A look at GelaSkins for iPad 2

If you have had other iOS devices then this iPad accessory maker is not new to you. GelaSkins creates protective iPad 2 covers and skins are one of the best in the iPad accessories industry. GelaSkins designs very stylish vinyl decals which can pimp out your iPad 2 more than the typical clear protectors. We really like this iPad 2 accessory because they are easy to apply to your iPad.  Gelaskins are a dry application so you can remove them countless times without any residue left on your iPad 2. GelaSkins for the iPad 2 are high quality, beautiful, with a plethora of designs by artists.  It is really great to be able to design your own custom iPad 2 cover so that it reflects you. The Gelaskins website has a tool that allows you to upload your own photograph or artwork. Then you crop and adjust it to your liking bam you are ready for Gelaskins to produce your one-of-a-kind iPad skin. ZAGG also offers some great iPad 2 accessories that protect your device including ZAGGskins but Gelaskins has probably the best selection of stylish designs to choose from. GelaSkins is based and manufactured in Ontario, Canada so you will need to allow an extra few days for standard delivery.  Continue Reading →

Review: iPad 2 Case by XGear

We all love the sleek design of both the iPad 2 and the Smart Cover. What Apple seems to imply with their Smart Cover is that the back of the iPad 2 device can go unprotected. Not all of us are comfortable with that because we dropped our iPad 1st generation and saw the damage. A friend of mine dropped his iPad and bent it pretty good while it was covered in a full case. So if you are like me you might wish that the innovative Smart Cover offered more rear protection in an iPad 2 case. XGear is a case maker and has a come up with a new iPad 2 case design that works along with the Apple Smart Cover. It is called XGear Smart Cover enhancer and the name gives it away in that it compliments the Smart Cover. Basically, XGear took the Apple design concept a little further so as to offer more protection on the back of the device. They kept in step with Apple be creating a thin and low profile design for this iPad 2 case. We like this idea and it is quick and easy to install with your iPad 2 without giving up any of the features that the Apple Smart cover offers. The XGear ipad 2 case comes in black and clear colors and the best price we could find was on Amazon for $16.60.  (See video demo below the fold) Continue Reading →

5 Best iPad 2 cases

Tuff-Luv Marrakesh iPad 2 Case

The Tuff-Luv Marrakesh case is handmade by using the special leatherette and high grade textured textile.This is a very unique iPad 2 case which blends the exotic Eastern style alongside the iPad 2 design.
The motifs on the front cover of this iPad 2 case will turn some heads. It also features a patented stand functionality which provide multiple viewing angles. This is a versatile feature which is important to find the most comfortable viewing for movies and typing position for chats. The case also uses the iPad 2′s magnetic auto sleep/wake up function using the new Stasis. This case is priced at $79.99.

 

ZaggMate iPad 2 Case Stand with Keyboard

If you’re looking at iPad 2 cases, might as well get one that has a keyboard nestled inside. This Logitech Zaggmate Keyboard Case for iPad 2 protects your iPad while offering you a stand and keyboard at the same time.
The Zaggmate with Keyboard is essentially an aluminum hardshell case that fits onto the front of the iPad for travel, leaving the tablet’s back exposed. But inside the Zaggmate is a thin, Bluetooth keyboard and a single-position stand. When you’re ready to type, you remove your iPad from the Zaggmate, prop it up on the stand, and get to work.  The inside edges of the Zaggmate are covered in a thin layer of foam that holds the iPad and iPad 2 securely in place–it takes some effort to pry off the case which is a little irritating at a $99 price.

 

Miniot Wooden iPad 2 Case

The Miniot iPad 2 cover is simply elegant and gorgeous. This Holland made iPad 2 case is carved from a single piece of wood and not only does it look gorgeous but it’s also extremely useful. The cover acts in much the same way as Apple’s Smart Cover. It uses magnets to hold the case snugly to the device and opening and closing it will awaken or put the iPad 2 to sleep. One uniqueness of this iPad 2 case is when the Miniot cover folds into a cylinder which makes it perfect for watching videos or using it in portrait mode. We really like the beauty of this iPad 2 case with prices starting at $70.

 

Case-Mate The Walkabout iPad Leather Case

Case-Mate has a nice premium level quality folio case for iPad and iPad 2 models which is made from brown leather layered onto a molded plastic. This is getting more difficult with eash case review. We really like the Case Mate Walkabout  a lot also. This is one of the better iPad 2 cases on the market. To close the case, flip the leather closed and two magnets (Apple approved safe) hold it tight, keeping out dirt and moisture. The use of supple leather and good looks will satisfy most people with this Walkabout iPad 2 case. The hand-crafted artistry will make your iPad 2 purr inside  safely with this traditional luxury style especially with a price of $59.99

Grove iPad 2 case

GroveMade has a great handcrafted ipad 2 Case that uses a bamboo back and leather cover on the front flap. I have seen many different types of iPad cases so far, this is a nice one and we especially like that it can be customized for each buyer.
The Grove iPad 2 Case combines a hard bamboo back and a fold-over leather cover that uses similar technology and design to the Apple Smart Cover. The magnets in the leather cover wake the iPad when opened and put it to sleep when closed, and the case folds into a stand for either typing or viewing. The authentic bamboo body gives you full access to all the iPad’s connectors. The Grovemade is available in both amber or natural bamboo colors.  Probably the best  part of all in this iPad 2 case is the elegantly tanned leather cover that offers you the ability to add your own artwork to the design that will be laser-engraved on your iPad 2 case. Prices start at $99.
