Quick Review: Brenthaven Bill-Fold iPad Sleeve

iPad-Billboard-05

This environmentally friendly iPad protective sleeve here is made of recycled billboard material on the outside and the inside a soft material. It’s not the best looking iPad sleeve out there, but it features this unique system that when empty the sleeve is flat and with a simple fold of 2 Velcro strips it fits the iPad (See what I mean below in the photos). The iPad fits snuggly inside but this one is not a looker.

iPad Accessories: Non-branded iPad Cases Review

iPad-Cases-04

If you’ve been to eBay searching for “iPad” lately, then surely you’ve seen the countless listings of non-branded iPad cases. And obviously the factories that produces these cases has an iPad in hand to create the mold. Right now, you can grab yourself either a soft silicone or hard iPad case.

We went on eBay and got one of the soft kinds for under $10 (Shipping included) to check out. At first glance, the case has all the right cutouts for the buttons and ports, a hole for the Apple logo on the back of the iPad, and it’s mind-blowingly thin, we can just imagine how thin the actual device is. It goes without saying that these cases are not top quality but it does the job of protecting the iPad.

At this point, there are 3 different kind of designs of iPad cases on eBay. There’s the one we purchased. Then there’s the other design that covers the Apple logo on the back, and the front of the case goes cover the bezel more, hugging the home button as shown in the image below.

iPad Accessories: iBallz for the iPad

iBallz-iPad-Drop-Shock-protection-balls

For just one, easy payment of $15, your future iPad or any other slab devices like the Sony Reader, Kindle or iPhone can be shielded from drops and spills by the iBallz accessory. What is this funny sounding accessory you may ask? As shown in the image above, it’s basically 4 rubber balls, attached by a single stretchable cord. The iBallz is available in 6 different colors. You can pre-order your very own iBallz now and it will be shipping when the iPad does.

An interesting idea, but I don’t think it will sell very well. You would be better off getting a traditional iPad Screen Protector and iPad Case.
