Advice Needed: Cleaning iPad Case

I'm looking for tips on how to best clean Apple's official iPad case. I don't use it very much if at all, but it's REALLY dirty and I'm unsure about how to clean it. I'd like to get it looking halfway decent again.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I use a terry wash cloth dipped in warm water then wrung out. Scrub the case thoroughly, then dry it with a dry terry towel. It gets 95% of the gunk out of the cover. Certainly improves its appearance.

Advice needed regarding iPad 2 software upgrade

Hi,
I have a 64GB WiFi iPad 2 that is still running the original iOS 4.3.3 with which it came out of the factory as well as a 16GB iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5. My question is: Should I upgrade to iOS5? Or rather, is it safe to upgrade to iOS5?
My only iOS upgrade experience is with a 64GB 3rd generation iPod Touch which was ruined by iOS4 and made worse by iOS5. After the upgrade my video app no longer worked and the Touch was very laggy and glitchy. It would seem as if the the 64GB models react differently to iOS upgrades than the smaller capacity models. In the case of the Touch, the processor simply could not handle 59GB of content and a new version of iOS. The upgrade to iOS5 fixed the video app but then corrupted 2GB of the flash memory resulting in only 57GB now being available in stead of the usual 59GB. It is still just as laggy and glitchy as it was with iOS4.
My question is: Does anybody have a 64GB iPad 2 (that originally came out with iOS4) that was upgraded to iOS5, that is filled to capacity with apps, music & video's (music video's & TV shows)? If so, how is iOS 5.1.1 running on it? Is your iPad still as responsive and smooth running as it was with iOS4? I use my iPad extensively for video, and if the video app no longer works the iPad will be useless for me. What did iOS5 do to your battery life? Do you still get the same great battery life as with iOS4?
I would also like to hear from iPhone 4 owners now running iOS5.1.1. Is your iPhone still as smooth and responsive as with iOS4? What did iOS5 do to your battery life?
Any help, advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Daniel

I have the same pad as you, and I have kept up with the upgrades, and I have had no problems. Zippo.
I have a friend who stayed where you are, and he is fine, but does not have the new stuff that is included in the upgrades, also, he cannot update any apps that need the new system, such as pages, keynote, numbers, I photo garage band etc.
If you take your time, the upgrade is relatively painless. I lost no apps, nor data. I needed to re enter my mail info one one account, and had to redo the wifi stuff for my home network.
With 5.0, other than the above capabilities, I did not notice any speed improvement nor worsening. With 5.1. I did notice that the machine is a little quicker. May be my imagination.
I did have a little battery issue initially, and found a couple of apps that we're trying to connect home and do something, and once I dumped them, the battery life is the same as it was.
So no issues here at all. I also have a phone 4, and can report the same thing, no issues, and a little snappier under 5.1.
If you are still at 4.xx you are a couple of generations behind. I don't know what you may have loaded, but it is possible that you have an that does not play well, and you may have issues, but I did not.
Before you update, back everything up. Photos, music and apps, and send a copy of any important days and spreadsheets to Dropbox or some where. Then , if it gets messed up, simply set it up as brand new, then restore from that backup. And if that fails, simply redownload the music, books, and apps from the store for free if you are using the same apple Id.

Cleaning Apple iPad Case

Does anyone have any tips on how to best clean Apple's iPad case? I don't use it very often, but the front and back is really dirty with dust. Would a damp cloth work?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Steven

Use a very mild soap, ivory or neutrogena for example, lightly dabbed on to a wet but ringed out towel and simply wipe it down and then wipe it again with just a wet towel and towel dry it and it should look like new.
For simple dust just blow or lightly brush it off. I've only wet cleaned it a couple of times so far. Mostly all you need to do is blow or wipe the dust off for it to look like new.
It's actually quite easy to keep the Apple case clean, unlike what some people claim. The material it is made of is quite durable. It's an excellent case.

[HELP] New iPad case greasy. How can I clean this?

I Got a new targus iPad case and I guess my hand had vaseline on it or something and I touched the case. I

Any ideas to clean it?

Did you check the case's website for solution?

Can anyone help me find a suitable iPad case?

Can anyone recommend an iPad case that will protect my iPad when carrying it around in a rucsack -- or a site that will give me some reviews of cases?
I can find lots of cases in the shops, but nowhere giving me advice about what type I need.
I'd like one tough enough to keep it safe in a bag and which has received good reviews.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Three options:
1. Keep your Smart Cover, and purchase an INCASE neoprene iPad sleeve. They are very protective, and H20 resistant.
2. Keep your Smart Cover, and purchase an INCASE magnetic snap back. They prevent scratches, and enhance the functionality of the Smart Cover.
3. Keep your Smart Cover, and purchase an INCIPIO smart feather. They also prevent scratches, and enhance the security of the the Smart Cover.
Notice the trend?...KEEP YOUR SMART COVER...it is with out a doubt the most practical accessory for the iPad. I cannot comment on folios, or other cases of that genre as bulky cases are not my cup of tea. If you want simplicity, yet refinement choose one of the options I listed. YouTube is full of fantastic reviews, here's a list of my "go to's" for reviews: MCCHRISTOLEAR, metagamers, outfityours and detroit borg. Good luck.

