Rainbow effect December 14, 2011

By Alex Secerator

This screen protector has a strong rainbow effect (more greenish) once applied. I will post 2 or 3 pictures as "customer's pictures" for the product.

Bought this Acase screen protector for my ipad and also bought the iphone version based on reviews (I always spend half a day reading reviews before buying something). :)

I managed to apply it perfectly (the pictures show a spot in a corner, that is not a bubble). The bathroom trick and scotch tape works (also a rocked blower that I use to clean my DSLR lenses).

It is clear and I like it not being matte. It feels close to the naked glass, but has a little more drag to it.

You can see the rainbow effect in different type of lightning, not just fluorescent (I don't have fluorescent lights and the pictures are taken in bathroom under CFL lights).

It makes the screen and black margins very ugly. You can't see it or it is hard to see it on the screen while the screen is on, but you can see it on the black margins.

Lots of good reviews and just a few mentioned the rainbow effect. Maybe we got a bad batch.. I tried just one since I applied it perfectly. I was thinking to return it to amazon, but will give it a second chance. Will try tomorrow a second sheet, but not in the bathroom. I want to exclude the theory that the rainbow effect my be caused by the humidity in the air. Will try in a dry room.

Will update the review after I test the second sheet.

iphone version has the same issue (front and back, but a little less visible, applied at the same time)

Edit 12/17/11 - I tried to apply a second piece to my iPHONE under dry conditions. Same rainbow effect. Tried the iphone version first because it is easier to apply. Since both are from acase and both had the same issue, I would not spend the time and try another one for ipad. I can tell you that the air was very dry (because of winter heating). Looks like it's not the moisture that causes this.

I applied it perfectly again (on the iphone). Scotch tape is the most important part. Just peel it off and apply and remove scotch tape to the side with dust. If you don't get it straight, just peel it off and reapply without touching the underneath. I used a razor knife to peel a corner, remove the dust with scotch and stick it back.

OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPad -- Ultimate Protection, in Style

OtterBox Defender Series for Original iPad (Black)

OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPad -- Ultimate Protection, in Style 

August 4, 2010

By Michael B. Elness

Style Name:Defender Series|Color Name:Black

After my wife bought me an iPad and I cradled its sleek aluminum and glass body in my hands, I knew that finding a protective case for it was of paramount importance. But rather than jumping into the arduous task of researching the dizzying array of available iPad cases, I already had an idea where to look: OtterBox. My wife and I have both protected our iPhone 3GS's in the company's iPhone Defender cases for over a year and have been very happy with the results. Even after numerous accidental drops, our Defender-clad iPhones look like new underneath their "armor".

And fortunately, a quick check of the OtterBox web site revealed that the company did, in fact, offer a Defender series case for the iPad. Nearly ninety bucks and just over a week later, I am happy to report that OtterBox's Defender case for iPad is everything I had hoped it would be. At $89.95, this case is certainly one of the more expensive iPad case options available, but in my opinion, it is well worth the investment. I do have a minor quibble with the included instructions, but it is far outweighed by the product's overall quality, sheer durability, and style.

Contents:

The iPad Defender product includes a black high-impact polycarbonate shell, a separate black polycarbonate shield, a silicone outer skin, and a self-adhesive protective film. Other items include a microfiber cleaning cloth and a stiff scraper tool for applying the protective film to your iPad screen.

Packaging:

After opening the box, you find your Defender case nestled in a recyclable cardboard tray, along with a packet containing instructions and the other items included with the product. The utilitarian packaging does not quite provide the unboxing experience you'd have with an Apple product, but it suits its purpose well. Fortunately, the packaging is devoid of any unnecessary plastic or other packing material, so it's as environmentally friendly as possible.

Instructions:

Rather than providing written instructions in English and other languages, OtterBox included numbered illustrations printed inside the packet. One set of instructions illustrates how to apply the protective film, while another set illustrates how to remove the silicone skin, open the case, install the iPad, and close the whole thing back up again nice and snug. The packet also includes illustrated instructions for the company's other iPad case (the Commuter series), but they are clearly labeled as such and will hopefully not confuse any Defender purchasers. I really wish OtterBox had also provided written step-by-step Defender installation instructions, instead of relying solely on illustrations. Even well-executed illustrations (which these certainly are) can sometimes be difficult to understand, and I feel that even a sentence or two for each illustration could have provided better clarity. A web URL printed inside the packet gave me hope that more detailed instructions could be found on the OtterBox web site, but unfortunately the instructions for the iPad Defender case were not yet available on that web page at the time of this review. I'm certain that OtterBox will be rectifying this issue soon.

