Kensington Protective Back Cover for iPad 2 Review

I was lucky enough to receive the Kensington Protective Back Cover for iPad 2 for review about a week ago. This is my final review of the product. You can watch the full review in the video, and/or read the pros and cons below.

Pros

• Rubber material offers grip and easy installation
• Lay on the table design
• Cut out for all necessary ports
• Works seamlessly with Smart Cover
• Cheap price point

Cons 

• Fingerprints very easily
• Precise cutouts for headphone jack and 30-oin dock connector may cause issues with 3rd party accessories
• Covered lock and volume rocker detriment the feedback of the buttons greatly

Overall, I really liked this case. I would reccomend it to anyone who already has a Smart Cover that wants the extra protection that a back cover provides. You can buy yours here.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review

The time has passed where I decided to purchase my first tablet PC. The closest thing I had to an ultra-portable tablet previously was my Samsung Tocco phone, my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop that has recently died, and my HTC Advantage PDA.

I had been saving up to buy an iPad 2 16GB WiFi only model for a few months now, and as soon as I got the money, I had second thoughts.

I have bought this specifically for school work, and taking around with me as all my coursework is set on a flash-based website. I know Flash sucks, but I am going to need it in the long run.

Now, my favourite two tablets have always been Apple’s iPad, and the Galaxy Tab from Samsung right from when they released the original Galaxy Tab. 

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 claims to be the thinnest tablet on the market, and it really packs a punch. It boasts a damn good 720p HD camera, and a very sleek design. However, that said, the rear is very clunky, snappy and creaky. It feels cheap, and your hands start to sweat a bit after using it.

Personally, I prefer the iPad 2 simply because of it's aluminium design, and the stability of iOS, but if you need Flash, or just want a good tablet, then I'd go for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

SwitchEasy CARA Hybrid iPad 2 Case

You may be in the market for an iPad 2 case, or perhaps you're just curious about what the different kinds of iPad 2 cases in the market are. Here is a review of the SwitchEasy CARA Hybrid iPad 2 Case. In my opinion, it is one of the best, if not the best, iPad 2 cases out at this point. It has a beautiful design that is as textured as it looks. It comes in multiple colors, some that are even split into two colors for the front panel and back. It also includes a nice group of extras such as a screen protector (I found it created too many bubbles), two stands (one black and one white), and plugs for the headphone jack spot and the charging spot.

The lock and unlock function is included with this case. Just be sure to order the Hybrid version for that. To my knowledge, SwitchEasy only makes and ships the Hybrid versions now because of too many complaints about the old versions that didn't include the lock and unlock functions. I hope this review of one of the best cases in the market was helpful.

Review: iCarbons Skin for iPad 2

Apple's Smart Cover for the iPad 2 is a great product, but it's one disadvantage is that it leaves the back of the iPad completely open to scratches. Thankfully, a new skin has emerged from iCarbons that not only protects your device, but also makes it stand out in a crowd.

Skins are available in a variety of colors including black or white carbon fiber, and dark or light wood grain. A full kit including the front, back, Apple logo, and home button can be purchased for $29.95 and a kit including only the back and Apple logo can be purchased $19.95.

Discussion: Will Apple's iPad Always Be the #1 Tablet?

Alongside the original iPad and iPad 2, we have seen many tablets come along in an attempt to steal Apple's success at making tablet computers; many of which have came and gone with no success. Just look at the HP Slate for example, which was soon replaced by the HP TouchPad. Who knows where that will go.

So the question is, do you think the Apple will always make the best iPad? Will it ever be beaten by another tablet?

In my opinion, I would say yes, Apple will always hold the key to a successful tablet. Just look at Apple now with the iPad 2. It's the most popular tablet. Everyone knows about iPad, but if you ask a person about the Samsung Galaxy Tab, you may get a different reply.

But what about the competitors? 

If anyone one was to come up with a true iPad competitor, I would give it to Google. Take the C4-48 Chrome Notebook for example -- the future of netbooks.
