Coolest Ipad Accesories

By

The original DODOcase was incredibly popular and even made some red carpet appearances. The new and improved DODOcase for iPad 2 is sure to be just as amazing! Very little beats the smell, texture, and heft of a finely bound book but with the swiftly rising popularity of eReaders like the iPad, is this visceral pleasure going the way of the dodo? Fear not! DODOcase is bringing back the primal pleasure of hardback books to the electronic age with their self-titled book bound DODOcase. Read on for a sneak peak of this unique iPad 2 case…

Hand Crafted, USA Made, iPad 2 Case

DODOcase BambooDODOcase DetailThe DODOcase is handcrafted by book binding artisans in San Francisco. They use natural materials and traditional book binding methods to create an actual bound book case for the iPad. Unlike most other folder-over folio style cases this case doesn’t use straps or a frame to secure the iPad 2 in place. Instead, the DODOcase uses pure unadulterated craftsmanship to produce a fit tight enough to keep it secured. The “frame” is hand carved from bamboo which is a soft flexible wood that won’t scratch or mar the aluminum frame of the iPad.

Now More Durable

The material used to cover the iPad 2 case is a black Moroccan cloth covering a newly improved solid core bamboo with a 4 piece tray design that will improve durability and strengthen the case as a whole. This case is custom crafted to match the exact curvature of the iPad 2 and protect it from every angle.
All the ports and buttons around the edge of the iPad are accessible while the iPad is inside the DODOcase, including the dock connector. Be advised that while Apple’s included headphones work with the DODOcase some other third party headphones with larger plugs will not work out of the box. DODOcase states that a little sandpaper or x-acto knife fixes this easily enough though but it’s still something to keep in mind.
The inch thick spine of the DODOcase means that it can double nicely as an iPad 2 stand. With a little care the case can be folded back to prop the iPad up at approximately 60-70 degrees. This angle is great for watching movies, viewing pictures, or using an external bluetooth keyboard. The cover can also be folded completely over the back so that the spine creates a slight incline that is very comfortable for typing on the touch screen. The fact that this handcrafted cover includes these features is commendable because many plastic molded and machine made (boring!) covers do not!

Surprisingly Affordable!

So what does this little piece of art cost? Considering it’s handmade I would have though it could easily go for upwards of $100. In fact, this case sells for $59.95 for the red version, or for $5 more you can choose from the other 11 (!!!) colors, which is extremely competitive considering that the DODOcase is relatively unique in the iPad 2 accessories market. Also, be sure not to miss out on the limited iPad 2 Special Edition DODOcase for $89.95 made from black and white moroccan cloth!

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...