Installation:

By far, the most tedious part of installing this case is applying the self-adhesive protective film to your iPad's screen. The illustrated instructions do a fair job of expressing the necessary steps, but the film application could really be helped by accompanying written steps. As I applied the protective film along with its backing and used the scraper tool to smooth out bubbles, I started to get worried because the tool seemed to snag a few times, causing some small kinks which only got worse as I continued trying to gently scrape them to the edge. Fortunately, once I removed the backing from the protective film, I found that the kinks were not in the film itself, but rather in the disposable backing. Whew! The protective film ended up looking nearly perfect on my iPad screen. Removing the silicone skin, opening the polycarbonate case, inserting the iPad, and closing it all up again proved to be much easier.

Product Use:

First and foremost, the Defender case seems to achieve its primary purpose -- protecting your iPad -- very well. When you're not using the iPad, you should clip the polycarbonate shield over the iPad screen to provide maximum protection. The shield grips the edges of the case snugly, to help ensure that it doesn't inadvertently get knocked off. And when you're actually using your iPad, the shield has a retractable built-in stand which will set your iPad at a nice viewing angle for desktop or tabletop use. Or if you don't need the stand and want to hold the iPad while using it, you can simply clip the shield to the back of the case. Doing so will add a little more heft to an already-hefty iPad and case, so you can also just leave the shield off during handheld use as well. To help protect the various iPad ports, the case features integrated silicone plugs which are easy to open and close as necessary. The case also includes a removable access door to allow you to charge your iPad or mount it in a standard iPad dock. However, I did not test the iPad dock capability for this review.

Style:

Let's face it -- you're not going to buy this case because you're fashion-conscious. You're going to buy it because you (like me) want to provide the very best protection for your iPad, without locking it a vault. That notwithstanding, the Otter Box Defender case for iPad is still an attractive case. The iPad Defender is an imposing-but-stylish black poly carbonate and silicone suit of armor which, like its iPhone 3GS Defender little brother, provides a round protected window on the case's backside to clearly display the Apple logo. When the removable shield is used as a iPad stand, four small black silicone pads provide a secure footing on smooth surfaces. Both the silicone skin and the poly carbonate shield feature subtle checkering at the top and bottom edges to improve grip -- a nice touch.

Summary:

The Defender for iPad is likely the best protective case you can get under a hundred bucks. I already feel more comfortable lugging my iPad around, knowing that it will be able to stand up to just about anything I can throw at it (figuratively speaking, of course). With the Defender series case for iPad, OtterBox seems to have covered the bases quite well, offering a well-rounded combination of protection and stylishness.

The Review of Apple iPad 3 - Things That You Have to Know Before Upgrading Your iPad 2

iPad for Seniors: Get Started Quickly with the User Friendly iPad (Computer Books for Seniors series)


By Imam Sulaeman

If you are planning to upgrade your existing iPad 2 to the Apple iPad 3 (iPad HD/iPad3), then maybe you really need to look into the below opinion of a number of improvements involved in the recent tablet PC device from the Apple Inc. First of all, the tablet comes with Wi-Fi and also Wi-Fi 4G versions. Thus, let us take a look at the following some other tech specifications of the Apple iPad 3 for your own personal reference.

Screen and Sizing

In terms of overall dimension and weight, Apple iPad 3 includes the identical height and width as compared to the precursor but it now comes with the heavier body weight which can be a very unhappy thing. This new tablet includes 241.2 x 185.7 x 9.4 mm in measurement and approximately 652 gr in body weight. The display measures the same size of 9.7-inch but it now features the higher screen resolution of 1536 x 2048 pixels along with higher pixel density of 264 ppi. Consequently, the screen is going to be capable of delivering the more vivid display than ever before particularly for gaming or e-book reading necessities.

