IPad case, where are you???
Was doing some research today on an IPad case as I still don’t have one. The guys at the office got the Apple one, but I don’t really like it as it’s very cheap feeling, but I do love that it converts into the stand for the IPad. So I looked at hard/soft cases, soft sleeves, folio, folio/book-stand cases and I’m leaning towards getting protection and the book-stand functionality with a few choices I’ll show here:
1. Incase convertible book jacket – protects the IPad all the time and gives 3 viewing angles when you’re at a table. It’s close to what Apple released, but from what I’m seeing in the reviews, it’s of much better quality and people like it.
2. Macally Bookstand – Very similar to Apple case, but I like the color more and it fully exposes the edges of the ipad. No reviews to speak of, so I’m hesitate to take on for the team and buy it. The note that the IPad isn’t included is from the legal department :)
3. Marware Eco-Vue - This one is the most interesting of the 3 as it’s very slick looking, gives you the 2 bookstand options, but also throws in a hand-sleeve where you can hold the IPad like it’s a glove, check it out below:
I think the glove sleeve sells me on the Marware one, but I’m going to sleep on this on. So these are the one’s I’m thinking about, let me know what you’ve found or what you’re using for the IPad protection dilemma. I also found this article at PC World that discuss a bunch of companies that are creating cases/sleeve/ bookstands for the IPad, most of which I’ve never heard of. The custom ones are pretty cool, and there’s one in there that does decals :)