Best iPad case for hospital/ER use?

Hi all,
I'm an ER doc and our department just received new iPads as we move into the electronic medical records age.
I need a strong yet practical (lightweight) iPad case.
We will carry it from patient room to room and use it for documenting histories and charts.
I've read other threads about practical sanitation of iPads but that's not that big of deal since I'd rather just take it out of the case to clean it or just wipe the whole thing in its entirety with our sanitation wipes.
I'm mainly looking for something that can protect against drops, spills/blood/fluids but not weigh like a brick.
Our documentation program is also compatible with a stylus.
Are the hard screen protectors on most cases OK for stylus use in terms of accuracy and details?
Any input and reviews would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

GummyD and other docs,
My company Alphyn Industries just developed a scrub that holds your iPad for you on your chest with our LEDGE system. It frees both your hands and the iPad is suspended perpendicular to your chest when needed.
To put the iPad away, the pocket flap is simply zipped up. We have not launched is commercially yet, and we are looking for doctors who want to work with us and help us make it mainstream.
We aree also working on a disposable film pack to keep the screen sanitary in the OR.
You can see the LEDGE application in our commercial PADX-1 fleece jacket:

I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
Please contact me for more details.

IPad Case

I want the iPad Case. However before I order it I wanted to get impressions from those that have it first. So tell me what you think about the Apple iPad Case.......Please.
Thanks

I returned mine..I exchanged it for a belkin silicone case (clear)
First off before you buy a case ask yourself these questions
Do i need a case that will help me type?
Do i need a case that does not hide the ipads curves?
Do i need a case and a small bag for travel?
Do i need a case that can also cover the screen?
Do i have the time to clean at least once a week the case and e screen?
Do i need a case that fits perfectly?
Do i like to pimp up my ipad like putting skins ?
1. If you want a case that will help you type, the apple ipad case has different functions and you can use it to that advantage especially on a flat surface unlike the belkin silicone case
But when it comes to typing when you are on a coach or on your bed i can say that both apple case and belkin are at par
2. The apple case is black and it covers everything the ipad has ( a nice silver finish at the back, curves etc.)
While the belkin silicone clear case shows it off
Its like choosing a classic black dress over bikini vice versa
3. Some people brings there ipad when travelling and i tell you, you STILL need a good netbook bag/sleeve for your ipad even if it is in a apple case. The apple case is not that durable for the to be safe in your bag
4. Yes the apple case covers the screen BUT it still cant protect your ipad from your fingers and that also goes to the belkin case
Solution? Get a screen protector
5. One of the main reason why i returned the apple case coz it gets dirty FAST and very hard to remove i dont have the time to clean the screen of my ipad better yet the case, so i returned it.
6. Apple ipad case fits okay but not that great compared to the belkin silicone case
7. One of the best features of a belkin clear case is that you can buy a wide variety of skins for your ipad like in gelaskin or musicskin and you can still put the ipad on your silicone case. Really eye catchy when your using your ipad on a public place and it adds personality too

I just bought a Scrabble game but it doesn't sit right in my IPad case. It's vertical not horizontal. I'd like to know how to fix or get a different one that sits horizontally.

I Just bought a scrabble game but it doesn't sit well in my IPad cars. It diets vertically so I can't recharge my ipad while I'm playing and it won't sit up in my IPad case, it refers when my iAd is sitting horizontally. D like to either be given instruction on how to turn or I'd like to exchange for a different Sctabble game that will sit the right way, for my IPad.

I have tried clicking all around and I cannot get to the contact manager at all anymore. Now when I click to it I go to My Verizon Online Sign In - Verizon Wireless (not sure if that link works here) and the web site says:
You are seeing this page for one of the following reasons:
1) The Sync & Connect feature does not appear on your account. To add this feature click on Home above, then click on the Change Features link.
2) The Sync & Connect feature has recently been added to your account and the request is in process or pending completion. Please sign in again later.
There's no "Home" or "Change Features" visible on that page. The more I do the stranger the site has gotten. This time it kept telling me I needed to sign back in, but then it would continue acting as normal (I AM signed in).
I suppose there's a glitch.

Video intensive work on Mac Pro? Advice Needed

Hi everyone,
I've been originally saving up for a while now for an iMac 24" as it offers the best specification price wise. But now I leaning on the Mac Pro and therefore need some advice.
I know that there are alot of posts on advice - need to buy mac etc. so therfore I would really appreciate if I am afforded some help.
I am mostly going to do ALOT of video encoding (via handbrake) and I am looking for the best configuration available to achieve lowest waiting time.