Overall Performance

You'll find that this tablet PC comes with the same processor of dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A9 but with the newer OS namely the iOS 5.1 version. Knowing this fact, there'll be some ideas to simply upgrade the iPad 2's Operating-system because it is actually upgradable to iOS 5.1 also. But the good thing is that the successor comes with the more recent chipset that is the Apple A5X along with the larger RAM of 1 Gigabyte. As always, this gadget comes with no micro SD card slot, so the users will be presented with the 16/32/64 GB storage space choice. There's also no major change in the battery power as it will provide the very same stand by period of up to 720 hours along with the talk-time of up to 10 hours.

Digital Camera

For the digital photography needs, this device comes with the more outstanding camera specs when compared with the forerunner. This gadget contains the 5-megapixel (2592 x 1944 pixels) of main camera which has been added with the auto-focus, touch focus, geo-tagging, HDR, along with face detection. The digital camera can be performed as the video recorder with the Hi-def quality of 1080p at 30 frames per second (fps) along with the video stabilization capability. For those who want to conduct a video chat, you will then be able to use the 0.3 MP front camera, however it can just be practiced through the Wi-Fi network only.

Internet Speed
The Apple iPad 3 with Wi-Fi 4G uses the HSDPA (as much as 21 Mbps), HSUPA (up to 5.76 Mbps) LTE (as much as 73 Mbps) and also EVDO Rev. A (as much as 3.1 Mbps). It is unquestionably a lot faster web connection as opposed to the iPad 2 using its 3G-capable connections (HSDPA as well as HSUPA only).


Price Range
The Apple iPad 3 with Wi-Fi will cost you around $499 (16GB), $599 (32 GB) and $699 (64 GB). The iPad 3 with WiFi 4G costs a higher price tag namely approximately $629 (16GB), $729 (32 GB) and $829 (64 GB).

Pros, Drawbacks and Conclusion
The advantages of Apple iPad 3 are going to be the better pixel density and also screen quality, bigger RAM, greater camera specs and much quicker data access speed. The downsides will be the heavier body weight and also thicker body, same processor, no micro SD card support, and the same battery power.

Apple iPad 2 Vs HP TouchPad: An Electronic Gadget Comparison

 

  Invero ® 6 PACK Screen Protector Pack for Apple Ipad 2, 3 (2nd & 3rd Generation Wi-Fi & 3G, 4G) 9.7 inch Includes Micro Fibre Cleaning Cloth

By George Collinsku

Apple iPad 2 and HP TouchPad are two of the most popular tablet PCs in the market today. They are similar in size, but the iPad 2 is slightly thinner than the TouchPad. Often, both gadgets are portrayed in opposite colors: Apple iPad in its signature white, and HP TouchPad in black color. White represents good, while black represents evil. But do the gadgets really represent good and evil? Or, are they just a combination of yin and yang which represents the balance? I guess we should not need to worry about what represents which. We should worry more about their specifications as it is what we would like to talk about.

As mentioned previously, regardless the brand markings and colors, they are similar in size. As a matter of fact, the iPad 2 and the TouchPad have same screen measurement. Both tablets feature a 9.7 inch screen with 4:3 aspect ratio. Further, both gadgets offer same 1024 x 768 pixels of resolution with similar color quality. Each gadget also has a front facing camera although different in resolution. HP TouchPad sports a 1.3 megapixel camera which can be used for video chat. Meanwhile, although smaller in resolution, the 0.3 megapixel camera in Apple iPad 2 has more function than the one belonged to the TouchPad. The camera of iPad 2 can be used for video chat as well as shooting self portraits.

When it comes to the material used, iPad 2 somehow is more solid than the TouchPad. While the TouchPad is made from plastic, the iPad 2 is made from better material. Nevertheless, TouchPad is heavier than iPad 2. Perhaps it is due to iPad 2's ultra thin feature. The 8.8 mm thickness of Apple iPad really beats HP TouchPad's 13.7 mm thick feature.

TouchPad uses the webOS 3.0 operating system while iPad 2 uses the fourth generation of Apple's iOS. The webOS is by far an excellent platform. Some even say that it is better in terms of performance when compared to the highly praised Android Honeycomb. While Android needs to catch up its technology, webOS is already settled. But do not forget that iOS 4 is also a strong platform. In fact, it has been proven that the iPad 2 is 4 times faster than the first generation iPad.

