Nitrousbird Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Wife got me a 64GB iPad 1 for my birthday. It came with a cheapy aftermarket case that I hate and won't use. What I need: - Something for mostly home use. It will be used at home 95% of the time - Something that stays with it. I don't want just a sleeve to put it in - A case that turns into a stand would be ideal. Makes it easier if trying to keep it up for something, such as a instructions for doing something like in the garage, cooking, etc. - If there happens to be a little Bluetooth keyboard attached, I wouldn't be mad about it. I don't mind typing a little on it, but not for making big posts or anything like that. - Fairly modern looking. I don't want something vintage looking at all. - Price is a factor.

Earl1647545488 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Honestly, the Apple iPad case was great for me, and it did a great job protecting my iPad before I sold it. It's one of the cheaper cases, it's thin, and it can act as a stand for typing or for watching movies. I never dropped it, so I don't know how much it would protect it. The only problem with it was that it was a dust magnet. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC361ZM/B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I don't like any cases for the iPad, I think it defeats the idea of the iPad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I have the iFrogz ProVue and love it. Can take a beating, looks like a quality notebook cover thus fairly descreat when carrying it and it stands up in two positions. Using it now. http://ifrogz.com/product/IPAD-PRV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Depending on how long you can wait, I think I can hook you up on and ipad case at microcenter in the next few weeks. Discounts are close to 50% on most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I don't like any cases for the iPad, I think it defeats the idea of the iPad. I'm not loving the caseless feel of it. If I'm wearing shorts around the house, the metal back is very cold on my legs. The curved edges aren't the best to hold. I know I'll like it better with a case. http://evergreen-rentals.com/images/trashcan.jpg Have you ever used an iPad? My biggest complaint about Apple products is their price (and OSX being total shit). iPad is less expensive than other comparable tablets, and I've really enjoyed it so far. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/keyboards-mice/e65a/ And we have the winner. But instead of $59.99 + shipping (Amazon also sells it under another name for about the same price), I just ordered it for $35.99 shipped. I wasn't willing to pay $60+ for a case, but under $40 with a keyboard was hard to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FST94TSI Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I had the one with the keyboard built into it and several others that I tried over time and the one with the built in keyboard was a bit larger and took away from the slimness of the ipad but i still liked it considerably better due to the keyboard being nice for long posts and messages. I think you'll really be happy with your choice. I did find that also having a hard case for times when I used it in the garage or other potentially harsh areas was helpful. The hard cases are usually pretty cheap and offer alot of protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
