Maaaan, it's gotta be.Oh motherfuck.
I hope they sell the back piece separately.
And I hope so, I'll get mine in a different color than the smart cover I already have.

Doesn't look like its separate, but I maaay get it anyways? The smart cover is kind of prone to come off if I do the full 90 degreeish standup with it, this looks like it would hold the case more in place than with just magnetism.

But the back needs no protection ... ! Or something like that.
Lol. Do you even know who you're trolling anymore or why?

Green and Blue here but I might just play it safe and go with dark grey, weren't people reporting staining issues with the brighter coloured polyurethane smart covers?
It doesn't look like the new smart cover is detachable from the back cover, or am I wrong? If it's not, I'll stick with my current setup.
On a side note... who the hell picks the color shades for these smart covers. They're seriously the most ugly color shades you could possibly pick (imo, of course).

Red will look great with my black iPad, so tempted.

So I need a keyboard for my iPad. What is the best one? Also, are there any you can use with the iPad/keyboard on your lap?
If it bothers you, take it in. It's covered so technically you could exchange it out again if something's wrong with the replacement.
Tobor's always pushing people to buy cheap Amazon plastic backs.

Just searched for it and it seems to do what you want.

Nice, not sure why I never found that when I looked.

Got my smart case this morning, I had previously been using an iPad 2 gel back with a knock off smart cover (which was starting to fall apart) Mixed thoughts at the moment, it doesn't fit anywhere near as tight as my previous case but that is probably down to it being an iPad 2 case which is slightly smaller. It doesn't shift around but as I sit here typing this on my lap I can see the top of the case slightly lifting off the device. The sides will flex in if you push them, overall it's not a very snug fit. The smart cover could also do with a tab because it's a little tricky to open as it fits near enough flush with the back.
Positives are I can use the sleep wake function now, the case is lined with microfiber, the openings for ports are very minimal or in the case of the sleep wake button completely covered but kiss the mute switch goodbye. I like having an all in one case rather than separate parts and the smart cover part will hold itself closed if I fold it behind the back of the device.
I'll see how I feel about the tightness of the fit but I may well end up returning this in favour of my old gel skin and a new smart cover.

Yeah, it's going back, I can just drop in to an Apple Store can't I? I don't see how this is meant to fit an iPad 2, it would just fall out. I mean, look at this:
You can see straight through the dock connector hole plus it fell over twice when I stood it up as a stand, it's nearly a 90 degree angle. Disappointed.
Hai Guys, I got a new iPad. Let's be friends! What are must have apps? Last time I got apps for my iPhone was 4 months ago
Welcome! Check this thread out for app advice.
First thing you need to do is download Flipboard. It puts news feeds and your social media handles, and turns them into a digital magazine. It's awesome.

What's the PDF app on the iPad?
My goodness that flipboard app! Amazing. Thanks will def check out the iOS thread.
So, er yeah...looks like Brydge got their funding:
Nearly $800k with a $90k goal
:O
I get it though, the entry level Air is far too expensive (over £800 in the UK), you used to be able to get the entry level macbook for about £650. Turing the iPad into a sort of Air-lite is a cost effective way into the Mac cult.

Just realized something strange with my iPad. When I plug it into the wall socket to charge it says that it is charging but when I switch off the screen and then turn it back on in a few seconds it changes to "Not Charging" it does not charge unless I unplug the cable and plug it back in...Never noticed this before.
Should I get in touch with Apple?

Does anybody have experience with the apple hdmi adapter? I want to get one for my mom's ipad so she can hook it up to her tv. But her tv's resolution is pretty low at 1,024 x 768 pixels. Would the adapter have any trouble downscaling to that resolution? or do you just need a regular 1080p set?
hmm. I dont know about 1024 x 768 but I ran it on an older plasma that was 1366 x 768 and it worked fine.
In fact, are you sure the res isnt 1366 x 768?
a 1024 x 768 set would be 4:3 like older TVs. I dont know of any HDTVs that ran at that res (maybe an old CRT set?)
anyway, it is the original ipads native res so it should work.

Do people find the 16gb ipad is enough? I really only want it to have access to iOS apps but I saw some of the app sizes and I'm thinking I might be pressed for space.
It's $200 difference between the ipad 2 and the 32 new and I don't know if that's something additional I want to spend

After getting a 32 GB version, I noticed that 16 GB still would've been enough for me. I used about 3-4 GB.

I'm not going to have any music or video, just gaming and steaming apps. I saw infinity blade was over a gig so I wasn't sure if that was typical of iPad games.
I recently used a family members and noticed they had barely any apps but a full 13 episode tv show and they had no space left.
I suppose I can always delete and redownload as necessary.
