If I was going fishing, hiking or any outdoor activity my iPad will be in some type of waterproof container in case I get dunked or caught in a rainstorm. Maybe just a zip lock bag but something.

Imagine that, 19.99 for a blue modified zip-loc bag.

I guess the blue color reminds you the iPad is not microwavable

We may need a hall of shame well after April 3rd to shed light on items that meant well, but not well purchased. ;-)

I'm sorry, but that thing, no matter how functional it is, is as ugly as... as... just plain ugly.

Something to keep in mind too, Apple themselves are banning glass protectors in all the Apple Stores for iPhones due to service complaints arising from their use and over heat issues on iPhones, I think too for future iPad protection as well.

I see this thing as a greenhouse effect for the iPad more so than protecting it.

Any one also from the days of cassette micro players and Walkman's near beaches, knows all too well, water sand and gadgets don't mix very well.

I do remember the cassette players & walkmans - "we" are showing our ages tho! And that would be high school class of 85'

Class of 84 for me

But I used to have to service them, I was working in a Hi Fi service shop at the time and constantly had people coming back from vacation, "I was at the beach and now all the sudden my Walkman doesn't auto reverse anymore!"

Like oh really, I wonder why, complete deck replacement and $180 later they were ready for the next water park adventure.

*Cue Beavis and Butt-head laugh track*

You said Hi-Fi.

Actually I am waiting for the DryCASE for this exact reason (well, videos and music)

They expect it to be out in a couple/few weeks.

Camping and backpacking? I worried about rain a LOT on my last camping trip.

Is that the Otter case in that pic, NL? How waterproof is it?

Class of 71 do you recall the reel to reel? I still have one.

I agree! Just try and take my iPad away from me while I am soaking...

or in the shower...

Class of '75 here and I still remember dialing a telephone!
