now imagine closing this up. the part of the case that is on the desk (probably dusty, or dirty) will be flush against the screen. ie. part of what is normally the inside becomes the outside when you put it down like that

incase

here, no part of the inside of the case ever comes into contact with anything other than the ipad.

do you see? :)

Yep, got it. Even looked for that but still saw it going over the top and thus working the same... Doh.

Still a lot for a case.

exchange rate of around $1.41 - $1.44 to the £ , a bit less than I have experienced elsewhere recently but not massively different (that said I was only spending about $40 earlier )

Wonder will there be subsidised versions with 3G

This just in from the Guardiantech twitter feed:
Apple delays international launch of iPad due to "surprisingly strong US demand". Story to follow. What's your reaction?
Can't get 'em out of the factory fast enough, more like...

So that bit in the thing last week where the guy was specifically asked if the global launch would be delayed and insisted it wouldn't was a lie then. :lol:

Oh FFS.

Not sure I'm even going to bother - getting fed up with Apple treating the rest of the world like we don't exist

So you are fed up with Apple treating their own country / market better than somewhere abroad.....

No, I can see why they'd give priority to their own country first, my gripe is that they completely ignore us.
i.e. SPIT THE PRICE OUT ALREADY - but no, we can go to hell for another month while they just pretend we don't exist.

*grumble* but you just know that Apple's stuff is so sexy that Jobs could practically do that "give me a BJ for it" scam and we'd forgive him..

So anyway, looks like I'll be getting one posted from a friend in America. And seeing as there's officially no import duty on iPads (not just for Bundlebox, this has been checked with Customs) it's probably cheaper than waiting and getting shafted anyway :)
