The new and improved DODOcase for iPad 2 is sure to be just as amazing! Very little beats the smell, texture, and heft of a finely bound book but with the swiftly rising popularity of eReaders like the iPad, is this visceral pleasure going the way of the dodo? Fear not! DODOcase is bringing back the primal pleasure of hardback books to the electronic age with their self-titled book bound <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-DODOcase" target="_blank">DODOcase</a>. Read on for a sneak peak of this unique iPad 2 case&#8230;<span id="more-2651"></span><br /> <a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-DODOcase"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4458" title="dodocase-ipad-of-year" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/dodocase-ipad-of-year.png" alt="" width="581" height="157" /></a></p><h3>Hand Crafted, USA Made, iPad 2 Case</h3><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-DODOcase"><img class="size-full wp-image-2654 alignright" style="margin: 5px;" title="DODOcase-Bamboo" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/DODOcase-Bamboo.jpg" alt="DODOcase Bamboo" width="280" height="185" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-DODOcase"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2657" style="clear: right; margin: 5px;" title="DODOcase-Detail" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/DODOcase-Detail.jpg" alt="DODOcase Detail" width="280" height="185" /></a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-DODOcase"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3815" style="clear: right; margin: 5px;" title="dodocase-ipad-2-case" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dodocase-ipad-2-case.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="185" /></a>The DODOcase is handcrafted by book binding artisans in San Francisco. They use natural materials and traditional book binding methods to create an actual bound book case for the iPad. Unlike most other folder-over folio style cases this case doesn&#8217;t use straps or a frame to secure the iPad 2 in place. Instead, the DODOcase uses pure unadulterated craftsmanship to produce a fit tight enough to keep it secured. The &#8220;frame&#8221; is hand carved from bamboo which is a soft flexible wood that won&#8217;t scratch or mar the aluminum frame of the iPad.</p><h3>Now More Durable</h3><p>The material used to cover the iPad 2 case is a black Moroccan cloth covering a newly improved solid core bamboo with a 4 piece tray design that will improve durability and strengthen the case as a whole. This case is custom crafted to match the exact curvature of the iPad 2 and protect it from every angle.</p><p>All the ports and buttons around the edge of the iPad are accessible while the iPad is inside the DODOcase, including the dock connector. Be advised that while Apple&#8217;s included headphones work with the DODOcase some other third party headphones with larger plugs will not work out of the box. DODOcase states that a little sandpaper or x-acto knife fixes this easily enough though but it&#8217;s still something to keep in mind.</p><p>The inch thick spine of the DODOcase means that it can double nicely as an iPad 2 stand. With a little care the case can be folded back to prop the iPad up at approximately 60-70 degrees. This angle is great for watching movies, viewing pictures, or using an external bluetooth keyboard. The cover can also be folded completely over the back so that the spine creates a slight incline that is very comfortable for typing on the touch screen. The fact that this handcrafted cover includes these features is commendable because many plastic molded and machine made (boring!) covers do not!</p><h3>Surprisingly Affordable!</h3><p>So what does this little piece of art cost? Considering it&#8217;s handmade I would have though it could easily go for upwards of $100. In fact, this case sells for $59.95 for the red version, or for $5 more you can choose from the other 11 (!!!) colors, which is extremely competitive considering that the DODOcase is relatively unique in the iPad 2 accessories market. Also, be sure not to miss out on the <strong>limited iPad 2 Special Edition DODOcase for $89.95</strong> made from black and white moroccan cloth! This would make a great gift for the discerning iPad user even that if user is yourself! <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-DODOcase" target="_blank">Get your DODOCase now!</a>.