External iPad Hard Drives – Airstash vs. iUSBPort
[UPDATE: Feb 18, 2014] This is not a bad device, but it has some kinks. The first is that the iPad doesn't always connect to it right away. It's best to use the iOS App from the manufacturer to make sure that the connection is working.

Nuud iPad Cover – Waterproof, Shockproof, Dirtproof
What really makes the Nuud Lifeproof iPad cover stand head-and-shoulders above the others is the fact that it doesn't cover the front screen of the iPad with a screen protector.

Battle of the iPad Keyboards – Logitech Ultrathin & Zagg compared [Review]
When it comes to iPad keyboards, I just can't get enough of them. I currently own five different models. Each has its own idiosyncrasies. And, yet, I still have not found the perfect balance of weight, layout and functionality. Nevertheless, things are definitely getting better. My most recent acquisitions were two from Logitech: the Ultrathin (for iPad 3) and the Fold-Up ...
Solar Recharger Case for iPad/Tablet – Voltaic Spark
It still takes about 10 hours in direct sunlight to fully recharge an iPad 2 with this portable recharger - the Voltaic Spark Case. Nevertheless, it offers a compelling package for desert nomads and San Tropez JetSetters. The case actually juices up a rechargeable battery (not sure of the milli-amps on the battery but they claim it can fully recharge an iPad 2) and the ...
