I definitely like the case that doubles as a stand, but I already have a tablet that acts as my kitchen companion as well as my exercise, work, and fun companion. My job at DISH requires that I travel a lot, so I like that I have just one tablet for my own personal use. When I do spend some time cooking, I stream my DVR recordings of cooking shows onto my tablet with DISH Anywhere. Not only do I feel like I’m cooking with the pros, but I the food I prepare tastes delicious!