</p><h3><a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-bookback">BOOKBack Minimalist iPad Cover</a></h3><p>Many love their iPad 2 and they dig the sleek look and feel of it’s lines, curves, and light weight. It’s a very tactile device that looks and feels great. The original DodoCase doesn’t typically appeal to the minimalist crowd, but their most recent offering the BOOKback just might! The BOOKback from DODOCase is made from the same warm, supple, and rich feeling Moroccan fabric that they use with their cases. It has a peel and stick adhesive backing to it that covers and protects the back of your iPad like a second skin. The fabric is grippy and supple at the same time. Combine this with the Apple Smart Cover, and you’ve got a super combination! We are currently doing this on our iPads and it’s just awesome not having to worry about scratching the back of the iPad, or having it slip out of our hands while using it, while still maintaining the sleekness of Apple engineering. Plus, the BOOKBack is only $19.95! <a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/dodocase-bookback">Get your hands on the BOOKBack for iPad 2 today!</a></p><p><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Black-On-Black.jpg" rel="lightbox[2651]"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4546" title="DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Black-On-Black" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Black-On-Black-115x115.jpg" alt="" width="115" height="115" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Red-On-Black.jpg" rel="lightbox[2651]"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4548" title="DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Red-On-Black" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Red-On-Black-115x115.jpg" alt="" width="115" height="115" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover.jpg" rel="lightbox[2651]"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4545" title="DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-115x115.jpg" alt="DODOCase BOOKBack iPad 2 Cover" width="115" height="115" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Detail.jpg" rel="lightbox[2651]"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4547" title="DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Detail" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/DODOCase-BOOKBack-iPad-2-Cover-Detail-115x115.jpg" alt="" width="115" height="115" /></a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/general/dodocase-a-uniqu-book-bound-ipad-case/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>8</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>ZAGGmate Review (and love letter…) Now For iPad 2!</title><link>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-covers/ipad-hard-covers/zaggmate-review-and-love-letter/</link> <comments>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-covers/ipad-hard-covers/zaggmate-review-and-love-letter/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 30 Jun 2011 17:00:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[iPad 2 Cases]]></category> <category><![CDATA[iPad Hard Covers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[iPad Keyboards]]></category> <category><![CDATA[iPad Hard Cover]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ipad keyboard case combination]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.ipadaccessories.com/?p=3207</guid> <description><![CDATA[Update 2: Order ZaggMate for iPad 2 Now!

Also, ZaggMate is MC Hammer&#8217;s iPad case of choice!</strong></span> The geniuses at Zagg have done it again and released what we are excited to say is the seasons MUST HAVE iPad accessory: The <strong><a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/zaggmate-w-keyboard">ZAGGmate iPad case with keyboard</a></strong>. It’s not often that we get entirely blown away by an accessory for the iPad, but this one has left us shell shocked and in awe. The perfect compliment to your iPad, this is the first iPad keyboard case combo that we have seen yet that has done it right. In fact, it’s the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen to date as well! It’s so right and so perfect that we already wonder how we ever used our iPad without it! Check out the review below&#8230;<span id="more-3207"></span><br /> <a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/zaggmate-w-keyboard"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3662" title="iPad-case-with-keyboard" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iPad-case-with-keyboard.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="250" /></a></p><div style="clear: right;"><div id="attachment_3217" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Inside.jpg" rel="lightbox[3207]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3217" title="ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Inside" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Inside-200x133.jpg" alt="ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Inside" width="200" height="133" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ZAGGmate with Keyboard</p></div></div><h3>The iPad’s New Best Friend</h3><p>Our first impression of the ZAGGmate was: “Where’s the rest of it?” This iPad case is unlike anything else we’ve seen on the market to date and the designers at Zagg worked hard to literally rethink what an iPad case could be. This is an iPad case that doesn’t cover the whole iPad, but rather just covers the iPad’s screen, and leaves the back of the tablet exposed. The color and design is so perfectly complimentary to the iPad, it’s almost as if the two were meant to be together from the start. Sleek, stylish, unique, and just plain super awesome, we are in love with the ZAGGmate.