Maroo Moko II for the iPad 2

Rating: 8/10

Pros: Awesome leather folio case. Provides multiple viewing angles. Hard case allows good protection.

Cons: A little tough to get into the case. Stand mechanism could be a little better.

Overall: This is a great case overall and is among the best leather folio cases. It has a sharp professional look and will be a great pickup to protect your iPad. You can check it out on Maroo’s website.

iKeyboard: Touch Typing on the iPad

Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Brings touch typing to the iPad, slim and fits inconspicuously under a cover, available in black and white.
Cons: Expensive at $35, adhesive loses tackiness even after cleaning with recommended tape, buttons can be a little stiff until broken in.
Overall: The iKeyboard is an innovative invention that brings touch typing to the iPad.  Now everyone won’t need or like touch typing but those that rely on it in their profession will see the iKeyboard as a gift from the heavens. The iKeyboard is a bit pricey at $35 but makes up for that downfall in slim functionality. The iKeyboard fits nicely under a smart cover styled case and the auto sleep wake feature remains functional.

Kensington Black Belt Protection Band for iPad

Rating: 8/10
Pros: Really awesome, unique product. Provides a good amount of drop protection and provides good grip.
Cons: Does not protect back.
Overall: This is a really cool bumper for the iPad 2 and does everything it is advertised to do. You can check it out at Kensington’s website for $29.99.

Three Kindles For One iPad

Amazon has released a new Amazon Kindle commercial. This time taking jabs at Apple’s iPad price point. The same price point that many other so called ipad killers have failed to reach. Does Amazon prove a point with this new advertisement? What would you rather have, 3 Kindles or 1 iPad?

New Trent Grabbit holder for iPad 2

Rating: 9/10
Pros: Hand strap (made of genuine leather) allows you to carry your iPad with confidence, multiple size settings for the strap,  slim fit, adds minimal weight to the iPad, all ports are accessible, compatible with the Apple Smart Cover, 360 degree rotation, comes with a removable front cover and stand (which also doubles as a wall mount).  Excellent price-point.
Cons: There is nothing remarkably negative about this case.
Overall: The major selling point of Grabbit is the freedom you get from having one hand completely free to interact with the iPad.  Combine that with the 360 degree rotation and the $35 price tag, and I think this one’s a winner.
