]]>More teachers believe that in the coming future, textbooks will be replaced by digital content to quite an extent. Students too have gotten used to the more flexible technological alternatives to physical classrooms. This may well mean that ed-tech is just going to keep growing. Let us take a look at where Ed-tech is leading us now.
Artificial Intelligence
This is probably the top trend in K-12 ed-tech. Ai and machine learning are present in all aspects of learning. It is present in everything from class management tools to cybersecurity. It can be found in Voice assistant and also for content filtering in the classrooms.
But it is still in its nascent stages and relies on human inputs to give meaningful results. However, it does present a prospect to use big data to create better opportunities for the classrooms.
Learning Management System
To create and track e-learning activities and initiatives, a system called the Learning management systems is being developed. It is used to develop and deliver courseware. It is also used to track progress and provide a channel for communication for the class.
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
When combined with Artificial intelligence, AR & VR provide a powerful tool for learning. Together they provide a more inclusive and healthier atmosphere for learning. AI can compute learning challenges for individual students and present courseware that will help them overcome their limitations or to present them with advanced learning material. The teachers can create a much more absorbing and richer teaching atmosphere by using the tools of AR and VR.
Internet of Things (IoT)
This comprises several technologies combined. The growing trend for ed-tech shows that the usage of IoT will become more ubiquitous in the coming years. The applications of IoT in K-12 education are endless.
Gamification
One of the most significant trends that have come to light in the aftermath of the pandemic is game-based learning. Since it brings together learning and the fun of gaming, it adds an extra dimension to the process of learning and makes it more engaging and interesting. Complex concepts can be easily explained by presenting them as a game. Gamification doesn’t require a teacher's presence in the classroom and the learners take control of the learning process. Creating games like PowerPoint Jeopardy, quizzes, and crossword puzzles all add an element of games to learning.
Cloud Technology
This is one technology trend that is set to grow even after the pandemic. Cloud collaborations, computing, and storage have helped to make collaborations easier. Its accessibility and portability mean that the students can work from anywhere anytime. They can store and share projects and work on them as and when time permits. As long as there is an internet connection available to the students, they can work on their lessons and projects.

]]>While the entire world was grimly watching the events unfolding in Eastern Europe, Apple was quietly preparing to make some exciting announcements. Apple’s Peek Performance event was held on March 8, 2022. It was a virtual event, like much of Apple’s events lately. The first event of the year was awaited with much excitement as the rumor mills were talking of several new releases of iPhones and Macbooks and iMacs.
The Apple watchers were expecting to hear of iPhone SE (Third generation), iPad Air (Fifth generation), 27-inch iMac, Macbook Air, and Mac Mini. Additionally, there was talk of software updates and M2 SoC chip. Now that the event is over and we know all the reveals and announcements, let us take a look at Apple’s latest offerings and what to expect at the WWDC which is expected to be held in June or July.
Apple had plenty to offer to its customers at the Peek Performance Event. There are plenty of new devices and exciting products for Apple enthusiasts to look forward to. So here is a list of the announcements for new products that you can save your money to buy:
Apple introduced a new color for its iPhone 13 range. So if you want people to turn green with envy, you can now buy it in green color. While the regular iPhone 13 comes in green, the iPhone 13 Pro is available in a cool Alpine Green. Both these color variants were released on March 18, so you can go and grab one.
Now here is good news for those of you waiting for the 5G version of the iPhone SE. While Apple has retained the same design elements, all the excitement of the new release is packed in the hardware. The SE now comes with the same Bionic chip as the iPhone 13 which as per Apple will make the phone 8 times faster than the old Apple 8 – it is a weird comparison, but should give you some idea as to the speed. Additionally, it now supports 5G and has a 12 Mpeg selfie camera which supports smart HDR and Deep Fusion and a few other camera enhancements not available with SE 2. The New SE has an improved battery life which may be attributed to the more efficient A 15 chip rather than an enhancement in the battery capacity. Overall it is good for an entry-level Apple phone but at a starting price of USD 429, it is pricier than the Android phones of comparable specs. It is available in three color variants Midnight, Starlight, and Red.
There is good news for iPad air enthusiasts. The new Apple iPad Air 5 has discarded the slower A14 chip to the faster M1 chip and Octa-core CPU that makes this iPad Air 60% faster than its older sibling. Apple boasts that this makes its iPad Air twice as fast as a Windows laptop in the same price range. It also has a brighter display and a new 12 MPEG camera with a wide-angle lens. It also supports the Center-Stage software feature and comes with an option that supports 5G technology. The new iPad Air 2022 has a base model price of USD 599.
While all the predictions pointed at a new M2 chip announcement, it did not materialize. Instead of M2, Apple announced M1 Ultra SoC. The Ultra is essentially two M1 Max chips connected with a secret connection feature. What that gives us is a homogenously powerful chip with insane speed. Apple boasts that this mega chip has 2.5 TBPS inter-processor bandwidth. It also has a 64 core GPU, 800 GBPS memory bandwidth, and up to 128 GB of unified memory. That is some serious computing power.
Here is the best announcement to come out of the Peek Performance Event. The new Mac Studio is now available with the super performer M1 Ultra Chip. Mac Studio 2022 is in essence a Mac Mini with some serious enhancements. As per Apple, the M1 Ultra makes the Mac Studio 80% faster than the mac pro. It is capable of handling 18 streams of 8k videos which is a feat no other computer can perform. It does come with a lesser option of M1 Max. The new Studio has four Thunderbolt 4 Ports along with a 10 GB ethernet, HDMI, Audio, and two USB-A ports on the back. The front has two USB-C ports. It is a compact design that can sit under the display. The base price for the Mac Studio is USD 1999.
