Very flimsy,
The pictures and description of this case look really good. I was happy to have found it. But when we actually received it, it did not come close to expectations.
First, on the plus side, it fits the Kindle Fire well. The necessary ports are accessible. The inner material is soft and should help protect against scratching.
But on the minus side…
The grommet they use to allow the inner case to rotate is not padded in any way. It could easily scratch the Kindle (ours now has a slight mar on it, in fact). If you do rotate the Kindle Fire and try to stand it, as in the photos, it will probably collapse. The support piece attached to the grommet is very flimsy and can’t hold it up when you try to stand it in the last notch (i.e. most vertical position). You would think if there is a notch that the unit should be able to use it, but it can’t. The other two notches were a bit shakey but it stayed up, though frankly too horizontal to be useful, in my opinion.
The grommet alone is enough cause to return this, but the flimsiness is just pathetic.
We have returned this item.

|Excellent Case,
The BM case fits very well and is very strong, yet feel soft and elegant. All the ports are accessible. I really like the 360 rotating function because this allows you to view horizontally and vertically. With the 3 grooves, you actually get 6 different viewing options when you place it on the table top.
The magnetic closure is a plus. I personally doesn’t like the rubber bands that many other case use to keep the case closed. I’ve had cases where the magnetic closure is very weak, but not this one. The cross grain pattern is something different which I really like as well. The quality exceeds my expectation at this price range and I would recommend this Kindle Fire Case.

|Predictably Remarkable. The best tablet in its 10″ class, but still no 7″ version!,
I was able to secure the new iPad at our local Apple store this morning, as ours wasn’t too busy, but I also got to spend a little time with a review model beforehand. In any case, I’ll take you hands-on with the new model, plus I’ll share my experience from my past two years of iPad ownership altogether, especially for those who haven’t yet had an iPad to call their own. I’ll also reveal a treasure trove of info on how you can legitimately download tons of quality apps and games for free, in hopes of making this the most helpful iPad review on Amazon!
My review tends to run long, so I’ve organized information by section, with headings, to make it more helpful for those just looking for specific info. For example, see the heading “Downloading Apps and Games” for the info on obtaining free apps and games!
First, let’s quickly cover what’s new, and what each means for you:
+ Retina Display – twice the resolution of the iPad 2, at 2048 x 1536 pixels (264px/in)
+ 5 megapixel rear-facing camera – take photos with over 8x higher resolution and quality than the iPad 2 (but still no flash)
+ Dual-core 1GHz A5X processor with quad-core graphics – better multitasking and flawless high-res graphics performance
+ 4G LTE capable – faster mobile connections on AT&T and Verizon when in 4G-LTE-covered network area
If you’re considering the now-cheaper iPad 2, here’s a quick recap of what was new last year:
+ Dual-core 1GHz A5 Processor – better multitasking, 9-times faster graphics
+ 3-Axis Gyroscope – allows for higher precision and more motion gestures
+ Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound pass-through with Apple Digital AV Adapter (sold separately)
+ Rear-facing camera – supports 960 x 720 sized photos (0.6 megapixels), plus 720p HD videos
+ Front-facing VGA-quality camera – VGA-quality is a resolution of 640 x 480 (0.3 megapixels)
+ Verizon 3G model now available – no longer limited to just AT&T for the WiFi+3G model
+ Thinner, lighter and smoother with contoured back – feels more comfortable in your hands
The iPad 2 brought a lot more new features to the iPad lineup, but the 3rd generation iPad still brings us some welcome new features. First, it sports the new A5X processor. Don’t be confused though, it’s not really that much better than the iPad 2′s, and it’s not technically a quad-core processor. The CPU itself remains dual-core, but the graphics processor built-into the CPU chip can compute 4 streams of graphics information, thus making the graphics aspect of the A5X processor quad-core. It’s confusing, I know. To be honest, there was no noticeable improvement in performance over the iPad 2, except maybe behind the scenes where it handles 4x more pixels. In general, everything on the new iPad runs just as smooth as it always has, which is as to be expected from Apple! But I imagine the new processor has particularly been used to speed up image processing for the new 5 megapixel camera, making photography just about as snappy as it is on the iPhone 4S, which I own as well. 4G support was also a nice surprise that had been rumored.
On the other hand, other rumors didn’t exactly pan-out, including an SD card slot for photos and file storage, nor the possibility of a smaller, more manageable 7″ iPad model, but I’m still holding out hope for one in the future. Thankfully, the price stays the same for these new models, but that is as to be expected. As a boon for those who don’t really plan to use the new high-res camera nor need the Retina display or 4G speed, the iPad 2 is going to stick around for a while longer, with a new lower price for those in the market!
===== My Background =====
I’m a website and mobile app developer who’s created a few apps and games for iOS devices, including the iPad. I also develop websites, so I like to ensure that those sites look and perform well on the device too, since it’s continually growing in popularity for surfing the Web with over the past two years. I’ve spent lots of time with both the iPad and various Android-based tablets, and I have to be honest… apps are what make the iPad (and other iDevices) so great. Android tablets have the benefit of price and size, but Android apps available for tablets are terribly mediocre! They’re also not as responsive as the iPad, at least not after you load them up with apps, games and other junk.
I’m no Apple fanboy, but I can recognize quality hardware and software when I see it, and as far as 10″ tablets are concerned, the new iPad simply can’t be beat, but that’s mostly due to Apple’s knack for high-end hardware, plus the ridiculously huge following of quality app developers that Apple can boast about. With over 200,000 apps just for the iPad alone, there’s more than enough to keep you busy!
===== First Impression =====
Unboxing any new device certainly has its appeal, but the…