</p><div style="clear: right;"><div id="attachment_3233" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Cover-Inside-Angle-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[3207]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3233" title="ZAGGmate-Cover-Inside-Angle-2" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Cover-Inside-Angle-2-200x133.jpg" alt="ZAGGmate-Cover-Inside-Angle-2" width="200" height="133" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">ZAGGmate Cover Only</p></div></div><h3>ZAGGmate Features (We Think We’re In Love&#8230;)</h3><p>Constructed from aircraft grade aluminum and bead-blasted to an anodized finish, the ZAGGmate perfectly matches the finish on the iPad. Also, thanks to it’s unique design, the whole case when covering your iPad only adds about a quarter of an inch to the overall thickness, so you could quickly forget that it’s even there. Your iPad is well protected in this case with military grade high-density padding to protect the screen and edges. It weighs a mere 12.8 ounces with the keyboard as well, so it adds no noticeable bulk or heaviness to your setup. On the inside of the cover only model is an innovative stand that allows a whopping 10 different angles for viewing and typing in any conceivable position. The ZAGGmate with keyboard supports both portrait and landscape orientations.</p><div style="clear: right;"><div id="attachment_3226" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Keyboard-Layout.jpg" rel="lightbox[3207]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3226" title="ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Keyboard-Layout" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Keyboard-Layout-200x133.jpg" alt="ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Keyboard-Layout" width="200" height="133" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Great Layout And Feel</p></div></div><p>The keyboard is easily the best bluetooth keyboard we’ve seen yet apart from Apple’s own much more bulky version. The layout and feel of the keys are eons better than anything we’ve tested yet. Highly responsive, snappy keys make typing on this keyboard easy and fast. The keyboard even has unique function keys on it that work with the iPad. It’s got a huge 510 mAH rechargeable battery inside that will last for several weeks without needing a recharge vie the included microUSB cable. There’s even four rubber feet included in the package if you want to attach them to the bottom of your case to prevent slippage while typing.</p><div style="clear: right;"><div id="attachment_3229" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Landscape-Back.jpg" rel="lightbox[3207]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3229" title="ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Landscape-Back" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Landscape-Back-200x133.jpg" alt="ZAGGmate-Keyboard-Landscape-Back" width="200" height="133" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Stand, Hard Cover, and Keyboard</p></div></div><h3>ZAGGmate Is The #1 iPad Accessory In 2010 (you heard it here first!)</h3><p>The ZAGGmate is easily the thinnest hard shell protection for the iPad we’ve seen yet. It’s also the most stylish and attractive looking one as well. We have to wonder why somebody else didn’t think to do an anodized aluminum case like this before. The keyboard inside the ZAGGmate is just superb and the perfect companion to the iPad. And for the price, it beats out just about every single one if its (inferior) competitors on the market, so we are very confident in saying: This is THE best iPad accessory we have seen in 2010, and it’s sure to be hugely in demand this season. The biggest challenge we predict Zagg will have is keeping this baby in stock.</p><div style="clear: right;"><div id="attachment_3224" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Keyboard-iPad-Thickness.jpg" rel="lightbox[3207]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3224" title="ZAGGmate-Keyboard-iPad-Thickness" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ZAGGmate-Keyboard-iPad-Thickness-200x133.jpg" alt="ZAGGmate-Keyboard-iPad-Thickness" width="200" height="133" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Thin, Sleek, and Stylish</p></div></div><p>If you are as big of a protection freak as we are, then you’ll also be interested to know that you can pick up an invisibleSHIELD cover for your ZAGGmate case as well.

