The New Ipad (Ipad3) Case which one should I get?

I'm purchasing and Ipad3 and I'm looking for a good sturdy case.  I have a 5 year old that will be playing with it so I'm sure it will be dropped on occasion.  I was thinking about an otterbox but I saw one for kids as well.  I just don't know whats best
and if its worth paying the extra money for the otterbox.  Any suggestions are welcomed!!

I'm always amazed to see parents handing a $600 device to someone who has little responsibility.  I've seen too many parents yelling at their kids when an iPad falls on the cement getting out of a car.  Even my iPad has protective skins to keep scratches away.  Yes, the back of my iPad as a big dent from falling on an office chair leg.
I say yes get the Otterbox, unless you plan to be buying a new device every few weeks.  The slippery aluminum back is not forgiving.

In addition to a cracked screen, a fall on the edge risks warping the aluminum back, making glass replacement complicated.

  • With the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    with the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    I can only echo what Pogo says about buying based on what it does today.
    3 weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini. A new Mac Mini model has been rumoured to come out anywhere between the same week I made my purchase and the end of August. None's been released as yet.
    I wanted one in the week of June that I bought mine so I bought it based on the fact that it did what I wanted and I couldn't imagine anything which could be added that I'd want - my MacBook Pro doesn't have Thunderbolt so the most likely addition isn't really going to be much use for me.
    Basically you have to buy what you what based on what's out at the the time.
    I can promise that within seconds of the iPad3 being released, the web will be full of rumours about the next one!

  • I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it?  I don't understand flash storage.  It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with.  Help an old lady out!!!

    Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare  the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

  • Previous iPad allowed me to use an adapter to download pics on a sd card, I don't find an adapter for the new IPad. Is there one available?

    I want to get an iPod nano and which one should I get?iPod nano 6th gen 8 GB or 16 GB?or iPod nano 7th gen?

    If you also want to use it as a watch and like the clip get the 6th Generation.
    If you want to have a bigger screen, watch videos, and use Bluetooth without a dongle get the 7th Generation.

  • Planning on selling 1 of the 10.5.6 DVDs, which one should I keep?

    I have 2 Mac OS X 10.5.6 DVDs, the gray retail one that came with my computer and one I had bought separately with the spacey background. Which one should I keep? And when Snow Leopard comes should I sell the remaining OS X DVD or keep it in case there are computer problems and I need to reinstall?

    The one which you got with the computer.
    And when Snow Leopard comes should I sell the remaining OS X DVD
    No. That DVD isn't allowed to be sold separately from the computer it came with and cannot be used to install the OS on a different Mac model.

  • 1st g or 2nd g- which one should I get?

    I like to know which is better and last longer and wont have much issues
    A. 1st g ipod touch
    or
    B. 2nd genertion ipof touch
    I like to know I dont know which one I want, and I like to hear it from a person who know what there talking about and who knows alot about ipod touch
    reply back real soon
    I need to know

    Hi Karchi again,
    Well, the 2nd Generation iPod has more functionalities and at the same price! I think you should get the 2nd Generation iPod, for this reasons:
    1) Is brand new, had slight redesigns, same price and several new functionalities;
    2) It would be difficult to see the previous iPod on sale in stores... Only using eBay or something!
    3) Issues are normally related with software and not with hardware. So this means that both iPods will always have the bugs...
    Hope this helps!

  • IPod Cover.. which one should I get?

    I've had my 30GB Black Video iPod for almost a week now, and it barely has any scratches, but I still want to get a case/screen-protector so it won't get anymore. I heard that the iSkins are good (they look good too), and they just came out with new skins/cases for the iPod nano, but not yet for the new Video iPods.
    Should I just wait for those to come out.. or is there anyother skins/screen-protectors/cases that you'd suggest?
    Thanks!

