First IPad purchase - very excited

[sbbiomed]

Hello all,

My wife bought me an IPad2 this week for my birthday and I am excited to get it set up to my liking. I will transfer some apps from my iphone over and add some more specific for the IPad. I am also looking for a good case that I can bring with me for business conferences that I can show excel, word, .pdf, and powerpoint files to clients and potential clients when I travel (along with the best apps to show those files).

I am happy to join this forum as well since so far I have found incredible information from all of you on this site.

Thank you,

Steven

Hi there Steven,

That is a terrific gift you received, your wife is very generous . Welcome to the forum, feel free to jump into the conversations and never hesitate to ask any questions. As for a case, it is really personal preference as some like more heavy duty cases while others are perfectly happy with lighter covers such as Apple's smart cover. Please have a look at our forum rules, http://www.ipadforums.net/new-membe...e/2171-forum-rules-everybody-please-read.html.

Again welcome,