They understand what many companies do not. Maybe other companies do understand, but few manage to pull it off as consistently as Case Mate. What’s am I talking about? They understand the consumer! Consumers buy to identify. When you shop for an iPad cover, you aren’t necessarily searching for the best way to cover and protect your tablet, you are searching for a case and iPad cover that expresses you, that matches with your self image, that personifies how you want others to perceive you. This iPad folio called the <a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-case-mate-venture-brown">iPad Venture Case</a> does just that. Check out our full review inside.<span id="more-3570"></span></p><p>Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this folio for the iPad to be as cool as it actually was. After being disappointed time and again by the shear volume of low quality iPad folios and cases, designed by 5 year olds and constructed by 12 year olds, I’ve found it best to limit my expectations. Happily, Case Mate blew my expectations out of the water with the Venture case.</p><p><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Case-Mate-Venture-Case-Front.jpg" rel="lightbox[3570]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3614" title="Case-Mate-Venture-Case-Front" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Case-Mate-Venture-Case-Front-200x133.jpg" alt="Case-Mate-Venture-Case-Front" width="200" height="133" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Case-Mate-Venture-Stand.jpg" rel="lightbox[3570]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3619" style="clear: right;" title="Case-Mate-Venture-Stand" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Case-Mate-Venture-Stand-200x133.jpg" alt="Case-Mate-Venture-Stand" width="200" height="133" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Case-Mate-Venture-Underside.jpg" rel="lightbox[3570]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3623" style="clear: right;" title="Case-Mate-Venture-Underside" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Case-Mate-Venture-Underside-200x133.jpg" alt="Case-Mate-Venture-Underside" width="200" height="133" /></a>The Venture case is an folio for the iPad that is all about style, it looks slick on the outside from the the good looking faux-leather finishes and the trendy accent colors to the small silver snap button that has the Case Mate logo lasered onto it. Ours was a brown leather color with navy blue accents, and it looks outstanding. Easily something I could see using on a daily basis and proudly sporting at my local coffee shop of choice.</p><p>Inside the folio, the iPad is held in with a form fit slip in design with a handy tab closure to secure your iPad from ever slipping out. All the ports and buttons are accessible perfectly as well, and the impact resistant shell does a great job protecting the iPad from any bumps it might receive. But the fun doesn’t stop there, the case also has a hidden built-in stand and presentation easel! The way Case Mate included an iPad stand in this case was incredibly clever and cool: When you open the case, there are two more buttons holding another flap behind the iPad. Pop those open and the Venture case transforms into a very handy stand. It is held at a great angle, perfect for couch usage while laying down, or using in your lap while you sit.</p><p>The only thing this iPad folio was missing would be a small folder on the inside of the front cover to hold some documents, but let’s face it, how often do you actually use that feature anyway on other cases?</p><p>Available in a large variety of colors and accents from a <a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/recommends-case-mate-venture-reptile">texturized reptile with pink highlights</a> to gunmetal, gold, brown, green, and their classic Tron-like Black with green accents.

With the current low end marketplace being flooded with cheap, low quality, trashy accessories, Amazon is stepping in and creating a collection of consumer electronic “basics” that combine quality and low prices with an overall focus on value. They have an impressive array of basic iPad cases and covers to choose from, and the prices are almost too good to be true. Check out the AmazonBasics iPad Accessories after the jump!<span id="more-3688"></span><br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044UIWLQ/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20"><br /><h3><img class="alignleft" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/31HpP3hdzHL._AA300_.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" />AmazonBasics Premium iPad Case</h3><p></a></p><p>This is a well constructed basic black iPad case that snaps shut and also turns into an iPad stand. The front and back panels are reinforced for structure, and the interior is lined with a soft microfiber. Flipping it open you can quickly turn it into an iPad stand as well. The AmazonBasics impressed logo and the white stitching is the only additional style added to this case. It’s basic, it’s well made, and it’s priced right. Plus, as with all of AmazonBasics products, it comes with a 1 year warranty. Check out the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044UIWLQ/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20">AmazonBasics Premium iPad Case for $19.99</a>.<br clear="all" /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VPE1PW/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20"><br /><h3><img class="alignleft" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/41gfzr40VgL._AA300_.