Protect your iPad for less then 8.5 Dollars

author Posted by: USBgeek on date Jun 8th, 2010 | filed Filed under: iPad

OK so now you own a beautifull iPad and of course like me you love this machine.

But what if something happends to it?

The back is nice but really prone to a scratch here or there, and how about the glass on the front? yes it is strong and probably does not scratch to easy but do you want to risk it?

My friends at Budgetgadgets.com send me a suprise package that can really help every iPad owener.

  • A hard shell to protect the iPad from bumps and scratches. The one I got (see picture above) is made out of stronge plastic and this one is shiny black. It easily clicks on the iPad and stays in place without any problems. Now all the corners and side and back are protected agains bumps and scratches. If you want to get it of even that is not to much efford but you need two hands because on it’s own it will not come off.
    There is a perfect gap for the volume and tilt switches. This case has a big hole in the middle that shows the Apple logo. Personally I would have prefered it without the hole but it has a huge advantage to. When you normally put your iPad on a flat surface to type you notice it wobbles because it is not flat, now with this case and the hole it does not move at all.
    I really enjoy this case I like the grip it gives me and the protection it offers.
  • The second item was this:

Yes a screen protector. Now I don’t have to worry about the screen getting dirty or that it get scartched. It is nice to be see my iPad protected like this and this screen protector comes with a cleaning cloth so that you can get all the dirt of you screen before you put it on. It is not to difficult to put it on but you need to focus when you do so.

As you can see now my iPad is safe from most acidents that can happen to it and you know what is even better, it does not have to cost much either.
Let me show you.

Bright Black Hard Case costs $5.84
Screen Proctor costs                  $2.47

And that makes the total $8.31 and that is including world wide free shipping. And because the Budgetgadget people like our site they offer you 5% discount on anything if you use the coupon code GM5OFF2 and that will make it that you can have those two items for less then 8 Dollars.

I would say be smart and protect you iPad because it is to expensive not to.

iPhone 4 No Phone yet but buy your case

author Posted by: USBgeek on date Jun 3rd, 2010 | filed Filed under: Uncategorized

Manafacturars are ready for the new iPhone. Even before the new 4th generation iPhone is being introduced to us you will be able to buy a case for it. One of our contacts at budegetgadgets.com send us these pictures of the cases they have in stock right now.

Don’t know if it is smart to get one now just days before the official introduction (or what we expect to be the official introduction) but it could be worth a look.

The case is made from plastic and comes in some cool colors. And if you are not interested in buying maybe you like to see how the phone will look.

Have a look at the cases at Budgetgadget.com and if you decide to order use the coupon code GM5OFF2 to get some extra discount.

iPad and Coolusbtoys

author Posted by: USBgeek on date May 31st, 2010 | filed Filed under: apple, iPad

Here is a real quick picture of our iPad.

As you may have read it took some effort to get this but we made it.

We got the 3G + 64 GB version of the iPad and I have to say after playing with it this weekend that it is just awesome.
It is so nice to sit on a comfy chair and read your RSS feeds or email some friends. It is way more usefull then I though.

But I know you don’t want to hear this you want to see cool things. So we are not gone just review this iPad because everybody did this already.

We will how ever show you cool things like an iPad build in to a car in a way that is secure and safe and can be done by any one within minutes without breaking you car. Of course as you can imagine we need to write about what else you can do with it in your car.

Then there will be more much much more so stay tuned and while we get our first posts ready……

Canadian iPad Preorders delayed!

author Posted by: USBgeek on date May 28th, 2010 | filed Filed under: apple, iPad

As today should have bin the day that we would get the iPad.

But for me and dozen others this is not gone happen. Even though I preorderd on May 10 at 4.30am this didn’t mean anything.
The iPad 3G 64GB that I should have got today is still in a container in Toronto.

Apple used FedEx to ship this shipment and although they have an electroinc tracking system this does not show any actual information. So we preorders where all tracking our packages as it went over the globe and now my ipad in the system states still that it will be deliverd today and it say it is in Memphis. But it it’s both not true it is in Toronto and probably gone be Monday before it makes it way to Calgary.

And that while Apple says that FedEx is gone try to deliver it on the 29 the people at FedEx don’t seem to know about that.

So Apple what does it mean if you preorder? I guess it just tells you how many extra iPad you had to make and the you can just not send it in time.

As you get from this post you know that I am pretty mad about this…..

Lets see what Apple is gone say.

UPDATE: When I called Apple on the phone nr in the email they send me they did not know anything and definitly nothing about the email.
So I decided to try my luck at the Apple store and was lucky and got my iPad 3G 64 GB :)

Later that evening FedEx delivered my iPad that was preorderd around 7PM and that while nothing in there system told me that it was even on the way to Calgary yet. So now I have an extra iPad that maybe I sell or I may return it to the Apple store because I don’t need two.

USB HUB With Network

author Posted by: USBgeek on date May 20th, 2010 | filed Filed under: Hub, Networking

OK this is a little device for special users and there are not to many out there that will need this but I am sure there are some.

This is a 3 port USB HUB nothing special there the USB ports swivel so that it will be easier to plug your USB devices in. But it is more then just a HUB.

Next to the USB ports it also offers an RJ45 network port. If you computer is missing an physical network port then this could be the solution. For instance if you have a Macbook Air with only 1 USB port then this is great it gives you a real network port and 3 USB ports instead of one.

Have a closer look at this USB 2.0 3-PORT Hub with Ethernet