When a new Mac Studio is announced, it has to be matched with a new Studio Display too. The New Studio Display 27-Inch comes with a 5K retina resolution with 14.7 million pixels. It is supported by Apple’s Trutone Technology and an anti-reflective coating. It comes with 600 nits brightness, P3 color coverage, and 1 Billion colors. The stand is tiltable and can be tilted up to 30 degrees. The monitor also has a 12 Mpeg camera with Center Stage Tech and a 6 speaker audio system and 3 studio-quality mic supports. It comes with a 96W Thunderbolt power delivery. The Studio Display is available at a starting price of USD 1599.
While the rumors had spoken about a lot more products and services to be announced, it seems that this was all for the Spring Event from Apple. However, Apple has already announced the dates for its much-awaited developer’s event Apple WWDC 2022 event. It will be held on June 7th, 2022. As a first, Apple will be holding its WWDC 2022 as an online-only event. Normally the entry to the event costs about USD 1600/- but this year, it is a free event.
Now you can go and check out these awesome new products from Apple and when buying your new Apple iPad or iPhone, do not forget to grab your protective cases at Tablet2Cases.
]]>The past two years have seen phenomenal growth in the usage of the internet with more businesses going online and employees working from home due to the pandemic. But the increased usage of the internet has given a greater opportunity to cybercriminals to expand their scope of operations and find lucrative targets to steal from.
In 2021, we saw big targets such as Acer and Travelex shelling out multi-million dollars to regain control of their data from hackers. The hackers and the cybercriminals don’t just target big corporations for big payouts, they target anyone or any business not alert to cyber vulnerabilities.
While cybercriminals may look to have an upper hand at the moment, it is not too difficult to insulate yourself and your business from becoming a victim. This article will discuss the types of cyber threats you can encounter and then provide you with ways to prevent them.
Cybercrimes can be classified into three broad categories based on the target victim. These are – individual, property, and government. The level of sophistication increases with each different category. There are several ways that criminals can attack online. You need to be aware of all the different threats that are out there and find ways to insulate yourself against these threats. The most common cybercrimes are:
This is by no means an exhaustive list of the types of cybercrimes. Many other types of crimes also occur on the internet.
Everyone who uses the internet is a potential victim of cybercrime. We constantly hear of data breaches where the information of millions of users across different platforms is stolen and sold on the darknet. The cost of cybercrime in 2021 was estimated to be around USD 6 Trillion. This is expected to grow each year and is estimated to be over USD 10 Trillion by 2025.
The victims of these cyber attacks are increasingly seen to be medium and small businesses with nearly 43% of attacks targeted at these businesses according to a study and only about 14% of such businesses have adequate cyber security.
The emerging trend in cybercrimes shows that it is evolving and now their primary target is the people who use the technology as they prove to be the weakest link in the cyber defense. The chosen method for such attacks is ransomware, credential theft, phishing, and social engineering. The easiest way to get hold of someone’s data is through stolen phones and devices. Keeping this in mind businesses can take the following measures to reduce their risk:
There is no questioning the fact that it is more difficult to hack or break into Apple devices, but they are not completely immune to them either. Cybercriminals are innovative people and they have found unique ways to hack into your secure iPad or iPhone to steal your data, grab your browsing history and capture your passwords. While you may trust the apps that you get from the App Store be aware that the app developers themselves may harvest and sell your data to interested parties. Apple cannot control such data transfer and cannot track where your data finally ends up. However, there are ways you can reduce your risk and not just for iPad and iPhones as these measures work for Android devices too.
Keep yourself abreast of the latest developments in the cybercrime world and install a good cyber security system on your devices to prevent hacking and stealing of your valuable data. Prevention is better than cure so make it harder for the criminals to get to you and your data.
]]>Hey Apple fans! If you are planning to buy a new Apple iPad, hold your horses and read through this article to the latest news on Apple iPads and when you can expect new launches. If rumors are to be believed, Apple may be releasing the new iPad Pro and iPad Air. How true these rumors are and what are the improvements that are being expected? We will discuss all this so you can decide whether it is worth the wait before you put your money out on an Apple iPad now.
While the world was on lockdown and reeling from the pandemic, Apple was busy overhauling and improving its product range. The major change was the introduction of Apple’s own M1 processor to replace the Intel that it had been using so far. The M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max processors have had very favorable feedback and in 2022, we hope to see it transition more of its devices to its M1 family of processors.
In 2021, Apple launched new AirPods, iPhones, iPads, and an Apple Watch update, however, there is more good news waiting for Apple fans with more new launches and updates expected in 2022.
We extensively researched and looked into every rumor we came across and have based our predictions on our findings.
iPad Pro and iPad Mini benefitted from big upgrades last year, including the M1 processor, 5G technology, and Center Stage - an auto zooming technology for the front camera. However, iPad Air, which was one of the most popular iPads in 2020, did not get an update in 2021. So this year, we are expecting the iPad Air to be upgraded to match the other two in the family.
iPad Air has always been a good choice for those who are looking at a budget option for an iPad Pro. Since iPad and iPad Mini were updated in 2021, these seem to be a better choice at the moment than iPad Air which got its last update in 2020. They have more powerful chips and the Center Stage tech which make these far superior to the present iPad Air. This is the reason why we believe that there is an update coming to the iPad Air in 2022. We believe that it will get the camera update with an Ultra Wide-angle auto-zooming camera front camera with Center-Stage.
Will iPad Air get the coveted M1 chip and the 5G band upgrade? That is a question that we need to investigate.
The 2021 iPad Mini has an A15 processor which is also the processor that has been used for iPhone 13. It is a more cost-effective processor so this is the processor upgrade that the iPad Air 2022 may also get. This will make the iPad Air more cost-effective while improving its functionality over the 2020 version.
