Hey all! Any recommendations for a protective iPad 2 Case? I'm a pretty clumsy guy, and having to take my cracked iPad in to the Apple store for a replacement made me realize I won't have AppleCare+ forever. There's one on Amazon that's like $6? And it seems to have good ratings? I don't know. Price range is somewhere from $0-50.

New ipad air. As I'm typing, sometimes the onscreen keyboard just randomly changes to the numbers and symbols page mid-word. I've had an ipad before and this never happened. Defect?

Well, it has a thinner bezel. I'm not sure how you're typing but if you're holding it with your left and typing with your right, are you sure you aren't accidentally fat-fingering the key to change to numbers and symbols?

Question, if I buy a T-mobile iPad Air how does Sprint or Verizon handle customers who want to switch?

eric posted:Seriously though spend the extra cash and get the Air. It's so much faster and better to hold it's worth it. But here's my next question- how much space is "enough"? The iPad wouldn't be my main computing device (I use a ThinkPad for mos tof my computing), but both my wife and I will be using the iPad for casual browsing, testing iOS apps I've made, that sort of thing. Would 32 GB be sufficient?

Almost certainly, especially since you don't mention loading any video.

ebooks don't take any space. What are you emulating? If you mean like SNES games I think you can fit the entire library on one DVD. In my experience the thing that takes up the most space are games.

Boring question here: How do you keep your iPad screen clean? And how do you clean it when it gets finger marks all over it? I've been obsessively washing my hands before touching it, but it's still covered in finger marks already.

I only find the smudges noticeable/annoying when watching films or shows on the iPad, otherwise for browsing its a non issue. I use a microfiber cloth to rub the smudges off. Never use window cleaner or stuff like that as it removes the oleophobic coating on the screen.

Meanwhile there's two different models of the original iPad Mini given the carrier/region. And at least in theory, Verizon should have dropped the concept of a whitelist for LTE due to the open access rules they accepted as part of the 700MHz auction. Think Verizon's still figuring out how it all works since they messed it up with the Nexus 7 tablet, but they didn't sell that and they do sell the iPad, so... melon cat posted:The only time I'd put video on it is when we're travelling and need some entertainment while waiting between flights. I'd also use it as an emulating device and ebook reader for when we're on the road, commuting, etc. Would 32GB still be sufficient? Are you sure the emulators you want exist? I thought the Apple App Store rules prohibited emulators and interpretive languages, and there isn't a jailbreak for iOS 7 yet to let you use any other App Stores that I'm aware of. They do sneak on the official App Store occasionally hidden inside another app, but Apple pulls them when they find out.

There's a way to get emulators on non-jail broken devices through a website. Someone posted about it in one of the iPhone threads recently.

Verizon ipad is the "best" because you get the Verizon sim if you're ever going to use it and should be white listed. You can buy an att or tmobile sim and they work perfectly fine. Took me two minutes to swap the verizon card for a tmobile card and get it setup.

Whitefish posted:I've been obsessively washing my hands before touching it, but it's still covered in finger marks already. You're being way too obsessive. It's a thing you touch with your fingers, so it's going to get fingerprints all over it. Keep a microfiber cloth handy and wipe it off in the morning or before you go to bed, because otherwise you're going to go nuts. If it bothers you that much, then you might want to consider getting a screen protector since they tend to show fingerprints less at the cost of feeling a lot shittier than the bare glass.

Yeah, do this. It does possibly rule out Sprint as an option for you, because they are under no obligation to let you onto their special snowflake network. But using Sprint would be like attaching a 56k modem to your iPad so it was never really an option anyway.

This reminds me...as someone who has to deal with a flood of iPad cases on a regular basis, a little advice: especially for the Air, get a folio case with a handstrap. Being able to hold an iPad in one hand can be extraordinarily useful if you're cooking, at work, or traveling. When I was in Europe last year I was able to whip out my iPad occasionally while walking to figure out where I was and where I needed to be. (I was using offline apps, incidentally, though you still need a cellular iPad to get GPS). The folio part is just about a more efficient way of protecting both the screen and the back while getting stand functions. If you want to go for the gold, you can try and find a case with a stylus loop. Even if you don't need a stylus, it's still a good place to stick a pen. Companies like Snugg and Marware are a good place to start when you're shopping, but there are others. Nihiliste fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Nov 4, 2013 |

I've been looking for a super lightweight case for the iPad mini, with magnet cover for auto on/off. Perhaps instead of looking for lighter weight I should look for better ergonomics. I tend to use it in landscape mode with the camera on the left. Can anyone recommend a case with hand strap that would work well in this configuration? Edit: for clarity I hold the left edge and it tends to cause hand cramping. Veinless fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Nov 4, 2013 |

So apparently the new 200MB "free" data plans on T-Mobile aren't quite so free if you're financing via T-Mobile, according to this article : http://www.macrumors.com/2013/11/04...-finance-ipads/ I guess someone at CNET discovered this. "T-Mobile clarified to CNET that new customers who want to take advantage of T-Mobile's no-money-down plan are required to sign up for a $20-a-month plan. Unlike the On Demand plan, which was simply a fee for staying on T-Mobile's network, the $20 plan does provide for an additional 500MB of data at its 4G LTE speed. The 200MB of data is "free," but doesn't kick in until after you sign up. Existing T-Mobile customers with a phone plan can access the 200MB of free data without signing up for additional plans. New customers who paid full price for their iPad Air or any other tablet will be able to get the 200MB data plan for free. Or customers can bring in their own T-Mobile-compatible tablets." mAlfunkti0n fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Nov 4, 2013 |

Still sounds like free data, they just aren't doing no-interest financing for non-paying customers?

You can turn up the brightness and then the smudges will then only be visible in dark areas (in movies most likely). If wiping the iPad with your sleeve doesn't help then you could use alcohol wipes, these are very effective. However, as soon as you start using it again the fingerprints will reappear. Washing your hands constantly will not help because of their natural oiliness. If anything, your hands will feel dry and uncomfortable after constant washing.

They're just the cloud version of iTunes backups, which are also valid in your case.

I showed them the tweet from their CEO saying something like "NO STRINGS, EVERYONE GETS 200MB". I ended up just paying for the whole thing up front and self-financed it but it still took 3 purchases and returns to get it right because they kept loving up the transaction, using the same sim, etc... Was a real mess. They put me off when they said that the news is misleading despite their very clear message that their CEO has said. Whatever, I have my iPad with 200mb, but can see how this would put off some people.

My mom has finally decided that she's had enough of her iPad 1 so today she has received her iPad Air and already she loves it! Granted I'm showing her all the stuff she's missed like iOS 7 and apps that load in under 2 minutes but she is certainly enjoying the surprisingly light little thing. However, she of course wants a case for it so the question is which case? She had the official iPad 1 case for her old iPad so I was thinking of getting a Smart Case or I might wait until there are more 3rd party cases. All I wanted to know is what is the 'goon approved' case of choice? She won't really want a keyboard attachment, just something that will cover the whole of the iPad. Also I'm jealous now and I want to upgrade my perfectly fine iPad 2!  Also, also, I keep making a habit of starting new pages!