I think you should go back and look at the other threads with advice, your budget. There is "ideal" and "affordable."
Will it pay for itself in 24 months so you can afford the next revision at that time?
Start with an 8-Core 3GHz.
Add a Port Multiplier controller and two drive cases, 5 drives each, nearly 400MB/sec RAID.
Throw in 8GB RAM.
Add in costs for software upgrades, two sets of backups, four internal 500GB drives.
Seagate has 750GB, as does WD. Hitachi has their $450 1000GB monster.
Give yourself time to build, test, and optimize your setup, and expect to change it over time as you learn more.
Can't afford that? then trim the 8-core. But Apple has shown how efficient next generation applications already are for video when it comes to 3GHz 8-core Mac Pro.

Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....advice needed!

Had to have a rebuild of my laptop....have now lost all my music from my itunes, but I can't transfer back on from my ipod. Also had to register my laptop (same) as another computers, so now no music showing as purchased, though I have. Also have hours of uploaded music from my own purchased, legitimate CDs, but won't transfer from ipod...it says it will erase. So very frustrated....thanks mr technician! PLEASE ....help, advice needed!

I believe that if you do a clean reinstall from your HD's recovery sector (D) or Recovery disks, the hard drive sector C is wiped clean. Everything goes, apps, data, address books, music, pix, viruses
Is that what you did?

IPad case recommendation for UK

Hi,
I am looking for an iPad case for a xmas pressie and was looking at a dodo, portenzo style etc, but was wondering if anybody has anything similar in the UK? The shipping costs are so high to get these from the states.
I did a bit of research and found one that looks very similar www.patsoncase.com
Has anybody got one of these or heard anything about them? I can't find much on the Internet but they seem to sell on Etsy too and have good feedback. Works out quite a bit cheaper when you take shipping into account, but want to make the right decision!
Thanks for your help

If you find anything suitable and post your findings that'd be great. I am pretty much at a dead end now
I have just had a helpful chat with a rep from Squirrel Sollutions:
me: We're looking for a POS till system that uses android tablets as the till interface, can you provide the hardware for this? Minus the actual tablet,
Just a moment...
Aaron: yes, thats how it works
me: great, at the moment we have been led to other providers that can supply, till drawers, printers etc for till systems that use tablets as the workhorse.
Aaron: if you like i can forward your info to our local reseller in the UK
me: specifically we're opening a bar and would need three tills (so three iPads or Androids) and the accompanying hardware.
that'd be great!
we already have the tablets,
Aaron: ok we would be glad to provide a quotation and a demo if necessary
what is your contact info?
me: well we're based in the UK and are in the planning/construction stage of the venture. Do you have a brochure etc?
details of the british reseller would be great!
Aaron: yes i do, i can email to you right away
me: brilliant, the email address is at the top of this box, but its phillip.shaw@*****.com
Aaron: the reseller will contact you as soon as possible. what is your name?
me: Phil
in the meantime could you email me a brochure across?
Aaron: ok Phil, i will send the brochure right away
me: great stuff! Thanks a lot.
Thanks for your help!
When the info comes through i'll update the thread here. Just to clarify they offer iPad solutions not just Android.

Affordable iPad Cases

I'd love to hear what iPad cases you guys are using. I need to keep the price at $39 or less per iPad. I only have 22 (iPad Air) so I don't really qualify for major bulk discounts. I think my price point automatically puts me out of the Otterbox/Lifeproof game! Probably Griffin Survivor is out as well due to price.
Any other good cases?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

For the most part yes. iPad 2, 3 and 4 share the same general chassi. Though cases made specifically for the iPad 4 may obstruct the connector port on the bottom of iPad 2 and 3 due to the narrower nature of the new Lightning Port.

What is the sturdiest iPad case?

I am looking for a case for an iPad 4.
I would like it to be sturdy and hopefully have some kind of stand, since my special needs boys (10 & 13) will be using them at home and at school.

EEmily-Suzanne:
Check out Otterbox. I dont have an iPad case but I did have an iPhone and iPod touch Cases. the iPod case lasted for 5 plus Years. The iPhone case was built very similarly, but I can't vouch for it as the phone failed. The iPad cases look like the are built like tanks. They also appear to have a stand. Also check out the ilounge web site. They do lots of reviews.
Good luck and post what you go with and how it works.

Does the original iPad case fit the new iPad (2012)

Hello Folks..Does the original iPad case fit the new iPad? I am looking for a case but haven't been happy with the choices so far...Has anyone tried the original iPad case on the new iPad? if so, how is it?
Thanks!!

Here's the thicknesses: iPad 1 - 0.5", iPad 2 - 0.34", iPad 3 - 0.37"
So an iPad 3 would fit loosley in an iPad 1 case. However, the iPad 1 doesn't have a camera, so no camera hole in the case. The iPad 3 camera opening in the case may need to be somewhat larger than the iPad 2 camera hole. Unless it's form fitting, I think most iPad 2 cases may fit the iPad 3, but it may be tight.
For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.
 Cheers, Tom
