Question on iPad sleeves.

Background: I already have a 16GB Wifi iPad (thanks to string), as well as a clear case and screen protector (that I am happy with).

I am now looking to get a sleeve as I'd like to stick it into my backpack (either my current proper laptop backpack or a crumpler bag).

I have narrowed down the following sleeves, which I would like to get your opinions on (if you have already used it), and as to whether or not you are aware if they can be sourced locally. I am trying to decide which to get.

(1) Griffin Technology's Jumper, a neoprene sleeve

(2) Belkin's Pleated Sleeve

(3) Hard Candy's Bubble Sleeve

Also, is anyone using a decent good black leather folio style case? e.g.

(4) Mivizu's Primo iPad Leather Case

Thank you in advance for your inputs and opinions smile.gif

If your clear case is the Nude, then the Waterfield Slip Case is the perfect match. However, I understand that you need it sourced locally so that may not be a feasible option.
Hi String,

I did end up getting the SwitchEasy Nude btw smile.gif Got it over at the Gardens side after I met you at KLCC (thanks again!).

Right now, I am leaning towards Griffin's Jumper, which does allow me to purchase it from the Griffin store in the US and have it mailed into the country. I will also check out the Waterfield Slip Case to see if it can be shipped in - thanks for the pointer in that direction, will check it out smile.gif

P.s. String, you have been an amazing help, all the way through from getting the iPad and providing post-purchase advice to me too smile.gif I am still setting it up for work applications, so thanks to your US iTunes advice, I got the account setup and loaded with US$150 and started with Keynote, Pages, Numbers and Appigo's Todo, plus the requisite Bloomberg, Financial Times and WSJ (mine will be a gaming-free setup / entertainment-free setup, and actually will not be used to run youtube, photos, etc). I have never really been an Apple fan, but thanks to your guidance, you have actually started making the Apple experience enjoyable for me smile.gif I have actually started using it to manage a business remotely, as well as running stock market and banking transactions.

P.p.s. hope the flying's going well!

I'm glad it all works out for you. Looks like we have "switcher" in our hands coming up soon. tongue.gif

I would suggest going to www.ilounge.com for your iPad accessories needs. They have first looks, reviews and tons of pictures for you to scrutinize before you decide which one to get. For anecdotal or "word-on-the-street" kinda impressions, head to forums.macrumors.com and head to the iPad and iPad accessories section. They have loads of reviews, especially if you're looking into folio-style cases.

Good luck! I'm waiting for my ElementCase Joule stand to arrive to complete the whole accessory hunt. My Muzetto + Slip Case has been with me to Brisbane, and works exceptionally well with what I have in mind. Fits the wardrobe too, all that is missing is a leather jacket and fedora, and it's "Dr. Jones" and not Stringfellow anymore! laugh.gif
If you ever open your own Apple Specialist shop, I will become your loyal customer smile.gif Your Waterfield Slip Case pointer is spot-on. I am going to get the blue version shipped in.

The other item I just decided to get is the Pogo Sketch, so that will almost complete my set-up for work purposes.

Thanks again, String.

Those who doubts the clarity and anti-glare/anti-fingerprint properties of the PowerSupport AntiGlare film, this thread at Macrumors forum shows it all:-

Another good comparison thread :-

These are awesome links. Which leads to the next question to everyone (and I just did a search of recent threads on Garage Sales), is anyone heading to Singapore soon to get the PowerSupport AntiGlare film for iPad? I understand that iStore Singapore stocks it. Are any of you aware of any other retail outlets in Singapore stocking it?

Regards.

I just got the new Marware Black Sleeve. Perfect. RM236 at Machines. Picked it up when I was sending in my Macbook Air for repair last night.