Apple iPad 2 was released in March 11, 2011, while the HP TouchPad will be released later this month. Available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB of storage options, both tablets offer competitive price, ranges from $499 to $599 depending on the brands and storage capacities.

Very good, but a few cautionary points.

Apple iPad 2 Wi-Fi - Tablet - 16 GB - 9.7" IPS ( 1024 x 768 ) - rear camera + front camera - Wi-Fi, Bluetooth - black

  19 May 2011

By David

I'm sure the vast majority of those buying an iPad 2 will be very pleased with it. For the most part it lives up to the hype and is a very seductive piece of kit. After downloading iTunes onto the computer and registering, setting up the iPad is a doddle as it's simply a case of connecting it to the computer and the automatic 'synching' process does the rest.


Connecting to the internet via Wi-Fi with my 'N' router was as easy as entering the password and I have to say the response time of the Safari web browser was very impressive, with pages loading very quickly making web browsing a joy. The screen is a gem being bold and bright and large enough to be regarded as a serious web browsing monitor. The only slight criticism, which is often referred to, is how quickly the screen becomes covered in fingerprints. But I hasten to add the need to clean it only becomes apparent after you've turned the thing off and isn't a problem during use.


Of course, Apps are a huge attraction and there's a lot of fun to be had from browsing the App Store and downloading from the huge amount available, many of which are free and even the paid ones don't exactly break the bank. And apps can be downloaded directly onto the iPad, there's no need to sync them from the computer to the device.


If, like me, you enjoy keeping up with the news and catching up with missed TV programmes then apps like BBC iPlayer, Sky news for iPad, and the (currently free) Channel 4oD are obvious choices and are very impressive on the iPad. A YouTube app also comes as standard and there have been comments about losing Wi-Fi connection whilst using it which I did experience a few times. This may need to be fixed in a future update but it reconnected quickly and wasn't a big problem.


Criticism is bound to be subjective but there are a few things I'd refer to. Firstly, it seems that most people don't appear to have a problem with setting up their email account on the iPad, but for me it was a non starter. I have Outlook Express on my desktop PC and have never had problems setting up email accounts before. But my iPad just wouldn't receive emails - sending emails, yes, but it wouldn't receive them. I spent the better part of two days trying to beat this problem, but tech help both at Apple and my ISP along with lots of forum trawling couldn't resolve it. I tried setting it up manually, then synching OE from the computer, but all to no avail. Others seem to have had no problems in this respect so maybe it's just my bad luck.


The second thing is battery life. In just about every iPad review I've read, 10 hours seems to be the boastful claim and I notice other reviewers here are similarly impressed. Well, perhaps that 10 hours is possible with Wi-Fi turned off. But in my experience using the iPad with Wi-Fi turned on drained the battery in half that time. So, maybe time between charges depends on how much you surf the net. If not, then maybe mine had a substandard battery.


My third criticism is maybe due to the success of the iPad design. It's a beautiful thing and deceptively solid and strong, which is a good thing, right? But it's sleek, slim, highly polished profile makes for quite a 'slippery' unit. Using it on your lap or a table is fine but holding it as, say, an ebook reader (and iBooks, together with the Kindle app, are excellent by the way) can sometimes be a little frustrating as you try to work out the best way to hold it for any length of time.


Then there's the lack of Flash support which means that if you're someone who likes to watch video clips on the internet, or indeed any video content that requires Flash, then you're going to be frustrated by Apple's stubborn refusal to allow it to run on the iPad. There are a few apps and freeware programs out there which attempt to get around this issue but I wouldn't put too much faith in them at present. But if Flash is of no concern to you then obviously this can be discounted.


And finally, there's the price. Although the iPad2 is good value when compared to the original I think those of us in the UK still get legally mugged. To some extent we can thank the VAT hike to 20% which means that no less than a hefty £90 of a 64Gb iPad2 price is VAT. Of course, that's no fault of Apple but it does make the overall cost an important consideration.


If price isn't a concern and you don't mind shelling out so much for something that will probably be superseded by iPad3 in less than a year - and you're not frustrated by the email account problems I had and the niggles I refer to above then I'd say the iPad 2 is a serious contender for anyone looking for a tablet which, by all accounts, sets a standard in terms of design, build, and sheer usability that the 'android' competitors are still struggling to compete wit