Whether it gets a new processor or not, the one feature that is sure to come to iPad Air 2022 is the Center Stage front camera. This could be great for its market positioning and it would make the iPad Air compare well with the iPad Mini which was released last year. It would be a newer and larger version of the iPad Mini and a lot more affordable than the iPad Pro making it a goto iPad for most people.
Now coming to the question of when it will be launched, looking at the launching practices for the last few years, and the news we heard on the grapevine, the updated iPad Air should be in the market in spring 2022.
From the whispers we hear, there is another updated iPad pro in the works too. This too could be launched sometime in 2022. The 2021 iPad Pro already has the M1 chip and the Mini-LED screen in the 12.9-inch model. So where will it go from here? It is expected that Apple will improve the design language and add wireless charging capabilities and a glass back to the iPad Pro. We also heard rumors that it may come with a reverse wireless charging capability to let it charge devices like AirPods. It is also expected to use the mini-LED screens for the iPad Pro 11 inch version. Besides these changes, there are also chances of a new Apple pencil being developed and launched along with the iPad Pro 2022.
The new iPad Pro is expected to be launched in Spring or Autumn of 2022.
This is the entry-level model of the iPad but it still comes packed with solid technology. This tablet is targeted at the education sector where affordability is a prime concern. If Apple wants to continue to be in this segment, it needs to keep the price comparable to the Chromebooks already in the market. To keep the cost low, Apple is likely to keep the expensive tech out of this iPad.
What we expect in the updated iPad 10.2 inches is to continue with the old screens, Touch ID, and home button. It will use cheaper housings and older chips as well as 4G modems. It already has the Center Stage tech and an upgrade on the storage space in 2021 so we are not expecting any other radical changes in this model.
We expect this model to be available only in autumn 2022 or even spring 2023.
The new iPad Mini was released in the autumn of 2021. This update made it better technologically than the present iPad Air, hence we do not see any more updates coming to this model in 2022. Historically too, Apple has updated the Mini models less often than the others, so we do not expect any new improvements in the near future.
Keeping in mind the technological advances that Apple has made and the patents it has filed in 2021, there are exciting things to come in the future. You can expect new wearables and folding phones. You can also expect slimmer, lighter Macs too. But all that we will reserve for another blog. Right now, we sign off by saying, if you plan to buy an iPad, wait a few months before you finalize your purchase. So go start looking for ways to protect your new iPad by looking at some exciting iPad covers.
]]>Many of these digital devices we see every day can be easily connected and that too without the need for any wires. There are various ways to do that but Bluetooth is one of the most popular technologies for connecting devices wirelessly. It is available readily in most of the devices that we use these days including our phones, laptops, PCs, speakers, earphones, computer keyboards, mice, iPads, tablets, printers, scanners, and a whole gamut of devices.
While we may use the term Bluetooth almost every day, few of us know what it is and how it works. Well, this article will tell you all that you need to know about Bluetooth technology, how it works and what are the latest developments in this technology.
Simply explained, Bluetooth is a wireless technology used to share data over short distances. It uses radio signals to transmit data between two devices. Each Bluetooth device comes built-in with a transmitter and receiver which help to send and receive signals that allow two or more devices to communicate without the use of wires. It was first developed in 1998 to eliminate the use of cables to transmit data. The range of most Bluetooth devices is about 10 meters or 33 feet approximately. This range is reduced if there is an obstacle such as a wall or a partition present between the paired devices. However, there is a class of Bluetooth devices that can transmit up to a distance of 100 meters or 330 feet.
Bluetooth uses Radio Frequencies (RF) to connect and transmit data. It uses ultra-high frequencies (UHF) between 2.402 GHz to 2.48 GHz. It uses 79 different frequencies to transmit data.
Bluetooth devices autodetect and connect to other Bluetooth-enabled devices. They can connect up to 8 devices connect at a time. There is no interference between these connected devices as each pair uses a different frequency from the band of 79 frequencies available, to connect and communicate with each other.
The devices that need to communicate randomly pick available frequencies and use a system called spread-spectrum frequency hopping to change frequencies if they are already taken. Typically, a pair of connected Bluetooth devices constantly change frequencies and this can happen thousands of times in a second.
When devices connect using Bluetooth, they create a mini network which is called a piconet. Other devices can be connected or disconnected to a piconet at any time. Each piconet has a ‘master’ device that connects to up to seven other active devices – called ‘slave’ devices. A piconet can have other inactive slave devices besides the seven active ones. The master device acts as the controller and decides upon the frequencies to choose and the other devices just follow the instructions of the master. For example, your phone or laptop could act as the master device, and your mouse, keyboards, headphones, and speakers can be the slave devices.
Each device within a piconet can also be connected to other piconets. It can be connected to other networks as a master or a slave. This kind of joining of piconets is called scatternet.
Bluetooth uses a dynamic frequency hopping system, the algorithm of which is determined by the master device. The master uses a random order to hop the 79 frequencies available to it. The hopping pattern is adaptive and excludes those frequencies that it detects are being used by other static devices which do not change frequencies but use a single frequency to communicate. This is why, Bluetooth devices do not cause any interference to other wireless devices such as your WiFi, Baby monitors, TV, microwave, etc.
Yes! Transmissions between connected Bluetooth devices are generally secure and hack-proof.
All the transmissions made through Bluetooth connections are encrypted and in such a way that only the receiving device can read and understand it.
The frequency-hopping spread spectrum system used by Bluetooth further insulates it from hacking and tampering. The frequencies are changed thousands of times a second and at random making it impossible for anyone to tap into the frequency and make any sense of the encrypted data being transmitted.
