ACCESSORY GUIDE<br />

IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE<br />

Built-In Stand Cases<br />

The only thing that’s glaringly missing from the iPad is a stand for video viewing purposes. Developers<br />

struggled last year to build stands into the backs of their iPad cases, but some of the smarter designers<br />

have recently figured out ways to integrate this feature, or include it as a detachable add-on.<br />

Macally Dualstand 2<br />

At this point, Dualstand is one of the top cases for the iPad<br />

2 - a spiritual sequel to Macally’s MetroLpad with complete<br />

side button coverage, perfect cutouts for all of the necessary<br />

openings, and nice bezel protection. The big plus: two builtin<br />

stands - one for typing, the other for video.<br />

We’re not fans of the black and yellow color<br />

scheme, but it’s a trade-off for the functionality.<br />

$30<br />

Macally Ecostand 2<br />

Ecostand combines a hard<br />

iPad 2 plastic shell - a good<br />

one at that - with a detachable,<br />

articulating bamboo stand; a<br />

magnet holds them together.<br />

It may seem strange,<br />

but it actually works<br />

well and looks nice.<br />

$40<br />

DigiPower<br />

Coffee Clutch<br />

With a purse-like handle<br />

and detachable shoulder<br />

strap, Coffee Clutch is geared<br />

toward the female iPad 1 user.<br />

A stand on the back flips out<br />

for photo and video viewing.<br />

Unlike similar original iPad competitors, it’s easy<br />

to get the tablet in and out of the case. We like the<br />

elegant design, and appreciate the affordable price.<br />

$30<br />

Incipio Silicrylic/iPad 2<br />

Enhanced from the first-gen<br />

iPad version, Silicrylic mixes a<br />

soft rubber case with a hard<br />

rear shell, now with a flip-out<br />

stand built in. Anti-glare and<br />

crystal screen film is<br />

packed in; three color<br />

combos are available.<br />

$50<br />
