I knew I wanted one even before I knew what I wanted to use it for—I absolutely love my iPad2. I want to use it every chance I get—but until now, I wasn't able to use it in the bathtub or sitting by a swimming pool. The waterproof locking case for iPad and iPad2 from DND Distribution securely locks on three sides so that no water is able to seep in.

One thing that comes to mind is a travel guide used for just one destination of many. On our most recent trip to this USA, Greg and I went to 7 different states and over 12 different cities. Can you imagine how heavy and huge our suitcases would have been if we'd taken travel guides with us for each of those? It is … [Read more...]

Venture iPad2 Case From Case-Mate Review
August 16, 2011 2 Comments
It would be pretty fair to say that the Venture Case from Case-Mate is my favourite iPad2 case so far! I like how the case encloses my iPad2 entirely, so that I know the screen and backside are well-protected. This may not be necessary at home, but when taking my iPad2 outside, it's nice to know that I can safely pop the whole thing in to my bag and be off. The Venture case is really comfortable to hold, because it is slightly padded, with soft felt-like material inside. I love the combination … [Read more...]