Since 1999 when the first Bluetooth devices hit the market, the technology has improved a lot. With each different version, it has become faster, more efficient, and less power-hungry. From the first version of 1.0 to the latest version 5.2 released in 2020, the technology has changed with better and additional features being introduced with each. Here is a comparison between each version and its features.
Bluetooth Version 1.0: This was the first version of the technology and, as expected, had many bugs and problems that made it difficult for device manufacturers to use it properly.
Bluetooth Version 1.1: This version fixed the problems that were observed in the first version. It also added non-encrypted channels and indicators for signal strength to the original version.
Bluetooth Version 1.2: This version improved the transmission speed and enhanced it up to 721 kbps. It also improved transmission quality and allowed retransmission of corrupted data packets.
Bluetooth Version 2.0: This was a big improvement on the previous version and allowed Enhanced Data Rate (EDR) technology and also introduced AFH. This boosted the speed of transmission to up to 1 - 2 Mbps — a huge advancement over v1.2. It also reduced power consumption, making the technology more energy efficient. However, the EDR was an optional feature in this version.
Bluetooth Version 3.0: The major improvement in this version was the rate of data transmission which was enhanced to 2 Mbps. It allowed the transfer of huge amounts of data at very high speeds.
Bluetooth Version 4.0: This was the first of the low-energy Bluetooth version. It allowed constant data transmission between devices. It was especially useful when it came to connecting smart devices such as fitness bands and smartwatches. It used very little energy and could transmit large amounts of data at high speeds.
Bluetooth Version 5.0: Introduced in 2016, this version was a truly revolutionary leap over the previous Version 4.2. The data transmission capacity and speed received a phenomenal boost and reducing latency and improving pairing. It was specially designed keeping in mind streaming audio and video through the internet to devices like TVs. It also improved the range of the device from about 50 feet to 100 feet.
Bluetooth Version 5.1: After the major improvements in Version 5.0 smaller adjustments were made in version 5.1. These improvements were mainly in the caching and pairing of devices. This made finding and connecting devices easier. Randomized channel indexing was used to make the process of finding and pairing a specific device easier in a space where there were many different Bluetooth devices present.
Bluetooth Version 5.2: This version hasn’t been very widely applied yet as it was released only in 2020. The main improvement here was with energy efficiency. This version allows huge amounts of data to be transmitted and consumes very little power to do so. Now streaming music or videos doesn’t drain off your device’s battery too quickly. Another improvement in this version is the application of isochronous channels. This allows one device to stream to multiple Bluetooth devices, a feature that was missing so far.
This simple table will give you all the information you need at a glance about the different versions.
It brought to a halt all that we had, until then, considered normal. Countries across the world called for a complete shutdown on local, intra, and international travel and movement of goods, impacting not just our work but ceasing all manufacturing and economic activities.
It is nearly two years since these restrictions started and we have still not been able to find our new normal way of life. The ceasing of all services and manufacturing created a shortage of goods and services across the globe.This has seen the surging demand of all commodities and services now that the world is opening up and goods, as well as people, can move freely ag.ain
However, the price of everything has been impacted by the rise in shipping costs worldwide. To give you a fair idea of the rise in shipping costs, the rates for Capesize vessels – that are the largest ships and are
used to carry dry goods – have increased ten times in the past few months from $3000 in February 2020 to almost $32000 now. Most experts agree that the rates have not even peaked yet and are likely to increase even more before they settle down to a reasonable level that can match the pre COVID 19 pandemic shipping costs.
Now the question we are faced with is – what is causing this huge surge in shipping costs. In this article, we will take a look at the causes of the substantial increase in the shipping cost.
Since the world started opening up to travel and trade again there has been an increase in demand for goods and raw materials as the world tries to catch up with nearly two years of pent-up demand and supply. This means there is more pressure on the transportation and logistics for movement of materials from one place to another. This imbalance in demand and supply is one of the major reasons why the shipping costs have soared in the past few months. Let us examine all the causes that have contributed
to this increased freight rate.
The most important contributor to the increase in freight rates is the demand and supply of available containers and transport vehicles to carry the goods across the oceans and lands. With a bulk of the goods and materials being moved via the seaways, the demand for containers has increased several times. However, the supply of containers and the capability of ports to handle the traffic has not increased. This has caused a shortage of containers for shipping. The intense competition for the available freight capacity, as the countries open up to trade again, is thus pushing up the freight rates.
While on the one hand there is competition for the available containers, on the other hand, there is also reduced capacity for ports to handle the containers coming in. This is mainly due to the COVID related restrictions and quarantines that have been imposed by countries not only for crew and vessels coming into the port but also for the workers working at the port. Most ports across the globe are working at reduced capacity. This has caused congestions at the ports. Over the past months, there have been many delays caused by port closures causing delays in attending to the vessels.
Increase in the number of canceled port calls by shipping companies has added to the woes of the shipping industry and further reduced the number of available containers and vessels. The increase in port cancellations has been mainly due to port closures and delays. Once this problem has been addressed, it will result in a decrease in the blank sailing rates.
Most shipping companies reduced the number of ships they were sailing during the pandemic. A large number of these ships still remain out of action causing a shortage of vessels for transportation. Coupled with that is another factor: the location of the containers. Major manufacturing hubs have seen a rise in the number of outgoing containers while the number of containers that return remains smaller. This has caused a trade surplus and increased the cost of transportation of each container. This shortage of containers at the right place has impacted the movement of low-cost and bulky goods the most and has forced importers to increase prices or to look for local alternatives to imported goods.
With the festival season approaching, there is an increased demand for goods across the globe. This peaking of demand for stocking the inventories for the festive season has been another contributor to the increase in shipping rates.
