The Second iPad Always Gets The Strongest Case

tracy33 — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:21:55 +0000

The iPad is a great device, but I found it rather fragile. It’s sad to say, but actually I’m at my second iPad already and it’s less than half year since launch. My first iPad had a terrible faith and that was mostly due to my animosity towards cases and skins of any kind. When I buy a gadget I like, I want to enjoy its shape, color and feel just as they are, without any interference. I enjoyed everything about my Apple iPad for about three days. Then I dropped it on the kitchen floor. Sadly enough, it landed on a corner, so it got seriously damaged. I was sorry, but we can’t turn back time, so I decided to get another iPad. This time I ordered the toughest case I could find: the Incipio Destroyer Overkill. I ordered it after I read a review here and after I shopped around some more and didn’t find anything similar. I like the Destroyer because it protects everything, corners included. I can’t wait to have it delivered. You can’t imagine how careful I am now with my second iPad. You would be too, I promise.

Question of the day:
Question of the day: Laptop fan is on the side. Should I buy a laptop cooler that blows air under or on the side as well?
Or does it make a difference if the fan of laptop is on the side and the cooler blows on the side as well?

Best answer:

Answer by cr ! 5h
Laptops get hot, even with the fan on the side. If you gona use the laptop for long hours, buying a cooler that sits underneath the laptop is wise choice, not only it cools the laptop but also keeps it running well and saves on battery power and less damage to hardware due to heat.

Answer by Manuel C
is better if you have it in a book bag, because in a sleeve you can drop it and in a book bag you are caring it on your back

Felted laptop bag materials

For big projects I prefer to use a shoebox to keep everything in one place. Have wanted to make this bag for a while but have no intention of keeping it once finished. Should bear a resemblance to the picture but with less crazy colours. I’ve chosen purple, grey, blue and white for my version.

Price will be around 0 if anybody is interested in nabbing this piece early.

Question of the day: where can i buy a laptop sleeve that TSA approved?
I’m travelling to the Phillipines on September.im bring a laptop with me.I had already a laptop bag but i guess TSA required now with the sleeve only for laptop bag.My question is where can i buy that sleeve only for my laptop?is it safe for my laptop to go to screening without the sleeve only since they don’t xray with my laptop bag with zippers
?

Best answer:

Answer by Just Jess
You are not *required* to use the new laptop sleeves for your computer. If you do not have a TSA friendly bag you just remove your computer from your computer bag. The new bags are just an option for people who travel frequently to use.

Here’s the info from the TSA http://www.tsa.gov/press/happenings/simplifying_laptop_bag_procedures.shtm

A few nice iPhone case images I found:

Belkin TuneSync works with iPhone (w/ case)

Got the Belkin TuneSync for iPod from Woot.com on sale. Works with the iPhone with the Incase casing (or any case) as long as you don’t use any of the supplied iPod dock adapters. Also functions as a USB 2.0 five port hub, and even comes with a power adapter for power hungry devices (huge adapter though).

Question of the day: Can you buy an iphone case for an ipod touch 2g and sill have it fit?
I want to buy the Oakley iPhone Case V.2 but I have an iPod Touch. Would it fit the same as cases made for the iPod Touch?

Best answer:

Answer by Ricky
the iPod touch will fit but the case will fit big on the iPod
(it lets dust and other stuff in there and it still gets scratched) so its almost useless

iTunes: “Reorder iPhone Applications” Concept – 04

Frame 4 of 9:

An iTunes add-on or feature update that would allow a user to rearrange and order their apps, and then upon sync, have all of the apps fall into that particular order.

This is currently only a concept. I’d love to make it a reality, so if you know of any Mac developers that could help, please contact me: www.behance.net/bthoma

Question from a reader:
Question of the day: What is the application on the iPhone where u can track gps on 5 numbers?
I cannot remember the name of the iPhone application where u can track the GPS location of 5 different cell phone/numbers Without them knowing can anyone help me out with this?

Best answer:

Answer by UFSanity
I don’t know of a program like that. Tracking programs normally notify the person, or they are used by parents to track their kids (other numbers on their account).

You can use a program like Loopt or Google Latitude to find your friends if they use it too… they have to choose to let you see where they are though.