|Good, but …,
I’ve been a big iPad fan and was waiting anxiously for the third generation to come out. I bought the original iPad, and when the 2 came out, I happily sold the 1 and upgraded. I was thrilled with the thinner, lighter and improved iPad 2. So naturally, when word came out that the third one was about to be released in March 2012, I was right on board to buy one. Sold my 2 and preordered the 3 from Apple the day it was released.
I was hoping the third gen wouldn’t be noticibly thicker and heavier than the 2, but unfortunately it was. I could definitely tell the difference when reading ebooks, which I do a lot. I couldn’t really tell any difference between the speed and clarity of the 3, but to be fair, I didn’t compare the two models side by side. I’ve no doubt the 3 is superior in this regard. I don’t use the cameras, so don’t care about this since I have a very nice digital camera for that.
The one thing about the third generation iPad that concerned me was the heat issue. Shortly after receiving it, I was reading an ebook and noticed the left side was warm. Not hot, but definitely warm enough for me to notice it. This reminded me of laptops I’ve had that have overheated and shut down, and here I was only reading a book. My iPad 2 never had this problem and I used it a lot. I also had some difficulty backing up the 3 to the cloud, again, something that wasn’t ever a problem with the 2.
After reading some reviews of others experiencing the heating problem with the latest iPad, and really missing the thinner and lighter iPad 2 , I decided to return the iPad 3 to my local Apple store and buy a new iPad 2. They had no problem taking it back and I was glad to see the 2 had come down in price. When the sales associate asked me why I was returning the 3, I told him about the heat problem. He didn’t seem surprised and said it was because the 3 has a larger battery.
The third gen has a faster CPU and retina dsplay, but I never thought the 2 had any problems with speed, and the clarity of the display has always seemed fine to me. But I’m certainly no expert. I’m very happy I made the exchange and enjoying using my iPad 2 again. For my uses–books, internet, email and games, the cooler, thinner and lighter iPad 2 is a better choice for me.
By the way, I just want to add that I think it’s unfair to compare the Kindle Fire and Nook to the iPad. These devices are just ebook readers and they’re fine for that–I’ve tried them both. Rather like saying, okay, you can buy this Mercedes or you can get the Volkswagen. Once you’ve used an iPad, you’re totally spoiled and trying to browse the Internet with a Kindle or Nook is an exercise in frustration after using an iPad.