When it comes to the healthcare industry, storing, securing, and accessing patient data is of utmost importance. In traditional healthcare facilities, virtual desktops and workstations are used to collect and store patient information. This is a complex and cost-intensive system where resources are often wasted. It is also difficult to manage, maintain and secure.
However, there is a better solution that eliminates the need for Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDIs) and fixed workstations while simplifying the task of healthcare workers. This solution involves the use of Chromebooks.
Chromebooks make it easier to access, update and keep track of electronic health records (EHR) of patients. It has proven its usefulness, reliability and tested its mettle during the pandemic. Let us take a closer look at Chromebooks to know what they are and how they are helping the healthcare workers by giving them greater flexibility and mobility.
What is Chromebook?
Chromebooks are laptops or devices that run on Google’s Chrome Operating System (OS). These machines are designed to be fast, reliable, and secure. They are lightweight and affordable making them a very attractive option for the healthcare industry. Chromebooks are ready-to-work staright out of the box and need no additional updates or setting up of applications. Just pop open the lid, fire it on and you are ready to start. They have already been very successful in the education field and now are ready to take on other industries including the healthcare industry.
Let us take a look at what makes Chromebooks an ideal IT solution for the healthcare industry.
Why Chromebook?
Hospitals, like all the other organizations, are constantly looking for ways to reduce costs while providing better services. This can be achieved by reducing overheads and increasing the efficiency and productivity of the workforce.
Chromebooks tick all the boxes for helping streamline operations and reduce costs for hospitals.
Looking at these features, we can see their immense potential in the healthcare industry. This brings us to the next question of how it can benefit the healthcare industry?
Benefits Of Chromebooks For the Healthcare Industry
Given their flexibility, compatitbilty and mobility, Chromebooks make an attractive alternative to the average laptop or archaic and labor-intensive fixed workstations and PCs. Let us see how it benefits healthcare facilities and workers.
We have only touched the tip of the iceberg here with the immense possibilities the Chromebooks offer to the healthcare industry. Besides the medical staff and healthcare workers, Chromebooks also help the patients. They can be used as self-service kiosks and digital hoardings to facilitate the patients and provide essential information to the public.

The original Apple Pencil and the Apple Pencil 2, released in 2015 and 2018 respectively, let you replace your wobbly finger with a slender and accurate stylus, which is vital for many creatives and workers alike.
]]>The original Apple Pencil and the Apple Pencil 2, released in 2015 and 2018 respectively, let you replace your wobbly finger with a slender and accurate stylus, which is vital for many creatives and workers alike.
If you’re considering buying an Apple Pencil, or have one and want to know how to make the most of it, then this guide is for you, as it includes everything you need to know about the Apple Pencil.
Apple Pencil
You can pick up an Apple Pencil from Apple’s website, and we’d recommend doing so as it’s often the same price there as at third-party retailers, but you can get the Apple Pencil 2 engraved there for free.
The original Apple Pencil will cost you $99 / £89 / AU$145, while the Apple Pencil 2 is slightly pricer at $129 / £119 / AU$199. However, the styluses are compatible with different tablets, as we’ll get into, so picking the right Apple Pencil for you isn’t just about choosing the one in your price range.
Apple Pencil vs Apple Pencil 2
The choice of which Apple Pencil you should buy is easy: if you have a 2018-model iPad Pro 11 or iPad Pro 12.9, you should check out the Apple Pencil 2, but the original stylus is compatible with older iPad Pro models as well as a range of newer iPads in other ranges. You can see a full compatibility list here.
There are a few major differences between the newer and older Apple Pencils. The Apple Pencil 2 snaps to the side of your iPad magnetically, and charges wirelessly when it’s in position, so it’s very easy to use. On the other hand, the original Apple Pencil charges when plugged in to the tablet, so it’s far more fiddly to power up.
The Apple Pencil 2 also has a double-tap function, so in certain apps you can quickly press the lower portion of the stylus twice to switch back to the previous tool you were using. This double-tap feature can also be set to show the color palette or activate the eraser.
Apple Pencil 3
There are rumors that Apple is working on an Apple Pencil 3 for its new iPad Pro 2020 models. We’re not totally sure if this is correct, since the Apple Pencil 2 has only so far been compatible with two tablets compared to eight for the original, but it’s certainly possible.
One rumor suggested there could be a touch-sensitive panel on the side of the next stylus, that would let you swipe in directions to access certain tools or, for example, scroll through web pages. The same rumor also posited that there could be a camera on the Apple Pencil 3, though we’re not exactly sure what purpose that would serve.
We’ve also heard the Apple Pencil 3 could have haptic feedback, which means the stylus would vibrate or shake to tell you certain things. It could also detect how hard you’re gripping it, so squeezing it would trigger certain functions.
If you’ve bought an Apple Pencil and want to know how to make the most of it, here are some tips and guides on how to properly work the stylus.
Compared to some other peripherals like headphones or wearables, an Apple Pencil is super easy to connect to your slate, as your iPad will do most of the work automatically.
First of all, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPad, otherwise the stylus won’t work. To do this, head into the main settings menu, or pull down the Control Center, and turn Bluetooth on if it isn’t on already.
Now, for the original Apple Pencil, remove the cap at the end to reveal the Lightning Connector and plug this into the Lightning Port on your iPad. For the Apple Pencil 2, simply connect the stylus to the magnetic strip on your iPad Pro.
The Apple Pencil 2 will pair automatically, but for the original you need to tap a prompt first. Now you’re all set up.
It’s worth pointing out that with the original Apple Pencil if you turn off the iPad, enter Airplane Mode, or connect the Apple Pencil to a different iPad, you will need to go through this pairing process again.
How to charge an Apple Pencil
Once you’ve paired your Apple Pencil to your iPad you’ll want to charge it, but that’s very easy – simply leave your Apple Pencil plugged in (for the original) or mounted on the magnetic strip (for the Pencil 2) and the stylus will power up.
