Maybe a weird question but is anyone else getting RSI to their wrist and pins and needles in their fingers of the hand you hold the iPad with? I've noticed today - or am I being paranoid? Typical man eh?!

How long have you had your iPad? RSI usually takes some time to develop.

I've had the damn thing for a little over a week and granted it's gotten lots and lots and loooots of use, and I do find holding it quite uncomfortable, I think the worst thing I've gotten was sweaty palm syndrome. Cause you point... the whole damn time. And the rest of the fingers are bunched up against your palm that I find I have to open my hand every once in a while just to air it out. Waving it about works.

Downloading this app could really cause some serious repetitive strain injuries! :D

My cheeks get sore from smiling all the time.

Seriously tho, I had a bout of repetitive strain. You just have to find different positions to use it. Couch leaning, sitting, bed, kitchen table. The trick is to vary your joint positions. I've never had a problem with iPad use because I never stay long enough in one position.

The iCarry!

The perfect product to best utilize your iPad. It features backpack like straps with two steel wires coming on the front of your chest and bent to a stand shape and padded so that an iPad can fit there snug and secure. Adjustable positions to fit every body type.

Accessory your iCarry with the iSupport. Arm support holders that connect to the iCarry on both sides of your body and bend forward at the armpit area. Padded of course for your comfort. Left or right, or both.

And for all of you tilting iPad gamers out there, a new upgrade, iSwivel features a swivel ball supported stand. Holding your iPad in this stand will allow you to move it left, right, up and down so you don't miss a moment of the action. Goes very well with the iSupport.

And for our new ergonomic line we offer a new product, the iLevel. A very intriguing and highly addictive stand that aims to bring the iPad at eye level. It sits on your shoulders and it is secured in the back with straps that hug your chest and also feature iSupport mounts.

Hate typing on the screen? No worries. When playtime is over and work begins, replace the iSupports with the iType. A keyboard tray that fits in the iSupport mounts but that extends forward for easy keyboard placement and even easier typing. No longer will you have to look at the keyboard to type. Looking at the screen will ensure the same level of confidence in your typing skills. Use standing or sitting. Use it when you jog. Use it when you walk the dog. Use it when you mow the lawn. Use it when you drive. Now get more done while enjoying your favorite activities.

Only repetitive strain I get is to my wallet! Repeatedly buying apps!

No I get some carpal tune when typing in certain positions, and when playing some card games where I'm using just one finger constantly....cause it's addicting and in don't take breaks!
