I take mine with me all the time, use a little portfolio like cover with a zipper that works well and protects the IPad. It does not add a lot to the size, I can still slip it into my purse.

I purchased a leather Belkin cover with the magnetic off/on. It was $40. I bring my iPad with me to work daily. Don't have tons of time to use it always, but it's here and I love it ;)

What? No time? I can't imagine why you are so busy? :D:p

Oh..that does sound like a nice cover. This does auto shut off and comes on when you one it back up, that's nice. I'll have to keep the Belkin in mind for my next one :D

LOL...:sidesplt:

It's actually auto sleep/ awake ~ not fully off and on. But it is a nice feature for sure. There are multiple smart covers with the same capabilities.

Yeah ~ I seem to be doubly busy these days :angel: :angel:

Oh...that is what this one is then....it sleeps an when I lift the cover, it is on....cool.

I saw that one too. I'm kind of worried to have magnets around my electronics. I don't know if that's just me being around of old electronics, but the magnet in a fan messed up the screen on our big screen (you know those things that came out before flat screens?LOL)

So I did end up getting the ipad (new one) in black 16g. We don't have a lot of music or books, and the camera on my phone is better quality, so I don't think I'll need all the space. My phone has 16g of space and I've barely used over 1g so I think we'll be fine with the 16. I'm waiting for my Trtl Bot shell case to arrive so right now we are still keeping it in the box.

Did anyone buy a screen protector? I've heard some brands makes the screen super sensitive or not work well at all.

Also who got the extended warranty?

We had a bit of trouble setting it up bc our wifi at work is password protected. I had to go in and change the privacy setting before I could set up the dang thing, then go back in and change it back to private. Did anyone else have this issue? I assumed everyone has their wifi protected so how did you set it up?

Also it said if no wifi to set up, then use itunes. I tried to select it and it didn't let me. =/

Oh almost forgot. Saw this post on FB today. It said how to make your kids do their chores. Leave them a note that says "Want today's wifi password? Wash the dishes, do the laundry, walk the dog first." LOL seems like it would work! Change it daily, and keep them on their toes.

OMG! I love it! :eek::D

The otter box has a screen protector with it. I have not had any problems with it at all. I'm an otter box fan because they stand behind their warranty. My sons box broke on his phone and he had a brand new one within 2 days. But bottom line no issues with the screen protector.

I did not purchase the extended warranty. My DH is so against them. Thinks they are a rip off. But I do still have time to get it if I want it.

My wifi is password protected but I didn't have trouble. Did you check you wifi using the settings on the screen? I didn't have to use ITunes I don't think.

Go settings, general, then wifi. See if you see yours on there.

You know actually it was a review I read on Otterbox's site that someone said the screen protector made the screen all wonky. I didn't like the look of the OB and the big hole in the back where dirt can get in.

I got the Trtl Bot one which is actually made for toddlers so it's really tough. We're using at the shop and don't want it to get messed up.

As far as the wifi being protected, I couldn't even get to the screen you are mentioning. It got stuck after you choose your location and language. It said pick the wifi and mine was listed but with a lock symbol so it wouldn't let me choose it. On my phone I can choose a locked wifi band but then it gives me an option to put in a password. The ipad did not. I had to manually go in my wifi modem setup menu and turn off the privacy and after finished setting up the ipad (and update the wifi menu on the screen you mentioned) only then could I go back and turn the privacy back on. Weird.

So yours was listed with a lock symbol but you were still able to choose it?

The apple care protection is worth it's weight in gold. Dont even think of not getting it. Your iPad will be replaced, with no problem, should you have any problem. Same goes for iPhone, etc. My iPad was recently replaced because of a small problem. (I worked for Apple for a short time after I retired). Never heard anyone complain because they had purchased ACPP!!!!

Personally I do not like the screen protectors
