The Venture iPad Case is available for $89.99 right now. Check it out!

Case Mate Gelli Checkmate Case

The most colorful model, the iPad Gelli Checkmate Case, sports a colorful pattern on the back, which really makes it stand out from more traditional and discrete looking cases that disguise your iPad rather than showing it off. Appealing to the stylish and artsy iPad user, Case-mate has produced the Gelli in a variety of colors and patterns. It’s made of a flexible thermoplastic that will protect the iPad from minor impact, scuffs and scratches. This is a bit softer and lighter than silicone or rubber cases and of course gives you complete access to the ports. The Gelli case is competitively priced similar to iPad touch skins from other companies at $39.99 but definitely has a lot more color, something refreshing to see in a world of cases that mostly look the same.

iPad Hybrid Tough Case

Next in line is the iPad Hybrid Tough Case. Giving you greater protection than the Gelli this dual layer case is made for those who plan to take their iPad on a hiking trip where dust and sand might make an attempt to assault those sensitive electronic innards. The entire unit is wrapped in a silicone skin to help it absorb any kind of impact. After that, you get a tough but light thermoplastic covering patterned with a small grid of dots to give you a better grip. The case is incredibly thin and manages to keep our iPad safe from outside forces while still giving you full access to use it. This combined approach should help those with an active lifestyle be sure their iPad is safely protected along the way. Still priced around the average for other cases at $49.99 this new approach to a tough case should fit the bill for many users.

The Express Nylon iPad Case

In contrast to the Gelli, maybe you don’t want to show off your iPad to the world. Maybe where you are or where you have to go, you don’t want everyone knowing you’re carrying a five hundred dollar piece of equipment in your briefcase. The cheapest of Case-Mate’s offerings, The Express, is very discrete and minimal, but provide decent covering for your iPad and keeps it safe in transit. This is not a case designed to protect your iPad while you use it, or keep stand up to strong hits or falls, but it will keep it safe from scratches and scuffs if it’s tossed into a briefcase or book bag. Additionally, it will protect it from liquid spills or rain with its splash-resistant nylon outer shell. This folio style iPad flip case has a magnetic clip to make sure it stays closed when not in use and $34.99 price will attract those who just want something basic.

The Express Nylon Vertical Flip Case

The second version of the Nylon Express iPad case is the vertical flip case. It is a simple sleeve with all the innovations you’d expect from an experienced company like Case Mate. This sleeve is minimalist yes, but don’t let that fool you, this case packs a punch. It’s made of ballistic nylon that is splash resistant and very strong. It has a magnetic closure at the top so there’s no buckles or snaps or *gasp* velcro to deal with. We quite like that there is access at the bottom for docking and charging your iPad, even when the sleeve is closed, so you don’t need to remove it from it’s protective cover to charge it up. It’s reasonably priced as well at $34.99.

The Traveler iPad Folio

Following up on the same concept of the Express, is The Traveler, iPad Felt Portfolio with leather casing. This fancier version of the Express gives you the same basic discrete covering that appears like a leather portfolio. However, the express is basically just a pocket to hold your iPad, not one that lets you use it at the same time. The Traveler holds your iPad inside in a usable position. The Traveler opens up like a book with your iPad firmly secured on one side and a space to write, store paper pens and business cards on the other half. The felt and leather combination looks good and the magnetic clip gives you basic protection while still being usable. At only ten dollars more than the express, this $49.99 entry is great for the on-the-go user.

The Walkabout Leather iPad Sleeve

The high-end model from Case-Mate is the Walkabout. This is kind of like the fancy version of basic iPad carrying sleeve, a leather jacket for your iPad. Made of strong premium grade leather, this is perfect for protecting your iPad from the elements. It’s easy to underestimate the protection you get from leather, both from liquids and heat and cold, not to mention the style element. This is not a case which allows you to use your iPad while it’s in the case, but it is a great way to keep it safe while traversing the Australian bush. This is definitely a unique and stylish way to carry your iPad, all you need is your digideroo to make it complete. The Traveler and the Gelli should both appeal to those who don’t want a plain looking case for their equipment.

Case-Mate has a record of producing quality products for hand-helds, and the newest models look to be no exception. Though nothing revolutionary or overly unique, these cases will provide iPad users with a variety of functional and stylish cases to pick from when the iPad is released. You can learn more about Case Mate from their official Case Mate blog.

Cheap iPad Stylus

Yet another great stocking stuffer and cheap iPad gift is an iPad stylus. Any iPad owner will tell you just how useful these little guys can be, and they truly are one of the essential iPad accessories any iPad owner should buy. You will find a huge selection of cheap iPad styluses out there, however: buyer beware! Not every cheap iPad stylus is created equal. Don’t waste your money on the crappy styluses that sell for next to nothing and fall apart or damage your iPad’s screen. There’s plenty of midrange options out there that are cheap and high quality! In our book, there’s nothing better than the Pogo Sketch stylus. It’s slick, small, easy to store, and it works like a charm. It’s our iPad stylus of choice, and once you use it we’re sure you’ll love it too! There’s a few close runners up though that fall in the less than $20 price range, and you can find them below:

Well how about a set of awesome portable iPad speakers! Now, for the ultimate wireless iPad sound experience, there’s nothing better than the Sonos music system, however, most of us don’t have that kind of cash to shell out four our in home sound system.
