Hmm... It's pretty stupid on the motorbike, because the moment you get
above 40 it'll rip off & fly into the car behind. I think it must be
possible to mount one on a bike safely though. Waterproofing would be
a factor too. The other uses seem pretty good - though the dashboard
mount would have to take into account airbag placement. It could
become a big, flat bullet ready to slice your passenger's head off in
a fender-bender.

Great fun and ingenious. Personally I think there's an element of 'tongue in cheek' about it. After all no-one is really going to mount it on a motorbike or on the ceiling. Are they?

I have mine velcored inside a leather portfolio. it's in an apple case, with the front cover inserted into the front pocket of the portfolio, and the back cover velcro-dotted to the portfolio inside back cover. feeld great when I carry it around, and offers a decent amount of protection.

quite like the 'photo frame' idea, but did you notice what they didn't have?


KIDS!!!

mmm....maybe a kevlar case is what's really needed?

Hi All

New to the Group and to the Midlands Users Group.

I have my iPad in a Marware portfolio case. its super nice, and great for typing in. the re is a smal hard flap on the inside cover, that when you fold the cover back to use the iPad, the flap acts as a stand. this provide the best anlge to type etc! 

I also bought a mini easle that hold the iPad just as if a painting of course you have guessed it, i also dont have kids!
