Accoutrements


iPhone skin, above, from Grove


iPad case


iPad folding cover/stand

When new toys arrive from the electronics industry,  accessories quickly develop for them from third-party makers–not the least of which are ways to carry the gadgets around. 


There are some neat cases for iPhones, laptop computers, and the iPad. Plastic, leather, and here's a local maker, Grove, who has come to the Apple fold using bamboo.


I am fond of bamboo as a construction material. I like the way it looks, and while one can hardly talk about green and an iPhone or iPad in the same breath, the bamboo and electronics together have a nice wry effect, as you can see from the images. Way cool look.


I will be getting one of these cases for my iPad when I get it.

Lady near me on the 14-hour flight had an iPad open the whole time playing movies--and it never ran out of juice.

That sounds better than they advertise. They say ten hours on the battery. I guess it depends on whether your have the wifi and GPS and all on. If you shut down everything but the movie player, that might stretch it longer.

That's why the Nook calls it "airplane mode"
