iPad reviews: PadPal Convertible and the PadRide In-Car Carry Case
(Page 1 of 2 )
To finish up the TrendyDigital theme of iPad accessories, here are two more selections that the manufacturer has developed. Both the PadPal and the PadRide cases bring multi-functional usage to the table, and help you get the most out of your iPad.
PadPal Convertible Case
The PadPal Convertible Case is an iPad accessory that will appeal to those who want to get the most bang for their buck. If you are already wiped out financially from purchasing the iPad itself, you likely do not want to go on a shopping spree to buy a different accessory that just suits one purpose. Luckily, the PadPal kills two birds with one stone by providing protection plus an added ergonomic feature.
At first glance, the PadPal is not much to look at. It has a simple design that resembles a large daily planner on the outside. The shiny black exterior has a leathery texture and makes the case an accessory that can be taken into a variety of settings, such as an office or to a place that is less formal. The exterior also features some gold stitches throughout to keep its look from being too monotone. The PadPal is not bulky by any means, which will be a plus for many who travel frequently with their iPads. It weighs just 0.5 pounds and has just enough material to protect the tablet without adding unwanted weight or bulk.
Opening the PadPal reveals a holding compartment on its right side. Installation is quick; it's as easy as sliding the iPad into the compartment. Once in the compartment, the iPad is protected on all of its sides. Despite this protection, you will not lose any functionality. There are cut-outs surrounding all the essential ports and buttons, and you can even charge the device while it is inside the case.
Perhaps the biggest selling point of the PadPal is its ability to be converted into a stand. As most iPad users have found, the iPad can be a hassle to use after a while without a proper stand. The PadPal addresses this issue, and will allow you to view the iPad comfortably in a hands-free manner.
Converting the PadPal into a stand is done by using one of the four grooves on the interior left-hand side of the case. Each of the grooves gives you a new viewing angle, so you can adjust the iPad to your liking. When you are ready to hit the road, you can convert the case back to its normal form and close it. The iPad will not fall out as you carry it, since the case has two magnets that keep it shut.
If you want to get the most out of your money and need a carrying case as well as a stand for your iPad, the PadPal Convertible Case is a good choice. At $39.99, it acts as two accessories in one.