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" />AmazonBasics iPad Sleeve</h3><p></a></p><p>Here’s a basic iPad sleeve that will do the trick nicely. It’s got a sturdy zipper around three sides and it’s made with high quality neoprene materials that won’t wear out 5 minutes after you get them in the mail. Inside is a pretty orange microfiber along with elastic straps to hold your iPad in place. It’s water resistant, it’s durable, and it’s cheap! Plus it is backed by the standard 1 year warranty and comes in certified frustration free packaging. Why not? The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VPE1PW/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20">AmazonBasics iPad Sleeve is available for $9.61</a>.<br clear="all" /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003Y74AWU/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20"><br /><h3><img class="alignleft" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/41D6-Y2lwdL._SL500_AA300_.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="175" />AmazonBasics Flip Book iPad Folio</h3><p></a></p><p>The Flip Book Jacket is a leather iPad case that looks well designed and attractive, while being priced to move. It’s similar to Apple’s iPad case in that it covers the front, then flips back to turn into a stand with two different viewing angles. 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 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003Y74AWU/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20">AmazonBasics Flip Book is available for $20.00</a>. <br clear="all" /></p><p><img src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/B0044UIWLQ_01-200x118.jpg" alt="" title="B0044UIWLQ_01" width="200" height="118" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3689" />This is just three of the many items in the AmazonBasics collection for the iPad. There is also a good looking <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003Y74AX4/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20">leather ipad sleeve for $20</a> designed to be attractive, durable, and portable. Additionally there is the black <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003Y74AXY/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20">Silicone iPad skin for $15</a>, and the rather good looking <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003Y74AXE/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20">Clear Protective Case with Rubber Grips for $15</a> as well. All of these items are backed by a 1 year warranty and Amazon’s impressive and trustworthy brand name. It’s interesting to see the company enter the physical marketplace for accessories, and it’s proof of just how popular the iPad really is to see one of the internet’s biggest online marketplaces gearing up to provide accessories for it.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-cases/amazonbasics-ipad-accessory-collection/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Otterbox Defender iPad Hard Case Review</title><link>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-covers/ipad-silicone-covers/otterbox-defender-ipad-case-review/</link> <comments>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-covers/ipad-silicone-covers/otterbox-defender-ipad-case-review/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Dec 2010 05:09:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>DaveO</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[iPad Hard Covers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[iPad Silicone Covers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[iPad Stands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hard Case]]></category> <category><![CDATA[OtterBox]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Silicone Case]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.ipadaccessories.com/?p=2022</guid> <description><![CDATA[Get 10% off your entire order and free shipping at Otterbox using this discount code: amipic1010p Hurry because this offer expires very soon!!

Read on to see if this case manages to make your hard-bodied and soft-touch iPad fantasies come true&#8230;<span id="more-2022"></span></p><h3>A Little Otter History</h3><p><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Cloth.jpg" rel="lightbox[2022]"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2036" title="OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Cloth" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Cloth-200x133.jpg" alt="OtterBox Cloth" width="200" height="133" /></a>OtterBox was formed in 1998 by Curt Richardson and their first product offering was designed to be waterproof. Curt and his wife later used this fact and named their brand new company after the fun and waterproof mammal, the Otter. Later, OtterBox expanded their product line into 4 distinct offerings: the Impact series, the Commuter series, the Defender series, and their classic Waterproof series. That brings us to today&#8217;s product review, which is the Defender series for the iPad. (We&#8217;ve also done a review on the smaller, lighter, and less intense <a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-covers/ipad-silicone-covers/otterbox-commuter-ipad-case-review" target="_self">OtterBox Commuter iPad Case</a>).</p><h3>First Impressions&#8230;</h3><p><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Box-Contents-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[2022]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2034" title="OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Box-Contents-2" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Box-Contents-2-200x133.jpg" alt="OtterBox Defender Box Contents" width="200" height="133" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Installation-Instructions.jpg" rel="lightbox[2022]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2046" style="clear: right;" title="OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Installation-Instructions" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Installation-Instructions-200x100.jpg" alt="OtterBox Defender Installation