When you start looking for a case it can seem that there are more choices than there are iPad owners. There is an ocean of options: hard, soft, ultra-protection, ultra-stylish, colorful, classy, low-cost, high-dollar. Well, you get the idea. It helps to narrow the search by defining your criteria. For instance, right now I’m looking for a case that offers some protection but still makes it easy to remove the iPad for use, say when sitting in a coffeehouse.

The Pogo  Sketch  is designed for trackpads and touchscreens so it works great with the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch and can also be used with the MacBook to emulate a pen tablet. I could have  purchased the Pogo Sketch online , but I was feeling a bit impatient, so one quick trip to the Apple store and I was in business. Awesome. The Pogo Sketch is just the thing to let loose creatively on the iPad. The stylus glides across the iPad’s touchscreen for simple dragging, selecting...

Once Apple’s premiere iPad tablet hit the shelves, it was only a matter of time before luxury gadgeteers got their hands on a few and set to work on creating the most expensive iPads in the world. Mervis Diamond Importers’ Diamond iPad – $19,999 Mervis Diamond Importers bills their offering as “the world’s first diamond iPad.” Available on June 1st, 2010, this elite iPad is bedecked with 11.43 carats of diamonds in a micro-pave setting. With stones graded G/H (near colorless) and VS2/SI1 (slightly or very slightly included), this diamond device is sure to make you the envy of your peers. iPad Supreme Gold Edition – $192,000 The iPad Supreme Gold Edition, similarly to Stuart Hughes’s other “Supreme” devices, boasts a 22k gold shell weighing 2,100 grams and encrusted with 53 flawless diamonds totaling 25.5 carats and individually set in the shape of the familiar Apple logo.
