Must admit I was really surprised as only someone with OCD like me would have noticed it but as I say, they were great. I used to be a PC man and then I got my 1st gen iPad and was impressed with how well made it was. At that time I was on my third PC notebook in a year ( and trust me, I am a...

Just wanted to let folks know I had an issue with my iPad air that I got last November. I noticed yesterday a tiny (less than 1mm) speck under the screen so I went to my local Apple store today and much to my surprise they are replacing it with a brand new one. They did not have any white 128G's...

So my clear case back arrived today, just over twenty days fro China to Canada and within the quoted shipping time. All packed in bubble wrap nice and securely from this eBay seller for $4:99 including shipping Crystal Clear Hard PC Plastic Back Case Cover Slim Shell FOR Apple Ipad 5 AIR | eBay...

As soon as my clear case back arrives I will be sure to post a picture of it on the air. Great idea as I find the sales shots of cases somehow do not convey what they look like in real life. I know for me the most important thing apart from protection is that the svelte lines of the air are...

I just watched a 1080p video on youtube and it was clear as a bell. Also I have ripped all of my collection of Last Of The Summer Wine( I am an ex-pat living in Canada and miss my English telly!) DVD's using handbrake and then transferred them to the iPad, picture quality is leaps and bounds...

Looks like I am fortunate, no discolouration or missing pixels!

Did my update last night. Did not reset after as I never have done with previous updates on my old iPad 1. I can report no. Issues since update. I just checked sound, music via accu radio and the emails notifications, all is working well.

I notice that the free garage band is not the full edition, you have to pay another $4:99 for the comprehensive version. just a heads up. Also, I downloaded the office suite and all that works great but if I want it on my MacBook Pro I still have to pay for it so it does not transfer from device...

The thing is it is such a short distance you won't get much stereo separation I feel from having speakers either side. The sound for me does not feel like it comes from one side though. When I watch speech it feels like it is coming from the mouths of the actors which is all that matters.

I don't use my iPad for listening to music. I am a bit of an audio buff so I use an Astell&Kern AK120 which plays high resolution and DSD music. However I watch a lot of ripped from my DVD collection TV shows or Movies that I have collected over the years and the sound quality from the inbuilt...

Thats great. I will be interested with your thoughts. Your right, for this money you can't go wrong. I was waiting for the Speck case backs to come out but when all said and done these are just plastic case backs. As long as they fit snug and the cut outs are right then all is good and if they...

I just looked at the ebay store of the seller I got my $5 case back from and he has just listed a new one for the same price in various colours and it appears there is now a cut out along one side where the iPad smart cover would fit. Slim Snap on Crystal Hard Back Shell Case Cover for iPad Air...

That is the downside to it, it's just a plastic shell. For me that is not an issue as I have a soft padded compartment in my bag. I wonder if one purchased those thin self adhesive magnetic strips and stuck it to the case it would do the job? When you think the price of this and then purchasing...

I have yet to see a screen protector that does not ruin the image quality and to be honest I had my old 1st gen iPad for three years without screen protector and not a scratch. But then I look after my stuff.

I got my 128G Air this week, decided to spend the extra money on space initially rather than get the case as I am gentle with my gear. Having said that a quick search on eBay found me a clear hard shell case back for less that five bucks and free shipping so I thought it would tide me over until...
