ACCESSORY GUIDE
IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE
FOR ORIGINAL IPAD
Macally MetroLpad
Although we still don’t get the name, this is the best
playthrough case for the original iPad. Macally got virtually
everything right here: the back’s frosted clear to show off
the tablet, while hard rubber covers the sides and
bezel, wisely covering the buttons and exposed
ports. On top of all that, the price is outstanding.
$20
Incipio Hive
Hive is Incipio’s line of gaming
cases, using a distinctivelooking
external honeycomb
pattern to add some shock
protection. At the top and
bottom edges are raised grips
meant to make holding the
iPad easier during gaming
sessions. Button coverage is
good and a screen protector
is included; it’s also
available for iPad 2.
$20
Speck SeeThru + SeeThru Satin
A combination of hard plastic and soft rubber coating, SeeThru
Satin has a flip-open iPad Dock cover that allows for
access to Apple’s accessory when needed. The purple
color really pops; there are clear and black versions too.
$32
Griffin AirStrap
It can be tough to use an
iPad if you’re standing or
moving around. AirStrap
seeks to remedy this with
the inclusion of a neoprene
hand strap on the back.
It does add some bulk,
but it’s certainly useful. A
rubberized frame around
the edge enhances the
protection. Griffin now has
an updated, nearly identical
AirStrap available
for the iPad 2.
$40
IvySkin Quattro-T5
Beyond covering the body,
Quattro-T5 has a unique sheet
of touch-through glass to
protect the screen. It’s available
in multiple uniquefinished
colors.
