Currently I carry my iPad around in a Tracker case, which is basically a mini-messenger bag. Now there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with it, but I’m still nervous about using/carrying the ‘Pad in a public place. The Tracker is a soft case, and I worry that even a moderate impact could crack the screen.

As a result I’m looking with ever greater favor on the kind of case which offers a hard cover for the front of the ‘Pad (and I guess I’m going to stop using the apostrophe here -it’s starting to annoy me). There is a Dodo case which looks like a moleskin notebook which I kind of like. It’s made of bamboo, along other materials, so there is at least an implication of Eco-friendliness in the design (but how Eco-friendly can anything be which involves a glass and aluminum device like an iPad. It’s all illusion, sole and mirrors for the mind). The big problem I have with it is that it has a long wait period before delivery -and I’m heading off to Europe in a few more days, and so won’t be around to receive it.

Anywhatever, I’ll be keeping my eyes open for a case. If I spot one I’ll post an update here.