Instructions" width="200" height="100" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Power-Button-Detail.jpg" rel="lightbox[2022]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2050" style="clear: right;" title="OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Power-Button-Detail" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Power-Button-Detail-200x133.jpg" alt="OtterBox Defender Power Button And Indents" width="200" height="133" /></a>It&#8217;s apparent from the moment the bright yellow box is opened that this case isn&#8217;t messin&#8217; around. Included in the package is the 3-layer polycarbonate and silicone case, a hard polycarbonate cover, a cleaning cloth, a clear adhesive screen protector, a cardboard squeegee, and instructions in pictorial form all packaged in a black paper pulp tray. The actual case is make up of 4 pieces: a soft silicone outer layer, a two piece hard plastic inner shell, and a hard polycarbonate cover with a trick up its sleeve. The whole case weighs in at 12 ounces of hardcore iPad protection (340 grams for our metric friends).</p><p>Installation is straight forward enough with the included picture instructions. First, the clear screen protector is installed with the aid of the cardboard squeegee and (thoughtfully included) cleaning cloth. Then the two piece hard carbonate case is snapped together. There is a felt type coating inside the two pieces to protect the iPad from damage from the case while inside. After the case is assembled, the silicone skin is wrapped around the whole assembly and wiggled into position. The fit is very (very) tight so the iPad isn&#8217;t prone to rattle around in the case or get scratched up from the case itself. The whole iPad plus case weighs in at over 2 pounds and feels built like a tank!</p><p>The outer polycarbonate hard cover is secured in place with an innovative bump-and-indent system. There are 4 hard nodules poking out from the silicone skin with small indents. There are 4 matching wings on the outer shell with small bumps that lock into the indents quite securely. The cover can be snapped on the back for normal use and snapped onto the front over the screen for impervious protection during transit. Finally, 4 silicone pads on the surface of the hard cover secures your iPad in place on flat surfaces. No more knocking the iPad off the table!</p><h3>To Our Impression</h3><p><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Back-Installed.jpg" rel="lightbox[2022]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2031" title="OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Back-Installed" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Back-Installed-200x133.jpg" alt="OtterBox Defender Apple Logo" width="200" height="133" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Dock-Detail.jpg" rel="lightbox[2022]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2037" style="clear: right;" title="OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Dock-Detail" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Dock-Detail-200x133.jpg" alt="OtterBox Defender Dock Hatch" width="200" height="133" /></a><a href="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Stand-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[2022]"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2052" style="clear: right;" title="OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Stand-1" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/OtterBox-Defender-iPad-Stand-1-200x133.jpg" alt="OtterBox Defender Integrated Stand" width="200" height="133" /></a>The whole package is extremely well made, well designed, and complements the iPad&#8217;s style very well. The soft silicone skin gives a really nice feel to the iPad and provides a solid grip during use. One nice touch is that the Apple logo on the back of the iPad peeks out from a clear membrane. While OtterBox designed the Defender series for maximum protection, they also designed it for maximum use. You see, each port and button is accessible through the silicone skin which helps keep dust and dirt from getting inside the iPad. Even the home button is completely protected by a nice and responsive silicone plug. OtterBox&#8217;s genius engineers even designed the hard case to be used with Apple&#8217;s official dock. On the back is a removable hatch that is large enough to accommodate Apple&#8217;s dock. This hatch lets the iPad charge up and sync while still encased in the case.</p><p>If all this functionality wasn&#8217;t enough, OtterBox included one additional feature that really took it from ultimate protection to ultimate case. On the hard cover&#8217;s inside is a built in scissor stand. By utilizing two of the hard cover&#8217;s wings the iPad can be propped up in landscape orientation for serious work or serious play. This attention to design is carried throughout the whole case and really makes the OtterBox worth the price tag.</p><p>So how well does the Defender defend the iPad? Well, the included screen protector saves the iPad&#8217;s big and beautiful screen from scratches, the hard polycarbonate skeleton and cover protects it from impacts, and the soft outer silicone skin cushions it from occasional drops and falls. This case is like three cases in one!</p><h3>So What&#8217;s The Catch?</h3><p>The biggest negative that this case has going for it is also its biggest strength; the fact that it&#8217;s so tough and intense. If the iPad was general issue for the military there is no doubt that the OtterBox Defender would be the case that it came in. No other case on the market even comes close (well, Otterbox&#8217;s Commuter series) to the level of protection, durability, and functionality that the Defender series provides. If you demand ultimate protection for your iPad, then the <strong><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3833644-10800164?sid=ot-df-rv-bt" target="_top" rel="nofollow">OtterBox Defender is the case you simply have to buy</a></strong>.

