What is the most protective and useful iPad 2 case?

I recently got an iPad 2 and I was worried about only having the magnetized screen cover from apple. I’m planning on using this for school with a keyboard, and I would like a cover that can stand the iPad up, protect it, and if possible has the magnetized screen for easy sleeping and on when class is over.

I have looked at a lot of reviews online and I still can’t decide what the best iPad 2 case is.

What would you get in this situation?
I want a case, I do not want a cover plus a bag. Thanks, but I’ve already thought of that.

Are there any iPad 2 cases that cover the back of the iPad and have a flip out stand?

The only one I’ve found so far is this Speck one -

I don’t really like folio-style cases and would prefer an iPad case that just covers the back, but still has the convenient feature of a stand built in. I am considering the Speck one listed above, but would like to see my options.

Any good android tablets?

My birthday is coming up and my parents are willing to spend around $400 on me. I wanted an iPad but then I realized “What do I need that for? I already have an iPod.” so I was decided to go for an android tablet instead. There are quite a few of them out now and it’s kinda hard to sort the good from the bad. So, if you have used any that stand out from the rest, post ‘em below. Any suggestions or user reviews would be welcomed also. Thanks!

Should I get an iPad or a macbook?

Im thinking about getting either an iPad or a macbook. I already have an hp laptop but I obviously wanted the macbook due it being a greatly superior device. However, would I be better off just getting an iPad? They seem to be able to do just about everything and I have seen that you can get keyboards, stands, and other things that would make it function just as a computer.

any opinions?

Do you see yourself buying an ipad? why or why not?

Honestly, i couldn’t see myself buying one right now.

i almost see the 16gb ipad w/ wi-fi as almost a joke. It’s basically a big ipod touch (the smallness and convinience is what i like about the ipod touch anyways). Also, buying the 64gb with 3g ipad seems a little pricey by itself. I’m sure the people who are willing to pay the $800+ for that i’m sure are going to want to buy accesories that can lead it to be around $1,100. Who wants to pay that much for the ipad when they could get some of the best pcs, macs, notebooks, and macbooks for around the same price.

Even though it might not seem like Apple might have not created the next best gadget like it did with the creation of the ipod 8 years ago, i could see some good come out of this product. I think with some touch ups and some ideas from consumers, this could end up being a hit (yeah, i’m taking the long shot here). Lets say they work on the ipad, giving it the software to run any program on a pc or mac (or something like it) that utilize the touch screen capabilities (though not limited to them), use 3g (or maybe by that time, 4g) and throw in a free keyboard and stand (to make it into a monitor) with a hardrive of around 100gb for around $800. Now THAT would be a hit. I’m sure it people might even be willing to just let it replace their computers at home. Sure, hardrive space might be a problem, but millions of people already use external hardrives for their computers at home anyways. Use the hardrive for all your important files, and use the ipads storage for the fun stuff (or the important stuff on the go).

It seems almost that apple was just too excited to release the ipad to think of the capabilities it COULD have. So for now, i won’t be buying one, and i’m sure a lot of you out there will agree with me.

Tell me what YOU think =]
btw… i got some of my info off a yahoo article ( it didn’t ask for my sources =/ )

What kind of computer is this?

What is the thing called where it’s like a giant ipad that stands up straight? Its like a computer except theres no mouse or keyboard its just one giant touch screen. They use it on the newer episodes of Law & Order: SVU.

Apples new Ipad????!!!???!!!?

So i have a couple of questions about apples new Ipad.
1) when does it get released to the public to be able to be bought?
2) when you use it like at home and connect to wifi is it sorta slow like the ipod touch or does it go and work super duper fast like an normal computer?
3) can you buy a stand thing for it and turn it sideways and then have a wireless apple keyboard and mouse and use the ipad as just a screen?
4) does the little apple on the back of the ipad actually light up like the macbook laptops cuz im dissapointed my iphones apple doesnt light up like on icarly
5) does it only come in silver?

WHAT? now!!! i thought it didnt come out till like sometime in march! >:(

Is the Apple iPad worth it?

So as of right now I have a Compaq Presario laptop, I loved it for the first few months and then things went downhill. The charger would stop working constantly, the computer overheats everyday so I had to buy a fan for it ($40.00), and altogether the battery life is terrible. And yes everyone will say “oh just buy a new battery” but honestly I regret buying this laptop almost 100% and I don’t want to spend another dime on it. So now I am looking into the Apple iPad, it looks like it has everything I need for school. The biggest question I have is if it is worth buying? I would need to use it on a daily basis for schoolwork and other things like facebook. And maybe illaberate on your usage of the iPad to give me an idea of what i might be getting myself into. I was also wondering about the two different keyboards. I know that there is a wireless keyboard and a “dock” keyboard. Does the wireless one come with a dock to stand it up on? And from experience which keyboard would you recommend and why. Any answers would be awesome and I would prefer it if you answered only if you own an iPad so you know from hands on use if this is the right device for my basic needs. Thank you very much.
Oh, I am in high school right now so i frequently type essays and yes I do have a desktop in my house.
Thank you all for the wonderful answers and especially the person who wrote me a book off of their iPad. So as of right now I am leaning to get it because I do types essays here and there but I don’t even do it on my laptop now, I do it on the desktop. The limitation of the iPad for work use doesn’t bother me dues to the fact that having my laptop is pointless anyways. The cost is not a problem right now and it is not something I am worried about. I do need something more portable that I can take on the go because I too like to read several books at a time and would love to have something that carries several books at a time, and yes I have looked into the kindle etc. and found it to be a little cheaper than the iPad but the extra features make it sound worth buying. Once again thanks for all of the awesome answers. Have a goodnight.
