When Apple first released the iPad in 2010, the announcement was met with an equal amount of excitement and skepticism. Despite its obvious technical superiority over any tablet that had ever been released, some experts wondered if people would actually be wiling to carry around such a large device.

Fast forward several months later and it now is obvious that people are more than willing to carry an iPad with them at work, at school, on the bus, in the airport and thousands of other places. In fact, Apple sold more than 3 million iPads during the first 80 days it was for sale.

Despite their popularity, the fact remains that iPads are not quite as durable as some of the heavy-duty laptops some people continue to use. Because the iPad is certainly an investment worth protecting, it is always risky to use iPads without iPad cases.

Cases.com features dozens of high-quality iPad cases that are built not only to protect your iPad, but also to offer easy access to the device and to fit your personality and style. Because the iPad has so many features that you likely use on a daily basis, the last thing you would like to see is your iPad damaged. In most cases, you can avoid damaging your iPad by using one of the iPad cases like those found on Cases.com.

Some of the popular features on the iPad include:

iPad Screens

The iPad features a 9.7-inch backlight LED screen with a 1024x768 resolution. Thanks to the device’s access to Wi-Fi and 3G networks, you can use the iTunes app to download videos and television shows. Thanks to third-party apps like Netflix and Hulu, you can watch streaming video on your iPad as well.

Some of the best iPad cases for those who love to use their devices to watch TV and movies are those that allow you to fold the cover back and stand up the devices vertically or horizontally. Because the iPad adapts its screen to its position, you can easily watch your TV shows and movies from any position.

iBooks

Up until the time that Apple released the iPad, many of the tablets on the market only featured a function that allowed you to download books by connecting the device to your computer. The iPad allows book lovers to download books instantaneously to their devices over a Wi-Fi or 3G network.

If you primarily use your iPad as a book reader, it is especially important that you protect the device’s screen. Failing to do so could lead to chips or cracks in the glass. A handmade leather case with a magnetic cover from Cases.com can adequately protect the devices screen, while still allowing you to have easy access to it.

iPad Apps

iPad users can use many of the hundreds of thousands of apps available for the iPhone, but there are also many apps available exclusively for the iPad.

If you are constantly toying with your iPad while downloading and using the device’s apps, you will want to find one of the Cases.com iPad cases that covers the back of the iPad with a strong, form-fitting cover while still providing easy access to the screen.