The original Apple Pencil also comes with an adapter that lets you connect it to your iPad charger if you’d prefer.
Charging is pretty quick, so the Apple Pencil won’t be out of action for long at all. When you connect the stylus, the iPad should inform you as to how much battery is left, so you should know if you just need to power the stylus up for a few minutes or for a longer period of time.
Apple Pencil tips and tricks
If you’re new to the Apple Pencil, or stylus gadgets in general, there are a few things to know that could really help you use the Apple Pencil.
It’s worth knowing for example that you don’t need to press too hard with the stylus onto the screen for inputs to be picked up – in fact, the iPad understands how hard you’re pressing, and many sketching apps and the like will therefore adjust the mark left depending on the amount of pressure. But for general note-taking a light touch is all that’s needed, and will help protect the screen.
If you’ve got the original Apple Pencil, we should warn you that charging it can be precarious – since it needs to stick out from the iPad at a right angle, with just a small Lightning connector sticking in.
We’d therefore recommend placing your iPad down flat on a surface while the stylus charges, to avoid you knocking the Apple Pencil and snapping the connector. Or take the iPad out of the equation and use the supplied adapter for charging.
You should also know that when you’re using the Apple Pencil, it won’t work for all functions on the device. Swiping up from bottom to bring up recent apps, or from the top to bring down the Control Center, for example, will still only work with your finger. This is actually pretty useful, as it will stop you accidentally triggering the wrong function if you draw to the edge of the screen with the stylus.

You just spent a fair amount of money buying an iPad Pro and are ready to become the master of productivity on the go. After a few hours of working, it's time to call it a day, but your little one is making a line to play some games on it.
The new iPad Pro 2020 11-inch and 12.9-inch have great performance, and this is something your kids can also take advantage of. The large screen makes it great for painting, watching a movie, reading a book, or even playing multiplayer games. With the pandemic around the world, having such a large screen can also be beneficial for video calls with family members and friends.
The iPad Pro comes with a slightly hefty price tag and should be protected from damages, specially when handed to kids.
Our cases, not only offer protection, but also improve the functionality of the device. We have worked really hard to push through with the new updated iPad, and came up with the best rugged cases you can find in the market for your kids.
These are durable, shockproof cases for Apple's new iPad Pro 11-inch and 12.9-inch devices. They are ideal for children, but can also be of great use for seniors.

Each case is treated with SteriTouch, an FDA-approved anti-bacterial additive that destroys bacteria that cause odors, staining, infection, and contamination.

Since the fit of the case greatly affects how well it works, you’re going to want to double check your model and case match up.
We have cases made of silicone, and also EVA. The EVA cases are more bulky but offer an extra notch of protection. You need something that surrounds completely the device while leaving access to all ports. A raised screen bezel is also a must. You certainly don't want to scratch that nice screen.

"We’ve named this colorway Slate Green because the desaturated green blends the graphite-like appearance with both cooler forest greens and warmer khaki tones arriving at a subtle and complex color finish. It’s a mature, sophisticated tone that will hold its own among our contemporary designs." - Mujjo
✔ Fully wrapped with premium full-grain soft, supple leather
✔ Creates a super-slim profile
✔ The leather bezel rises 1mm above the edge of the screen to protect from abrasive surfaces
✔ Lined with luxurious Japanese microfiber with a sophisticated satin-like finish
✔ The buttons covered in leather, designed explicitly for responsiveness
✔ Give your case personal character with leather that acquires a unique patina with use
✔ A natural product, unlike any other case
✔ The texture of each case is different, making them unique & beautiful
✔ Choose Black color if you don't want color patina to change
Being that Mujjo cases are made of quality leather, you can enjoy the case taking on patina. This means your case will look better over time.
A soft sheen that develops through use and exposure on the surface of the material which provides a character, a personality, to the product.
Exposure to the elements is the purest way for patina to thrive. Different elements, though, provide different finishes. For instance, sunlight and heat will bring out our leather’s golden tones whereas rain and sea water will leave splash marks and natural oils from your hands will cause darker patches to form. The best way then to speed up the patina process is to simply use your case. Use it all the time, every time you leave the house without being delicate. The more the leather is exposed to the outdoors, the better.
The new Slate Green color is available in both variants; Leather Case and Leather Wallet case, so you'll get the same popular case that you've seen in the past, but in a nice new color.
Both Leather Cases fit like a glove. They hugs the phone beautifully with the leather wrapping over, around the corners and into the inside of the case which is lined with a buttery soft layer to protect your phone.
Designed with fuss-free travel in mind – a Mujjo original praised for its functionality and form. Combining two of your daily carry essentials into one sleek package, able to hold 2 or 3 of your cards, such as ID and bank cards, this leather wallet cover protects your iPhone and eliminates the need for bulky pockets.
The case interiors are lined with the finest Japanese microfiber, a slim, super-strong fabric that is also exceptionally lightweight. With a sophisticated, satin-like finish, this material provides luxurious padded comfort for your iPhone 11 Pro.
The leather rises 1mm above the edge of the glass, creating a raised bezel that keeps abrasive surfaces away from your screen.
Speaking of details, the buttons are fully covered in leather, which adds to the sleekness of the overall design. The optimized button profile is specifically designed and tested for responsiveness and ease of use – the result of a production process that we’ve meticulously refined. The camera opening and mute button are tapered inwards for effortless use and a smooth aesthetic.
The cases exude immaculate craftsmanship, delivered through the high quality of the full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, which looks terrific when you first start using the case – and even better over time when it’s had a chance to patina. The color becomes richer and the character comes through as you use it and abuse it – every stain, every scratch makes it yours, and unique to you.