    I'm looking myself. I'm leaning toward a zcover - had a guy at Best Buy recommend one to me (I don't think they carry them). He had one for his 4th gen iPod - and he loved it.
    ...in the meantime, I've put a clear sheet of Static Cling over the front of mine - and that works very well - can't hardly tell there's anything there. Doesn't protect the back - but that's okay with me for now - I just want to make sure the screen doesn't get scratched. I run a decal company, so I've got the good stuff - not sure where one could find some retail - maybe a craft or sticker shop?
    Good luck-

  • I have the new ipad / ipad3 . I upgraded to ios7 but I didn't get pages and numbers apps free, but my colleague who is using ipad4 with ios7 it is free. more over my ipad is not showing airdrop facility. please help me out in how to rectify those

    please help me out somebody. I need pages and numbers apps immediately. I have ipad3 with ios7 running in it. Apple announced iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, pages, numbers all are free for ios7 users. but for me it's not like that. shall I download or should I wait. in my ipad airdrop also not coming. but my colleague has both apps also comin for free and airdrop also coming who has ipad4  with same version of ios7.0.2

    They are free to iOS 7 users who have activated their NEW device on Sept 1 2013 or after. They are NOT automatically free with iOS 7.
    AirDrop is only compatible with iPad 4th gen and iPad mini. iPad 3rd gen and below do contain the necessary hardware for AirDrop. Also, AirDrop is only compatible between iOS devices. You cannot AirDrop between iOS device and Mac OS.

  • Can not receive FT calls on the New Ipad Ipad3

    I Recently Bought a new 16 GB Ipad 3 Cellular + Wifi. I have been facing a peculiar issue with receiving FT calls on my IPAD.
    IPad: Apple ID: [email protected], No Cellular Subscription
    IPhone: Apple ID: [email protected], ATT
    1) When I try to make a FT call over wifi from Iphone 4 to IPAD the FT call does NOT go through most of the times. However, for some unknown reason once or twice out of twenty tries it might go through.
    2) When I try to make a FaceTime call over wifi from Ipad to Iphone 4 it always go through.
    3) If I try making a FT call from Iphone4 to Ipad  immediately after above mentioned scenario 2 , Ipad always receives FT calls. But it may not work again if I try FT from Iphone to IPAD after 15-20 mins and I have to repeat Step 2.
    P.S: I have another Iphone4 and I am facing the same issue while trying to make FT calls on the other Iphone4 (No SIM, only on WIFI). I have tried it on various wifi networks but the result is the same. PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks in Advance.
    Sunil..

    OK. I am having a little bit of trouble understanding your responses, but let's start with this since you are having an issue with other apps as well.
    Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up completely and then try again.

  • Which one should I get 13inch or 15inch MBP

    Hello everyone, I am about to make the switch from pc to a mac and I need help on which mac is best for me. I never had mac before, this is my first time. I am going to college. I will be using in college and using the mac for web surfing, itunes and doing homework.
    Do they both 13inch and 15inch get very hot?
    I don't know why Im lover with 15 but I am familiar in the differences with the 13 and 15 inch but cannot decide on which is best for me..........Any help or feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    web surfing, itunes and doing homework.
    For doing that and being mobile a lot at school, I would go with the 13", or you may even consider a MacBook Air lighter weight.
    They all heat up depending upon what you are doing, but just surfing (except watching video) and doing your homework (word processing), any of them should run quite cool.

  • Which one should I get? Radeon HD 6770 or Geforce GTX 550 Ti ?

    I've been told over the years that Nvidia has better support for Linux. But how are the (official) Linux drivers for both cards ? Right now I have a choice between Palit GTX 550 Ti and MSI HD 6770 for about the same amount of money.
    While Palit offers 2 a year warranty, and MSI offers 3, I tend to go with the Radeon because I already have an onboard Geforce 7025 (for "just in case") and the official drivers are ok.
    Any advice would be most welcome.

    DSpider, this has been discussed a lot. Have you searched the forums? Nobody is going to be able to give you advice on exact specific models as they themselves would have had to compare them to know what works.
    To get a general idea, search the forums and you will find multiple threads trying to figure out whether they should buy an ATI card or a NVidia.
