Protect Your iPad
THE IPAD WAS MEANT to be held—held up for others to see, held on your lap, held under your arm as you walk down the hall, and so on. But with holding sometimes comes dropping (and with that, cursing), so protecting your iPad with a case or cover might help cushion its fall. Cases and covers also protect the surface of the tablet, (especially that glossy screen) when it’s riding around in a purse or backpack.
In addition to protecting the iPad, a case, from a hot-pink zippered number to a stately leather portfolio, shows off a bit of your own personality. Here are a few of the many places to find the latest in geek chic for your iPad:

Apple Store. The company that makes the iPad also makes sure you have plenty of other stuff to buy to go with it, including cases, covers, docks, keyboards, and headphones. One iPad protector that Apple is particularly proud of is the Smart Cover for the second- and third-generation iPad. The Smart Cover (shown below) magnetically clamps to the tablet’s edge, can serve as an easel for upright viewing, and even turns the iPad on or off when you open or close the flap. If there’s no brick-and-mortar Apple Store in town, visit the online emporium at store.apple.com.
