The CueTab case struck me as having what so many cases are missing - optional methods of holding your iPad. You have to watch the video for yourselves to see the versatility of this design. Needless to say - I want one. The handle is the clincher. Who doesn't want a handle on their iPad?! I do! And I like the idea of the handle being used to hang your iPad for easy viewing, or to prop up the case. It does seem pretty complete. Join me in backing this one! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/202789185/cuetab-case-the-best-all-in-one-case-for-ipad

Before last week's Apple event introducing iBooks 2, there were interactive books for children that were apps. We have reviewed several here on Justanothergeeksite.

I recently went to an appointment where the woman whose office we were in was a new iPad owner. For Christmas, her mother had gotten her a stand for her iPad, and after one look, I knew I had to have it, too.       The XStand from Brookstone holds your iPad either without a case, or with some cases. (Large cases like the Otterbox, or those with flip covers do not fit.) My iPad is currently in the XStand with no case, although the one I first saw was in a case. The stand itself is beautiful, and worthy of holding an iPad. The base comes in black or red (I couldn't resist the red), the arm is chrome,...

Since getting my iPad and discovering CaptureNotes 2, I have been looking for a really good stylus. It's a shame to have to write with your finger in big block letters like a pre-schooler when you have an app as great as CaptureNotes on which to write. My friend Leanna over at TiPb recommended the Wacom stylus, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend $30 for what looked exactly like every other stylus out there. So I kept looking until I stumbled upon the Jot stylus from Adonit. While they have both a Jot and Jot Pro model, I figured I could get away without the rubber grip on the pro model,...
