The one thing I dislike about using my iPad is the on-screen keyboard, and it seems many people agree with me – evidenced by the sheer number of Bluetooth keyboards and keyboard cases on the iPad accessories market. Typing a quick email on an iPad is fine, but typing anything longer is slow and error-filled. [...]

Although I use my iPad 2 everyday, I don’t always carry it with me when I’m out of the house. When I do want to take it along, I usually have to carry a second bag because I don’t want to wedge it in my normal handbag that’s already loaded up with my stuff. I’ve [...]

Note: I had been accidentally sent a case for the original iPad when I wrote this review, and I had drawn some erroneous conclusions based on the fit of the iPad 2 in the wrong case. I have received the proper case, and I have revised my review and inserted corrected pictures. As I have [...]

After wanting one for what felt like forever, I finally bought an iPad 2. All I can say is that it was worth the wait. I am an unapologetic Apple fanboy (Mac user since 1988) and the iPad just makes me more impossible to be around when the discussion turns to tech. But despite the [...]

Most keyboard cases for iPad 2 are hard-to-hold book-style cases or have the keyboard in a separate piece that snaps over the iPad 2. The new Fold-Up Keyboard for iPad 2 from Logitech fits over your iPad 2 like a silicone case would (top image), though it will add more thickness and weight than silicone [...]

There are many people that roll their eyes when iPad and other tablet owners pair a physical Bluetooth keyboard with their device instead of using the onscreen keyboard. They say why don’t you just buy a laptop if you want a real keyboard… I say there’s nothing wrong with having the option to trick out [...]

While I wait for my iPad 2 to be delivered, I thought I’d shop around for a case. I ordered one of the covers with it, but I may be carrying this iPad with me more than the original, so I will probably want to protect it a bit more. I happened upon a great [...]

As you may have heard, today is the release day for the Apple iPad 2. Luckily, my husband, Butch, was already scheduled for vacation today, so he was kind enough to sacrifice half his day waiting in line at the local Apple store.