For precision, speed, and quality, there simply is no better iPad stylus out there than the Ten One Pogo Sketch stylus. We’ve reviewed it in the past, and it continues to prove to be the best on the market. It’s small size makes it easily stowed away, especially when you use the Intrepid Bags Vagabond iPad sleeve pen holder, and it’s tiny tip makes it incredibly precise on the screen. If you are an artist looking to get into digital painting, a Pogo stylus is an essential tool you simply can’t do without.

You can express yourself and still protect your gadget without adding unnecessary bulk to this little gem of a tablet. Check out our roundup of iPad hard cases below&#8230;<span id="more-1970"></span></p><p>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 <a href="http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-covers/ipad-invisible-shield-zagg">Zagg invisibleSHIELD iPad screen protector</a> to keep it in pristine condition no matter what.

We’ve been waiting for this day ever since the iPad was first released, and finally it’s here. What’s so exciting about this new Moleskine iPad cover? This elegant and simple black notebook is an icon of the artist and inventor, an indispensable companion of the digital nomad, it is nothing short of truly epic. And now it’s on an iPad! Yes, we are excited. Check out our review&#8230;<span id="more-2623"></span></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/8862936826/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2893 alignleft" title="moleskine-icover" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/moleskine-icover-200x200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a></strong></span>The new <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/8862936826/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20">Moleskine iPad case</a> is a hybrid, more than just a fancy black iPad case, it is also a full blown notebook as well. To say this is handy would be an understatement. To quote the press release, these cases are “conceived as analog-digital ultra-portable workstations for the contemporary nomads.” They feature the classic Moleskine styling with sleek round corners, smooth black finish, and a black elastic band to secure it shut. The inner lining is a soft suede that protects your iPad from scratches and impacts. The iPad is securely held in place by a full sleeve around the edges while still giving access to all the ports. When open, the opposite side of this iPad case holds a Volant notebook with plain blank pages. Perfect for jotting down thoughts and details as you are on the go.</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/8862936826/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2894 alignright" title="moleskine-ipad-folio" src="http://c575889.r89.cf2.rackcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/moleskine-ipad-folio-200x200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>The Moleskine is an indispensable part of our 21st century culture. Used by creative geniuses for generations the Moleskine has an impressive pedigree. Ask any creative professional and they will tell you they have 2-3 of these at any given moment in various sizes. Even in this day and age of touch screens, smart phones, and wireless internet anywhere on the planet, the Moleskine will never be replaced or outdated, it is in fact: essential. What at first may appear a curious dichotomy, the paper notebook’s presence in this iPad case is in fact the most natural companion one could imagine. We cannot wait until we can secure one for ourselves.</p><p>Moleskine has just posted this case and it&#8217;s new photos along with the price on Amazon. The case looks great in the photos, we like the security tab on the edge to make sure your iPad does not slip out, and the soft suede interior looks simply luxurious! The price is quite hefty though- $89.95 for pre-order. However, if you pre-order now you get their special &#8221; Pre-Order Price Guarantee&#8221; Which basically means if you order now and if the Amazon.com price  decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release  date, you&#8217;ll receive the lowest price. So hopefully enough people will pre-order this case to help drop the price a bit. Either way, the new <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/8862936826/?tag=appleipadaccessories-20">Moleskine iCover iPad Case</a> is a thing of beauty!</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-cases/moleskine-folio-ipad-cover-review/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Ultimate iPad Screen Protector- Zagg InvisibleSHIELD</title><link>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-covers/ipad-invisible-shield-zagg/</link> <comments>http://www.ipadaccessories.com/ipad-covers/ipad-invisible-shield-zagg/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 12 Sep 2010 12:02:58 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>DaveO</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[iPad Covers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[iPad Screen Protectors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ipad clear skin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ipad invisible shield]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ipad skin]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.ipadaccessories.com/?p=137</guid> <description><![CDATA[If there is one essential accessory for your iPad- it’s an iPad screen protector.
