Hey guys,

Quick one for you...got an iPad 2 on it's way to me. I want a sleeve for it, got a smart cover as well (pretty essential) but I want a soft sleeve to slide it in for when it goes in my man bag when I travel to/from work. Don't want the back of it knocking against the keys etc

Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Jake

I've got one of these:

It's a Be-ez LA Robe Allure sleeve. Memory foam outer with a soft fleece inner, also inner protection from the zipper. Fits nicely with and without the Smart Cover. Very pleased for £21.99

Nice one, I just ordered one, plus a sim card and a cutter.

Getting the pad tonight, can't wait

Enjoy it! I really like my zoogue case genius, you can have a look at that one as well if like folio cases

Just had a knomo Slim Sleeve delivered. It's VERY nice and even nicer the fact it can be had for £12.99 from a local high street electronics shop rather than the normal £35.

Guys where is the cheapest place to pick up an iPad - i'm after the base 16gb Wi-fi model?

 

[Turbo-G]

Its the same price everywhere pretty much. Only reduction you'll get is via discount such as quidco etc tbh.

Well I've finally gone and joined the iPad club, after toying with the idea for ages, and I wish I'd done it earlier.

In the process of hunting though the app store and getting iPad versions of some apps i use on the phone as well as the usual iPad specific stuff. Love the Times app as well as the T3 mag app.

I can see my app store bill being quite high this month.

Apologies for the potentially retarded question but how do I quickly send files from my laptop to my ipad?

Using dropbox seems retardedly long-winded. I know I can't just drag and drop but is there an app or something that can help me share over my home network or usb or something?

What kind of files?

Are there any better browser apps than safari?

Looks good?

Will certainly try it out!

I liked this comment -

A bit like owning a ferrari but wanting a drive in a ford focus.

Can anyone recommend me a few accessories for an original iPad?

I'm after a sleeve for use whilst out and about, a stand for use in the kitchen and advice on the best place to buy AppleCare for it.

So far my thoughts are the Belkin Pleat Sleeve, Padprop*and eBay. Any advance on those?

*I appreciate this is limiting the iPad to one particular orientation, but I think that's how the overwhelming majority of kitchen-related apps seem to work. More flexible recommendations welcomed though.
