Finally, an iPad case I like
June 8th, 2010 at 8:11 pm ETThe iPad cases available so far have been pretty dismal affairs, with the exception of the folding Apple case that’s backordered forever and ever. When I bought my iPad, the best of the not-so-good options available was the bright red Speck PixelShield. I like the built-in handle on the Speck, but as a fortysomething-year-old man with a Real Grownup Job I just feel a little ridiculous walking into meetings carrying something that looks like a potholder from an East German kitchen circa 1979. (Incidentally, don’t try clicking that link on an iPad; the site’s in Flash. They’ve been made aware of the irony, probably a couple thousand times, and will have a new site up real soon.)
So it was with not a little joy that I watched Kevin Tofel’s video review of the Macally BOOKSTAND case. Not only is this made of masculine gray or black microfiber with leather trim; it also folds up neatly, in the same triangular way that the Apple case does, into a typing support and into a landscape viewing stand. I’ll be stopping by J&R tomorrow to pick one of these up.