In today’s world, being mobile is almost a necessity, not only for work, but also to sit back and relax. Having a good surface that lets you get what you want done can sound easy to find, but it is not.

How can you maintain your productivity when you can't go into the office? As current home workers know, it requires a change in your routine – and your workspace.
Fortunately, there are several things you can do to make your work-from-home time more productive. Here are five of the most useful tips you can employ if you're new to telecommuting thanks to coronavirus restrictions.
When you're working from home it's important to have a dedicated workspace. If you have a room you can use as a home office – even if it's just a spare bedroom – use it. Otherwise, try to carve out some space in an existing room, like a corner of your living room or bedroom, or the end of your dining room table. Create your space and make it yours – and make sure other family members know not to disturb you while you're working.
Your workspace also needs to be a comfortable space. If you have a desk, that's great. You may want to consider buying a swivel office chair that you can adjust for your personal comfort. If you don't have a dedicated desk, think about using a laptop work table, like the Cooper Mega Table. The Mega Table becomes your desk, giving you a workspace for your laptop, papers, and cell phone. This solution lets you work on the sofa or in your bed – wherever you choose to set up your mobile office.
When you're working on your computer for eight or more hours you need a comfortable, ergonomic keyboard. Some workers are happy with the keyboards built into their laptops, but a full-size external keyboard might be more comfortable and increase your productivity.
A separate physical keyboard is also essential if you do a lot of your work from a tablet. Onscreen typing is okay for short periods of time but not for extended work sessions. A folio case that includes a Bluetooth keyboard, like one of Cooper's tablet keyboard cases, is ideal for home office use.
When you work in an office your workday is defined by the business' hours. When you work from home, you have to set your own schedule. If you're used to going into the office at 8 and working till 5, then create a similar 8-to-5 routine at home. Yes, you have more flexibility when you work from home, but don't abuse it. Set a work schedule and stick to it – don't let yourself get off track due to any household distractions.
Although you might think you're working alone when you're at home, you still need to be connected to your co-workers in the outside world. Take advantage of Skype, Google Hangouts, Zoom, and other similar services to strike up one-on-one and group video chats with the people you used to associate with in person. Face-to-face communication is important – and even more so when you and your colleagues are in separate locations.
Video conferencing should be only part of your daily communications. You need to use all the tools at your disposal – instant messaging, emails, phone calls, and more – to let everyone know what you're up to and find out what they're doing. You don't need long communications but you need frequent ones. It's easy to feel isolated when you're working from home and overcommunicating will help you overcome that.
The tablet, however, is an exception to the rule. Businesses everywhere understand the value of tablets, particularly for staff members who frequently travel as part of their job.
Ever since the original touchscreen tablet was released by Apple in 2010, these slim devices have become quite popular among everyday consumers and business owners alike. There is no indication that its popularity will be slowing down anytime in the near future.
Today, over 1 billion people use tablets worldwide. In 2017, approximately 170 million of them were sold. 2016 did see a bit of a slowdown, but tablet sales picked back up in 2018. It is believed that close to 200 million will sell by the year 2020.
A number of factors can explain the existing and projected upswing for tablet sales. For starters, companies have a large part in stimulating demand. Nowadays, corporations account for as much as 18% of international tablet purchases.
Why are tablets so beloved by companies, though? Tablets are quite portable, functional, and user-friendly. All three aspects explain the rise in popularity among business professionals, executives included.
While the demand for tablets continues to increase, the amount of tablets to choose from have also expanded. In fact, there are more tablets to choose from than there ever have been. As such, it is imperative for consumers to put some research into tablets in order to choose the best one to accommodate their needs.
This article will shed some light on potential tablets for professionals. We will go over several reasons companies use tablets. We will also tell you what to keep in mind when shopping for one.
Now that you know why tablets are a worthwhile investment for business professionals, you’re ready to learn about key aspects to keep in mind before committing to a purchase. Regardless of the industry you’re in, it is prudent to keep the following points in mind in order to find the perfect tablet:
· Intended purpose: before buying a tablet, think about how it will be used by both you and other members of your group. Will it mostly be used to read emails on the road? Will certain apps developed for a specific tablet be used? Will a lot of typing be necessary? Can it perform the same duties that a laptop can? Answers to questions like these can isolate the accessories and functionality needed and narrow down your options.
· Storage: if the tablet is intended to be used to enhance efficiency and productivity for employees, then storage will be a key consideration. Although cloud use is an easy approach to improving the storage capabilities of your device, relying on it exclusively can place limits on its functionality. It is worthwhile to seek out tablets that offer sufficient internal storage space. For iOS and Android devices, think about limiting your options to devices that have at least 32 gigabytes of storage built into them. If you are looking at Windows tablets, you will need at least 64 gigabytes of storage if the processor it’s running on is an Intel Atom. For Windows tablets that have a processor running on an Intel Core, the minimum amount you should be looking for is 128 gigabytes. Having sufficient storage space is necessary for apps to run as they should. They also help you complete workplace tasks without crashing.
· Performance: with regards to the performance of your tablet, everything comes down to RAM and the processor. Random Access Memory (a.k.a. RAM) allows users to multitask. Tablets will be able to multitask better based on the amount of RAM they have. The makeup of a processor establishes how fast the tablet operates, as well as how much of a workload it is capable of handling.
· Operating system: historically, Android and iOS were the two main operating systems for tablets. Today, others are available, Windows included. Every operating system has their own drawbacks and benefits. For instance, iOS has a vast app catalog. Also, their interface is user-friendly. Android offers customization for users, while Windows offers software that many business owners likely already use on their laptops or computers. Do your homework to figure out which of these operating systems will accommodate your needs best. Whether you use Android, iOS, or Windows, you’ll have no shortage of models to pick from.
