subject: Shop For The Best Ipad Case In The World. [print this page] We all know that the iPad went down a storm in the States, selling over two million units in just the first fortnight of release and proving a greater initial success than the original iPhone.
After waiting for months, staring with envy across the pond, the iPad has finally launched in the UK and seems to be going down a treat here too!
Despite the hefty price tag (costs start at 429), UK tech-lovers are still picking up iPads in their thousands. The iPad is both sophisticated and intuitively simple, as well as being endowed with Apple's trademark sleek chic, so it's not difficult to see why it's proving so popular!
To keep you iPad both sleek and beautiful, it's pretty important to invest in a good quality case, so I've been tracking down the best iPad cases that I think make the cut. My favourite so far is the Speck CandyShell Case for iPad.
The Speck CandyShell was an award-winning iPhone case, so many will be pleased to discover that it has been enlarged to create the Speck CandyShell Rubberised Hard Case for iPad. Considering it's called "candy", it's funny that it's only available in the muted colours of grey or black, but the case is so sophisticated in other ways that the lack of bright colours probably doesn't matter so much. Personally, I like the idea of a black iPad case as it will look sophisticated enough for office-use.
The CandyShell works by combining a sturdy and hard-wearing plastic shell with a soft, rubber interior lining, which means that the iPad is protected both on the inside and the outside.
The thing that sets the CandyShell apart from other cases, though, is the build-in flip-panel in the back of it. The panel allows you to stand your iPad up vertically, which makes it easy to watch video and streaming media in comfort. The flip panel also provides access to the charging socket, which means you can charge your iPad or sync it to your computer without removing it from the case beforehand.
Whilst the CandyShell protects the iPad admirably, it of course doesn't cover the screen, although the raised bezel does go some way towards stopping your screen coming into contact with things that could scrape or harm it. My suggestion with it would be to couple it with a tough iPad screen protector, which should keep your screen completely scratch-free.
