iPad essentials for me

A Listmania! list by William R. Vilberg (Miami, FL USA)
(REAL NAME)   
The list author says: "This is the case that I use with my iPad (both the 2 and the new). I use a Smart Cover and a spec back case. I would love to use the Apple Smart Case but I understand the iPad slips around inside it.

I have the iPad in a stand with a keyboard at my work desk. I use an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard with my iMac, so I like using one with the iPad. The Origami case for the keyboard makes a great stand and protection for the keyboard when traveling.

I know a number of people who have a folio case with the keyboard built in. I rejected that option because I use the iPad primarily for reading. I am fine with the on-screen keyboard, too. So at meetings I like to put the iPad on the table at the slight tilt the smart cover provides, and type. That puts less of a barrier between me and the other participants. The down side is that the keyboard uses part of the screen so I can see less of the content. Your call. I am very happy with my solution."

Incase CL57575 Origami Stand Sleeve for Apple iPad and iPad 2, Black
3.  Incase CL57575 Origami Stand Sleeve for Apple iPad and iPad 2, Black by Incase Designs
The list author says:
  "This makes a great desktop stand and it protects your keyboard when traveling. I leave it on my desk full-time. If I am doing a LOT of writing during a trip, I take it along. Otherwise I just use the on-screen iPad keyboard.

People have had trouble with the Velcro coming off of the plastic. Be gentle."
