Looking for a recommendation for a case. I'm not interested in a keyboard case so the apple one is out. The folio Apple case is stupidly expensive.
I had the official smart cover on my iPad Air 2. Is there anything similar at a sensible price?

The otter box case Apple sell looks good to me but again silly price

Has anyone managed to connect their new ipad directly, by USB C, to a 5Div?

I’ve been trying to find a image online with iPad Air 2 beside iPad Pro 11 to see the different in size screen wise

Here you go

Rooky007 · 21 Nov 2018 at 16:01

Excellent thanks mate you like it. Worthy upgrade see difference? What your main use

Rilot · 21 Nov 2018 at 16:10

My useage is mainly consumption. Forums, reddit, News, general browsing. Yes, it's a massive difference. The Air 2 feels like wading through molasses in comparison.

Rooky007 · 21 Nov 2018 at 16:14

So the speed is massively seen just by doing those task. Wow. You got pencil?

Rilot · 21 Nov 2018 at 16:20

Yes, the performance is obvious immediately. No, I don't have the pencil.

Rooky007 · 21 Nov 2018 at 21:30

Have you decided what case you getting yet.. I think I am going to try the 11 inch first and see if it will do what i want and if it big enough for LR CC as I do have a MBP and iMac too

Cheers Rilot :cool:

I have the Air 2 and I'm looking to upgrade to the 11" 2018 Pro. Movies, browsing, books and email being my main usage.

Check out the Otterbox Symmetry Series 360 for the ipad Pro 11" only at Apple. I'll go with this one me thinks

If very bring back their £100 off offer tomorrow I'm buying one :-)

Rooky007 · 22 Nov 2018 at 11:22

I find my air 2 does every day things like email, internet movies etc fine.

Only reason I would upgrade to the pro is for photo using LR cc and the pencil

Rilot · 22 Nov 2018 at 12:29

Oh, the Air 2 does do it fine I agree, but the difference in performance is staggering between the two.

Totally agree.. anyone using one of these without making good use of the pencil simply has far too much disposable income!

Anyone had any experience with these "paper like" screen protectors to rough up the glass texture?

Whoop · 23 Nov 2018 at 11:38

I see the Logitech Crayon is no longer education only, does any have any experience with it?

I'm getting one because I like the design better, face recognition sounds good also, do they have a second method to unlock if this feature plays up?

I have some staff discount, so I may be able to get an 11" 256gb wifi model for £735 possibly, will find out on Monday.

You need to have a PIN/password set to be able to enable FaceID, so there's always that to fall back on also.

Yes, I’ve used a couple of different brands, but always ended up removing them.
They work well with the pencil, but the rest of the time they always make the screen feel a little fuzzy and you loose the overall sharpness.
If you use it primarily for drawings and writing and not much else, probably worth a try, but for me, it wasn’t the right thing.

I picked up a cheap case from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07H79HC18/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It fits perfectly and looks great. It uses the same magnetic attachment as the official Apple folio case.