· Size of screen: the average tablet comes in multiple screen sizes - some are 7 inches, others are larger than 10. Smaller tablets have portability, but at the expense of working space, which can frustrate users trying to perform a certain task. Bigger tablets allow you to perform all sorts of functions, though you’ll be doing so at the expense of portability. No matter how big the tablet is, though, it’ll still be more compact than a laptop or desktop computer.
· Specs: tablets come with many specs. The one to be used for work tasks should be based on what your needs are. For instance, several tablets feature wireless broadband connectivity, while others only provide Wi-Fi. Some tablets have HDMI and USB ports, while others have Bluetooth, too. Some allow you to use a digital pen, and others include a stylus, mouse, and keyboard. It is imperative to conduct some research in order to determine what is available to you. In doing so, you can determine the value of your investment and contrast it to what you intend to use the tablet for.
· Battery life: portability is the biggest selling aspect of the tablet, but if a battery conks out a half-hour into a three-hour flight, portability will be of any use to you. Needless to say, battery life remains a key aspect when selecting a tablet for business purposes. Studies indicate that battery life may vary. Some last as long as 7 hours, others have a 15-hour battery life. Aim for at least a 7-hour battery life period in your tablet.
· Cost: prices for tablets are all over the map. You might pay $100 or less for one, or you might end up paying over $1000. Tablet selections accommodate all sorts of budgets. For example, if you buy a tablet for $100 or less, the functionality of the device will only go so far. Having said that, you likely won’t require a costly tablet if accounts and emails do not need to be accessed away from the office. Figure out what functions are essential to you and base your budget on those necessities.
After taking these factors into consideration and conducting comprehensive research, you can figure out which business tablet will accommodate your work needs best. The most optimal approach to go about doing this is to test a bunch of them out. Holding a device in your hand and playing with it will tell you a lot about its functionality and comfort level. Be patient and thoroughly vet each product before you invest in one.
]]>Educators come up with just as many new uses for iPads and tablets as programmers do. Here are some of the most promising ideas we’ve seen for teaching with a tablet.
In any school, management of attendance records is critical, and tablets beat out the competition as the best record keepers. Get rid of roll call with internet beacons and use tablets to track each time a student enters or exits the classroom. With this system, teachers can save time and know down to the minute how much class a student has missed.
An added benefit of automatic roll call is that the traditional class schedule doesn’t have to be used. Class schedules and free periods can be more freely arranged to meet the needs of students. Teachers don’t have to know each student’s schedule offhand to see if they’re where they’re meant to be.
Education is founded on effective communication between students and their teachers. Students rely on their teachers to present and clarify information, while teachers rely on their students to tell them if they’re struggling. iPads and tablets give both parties a tool to get in contact when meeting face-to-face isn’t an option.
Remote learning is one of the most promising ways to use tablets in the classroom. If a student is unable to come to class but still able to complete homework, their teacher can send them their work instantly rather than have a pile of make-up work waiting for the student’s return. Teachers can also use their iPad or tablet to record or stream a lecture and send it to an absent student for them to watch at home.
Students pack their bags with textbooks, notebooks, homework, and just about anything else you can think of. Not only does this add a lot of weight to students’ shoulders, but it can also cause a lot of stress that they’ve forgotten something important.
Replacing textbooks with e-books and paper assignments with digital submissions helps to keep students organized. When it’s all in one place, it’s down to keeping track of one item. For some students, missing assignments will be a thing of the past.
It can be hard to get students excited about their education, especially young learners. Teaching with a tablet can bring fun to the classroom and keep the little ones interested. Many app games utilize bright colors and upbeat music to make topics such as math and reading more enjoyable. These kinds of games can be the perfect tool for a class that won’t settle down, or to give kids a break from more difficult work.
Even with university students, apps can add variety to otherwise cut-and-dried lectures. Professors can add interactivity to their lessons to keep their class involved and gauge how well their students understand the concepts presented. An iPad game at the start of a class could be a unique icebreaker for a new semester as well.
Technology isn’t useful just for academic subjects — iPads and tablets are fantastic tools for the arts. Students can record music, make their own films, and write poetry all on the same device. Educators can assign a painting project where students’ personalities can shine, all without creating a mess in the classroom. Provide students with a stylus instead of paints and see what they come up with.
Having so many opportunities for creativity has an extra benefit: if students are creating, there’s a good chance they’re collaborating. Teachers can take advantage of this by assigning group projects. Students can use group assignments to practice life skills such as organization and leadership, all the while creating something they can be proud of. They could even put it on their college and job applications. Additionally, iPads and tablets can keep group projects on the same page with shared documents and calendars.
iPads and tablets are designed for a lot of things, but durability isn’t typically one of them. Getting a case is of paramount importance to protecting your devices from accidental damage and from the damages of regular use.
Each school has different ways to use tablets in the classroom. There are just as many cases as there are uses for tablets. It can be hard to pinpoint exactly what you need. We recommend starting by narrowing down specific features you need for your cases. Below are a few examples.
Kids are clumsy. As students increase their use of iPads and tablets, there is an increased risk of damage to those devices. This is especially true when the devices are transported between the student’s school and home. These cases are built with durability and portability in mind.
Not all students are kids. College and university students can be trusted to take better care of their devices, and cases for these students should be picked with utility in mind. Folding keyboard cases offer the perfect blend of functionality and protection from daily wear and tear.
Educational tablets don’t have to stay confined to the classroom. Teachers and students might bring them along for science field trips or forays into nature for photography. For devices that are going to see a lot of outdoor use, a waterproof case to protect against the elements might be the way to go.
For the teacher’s tablets, consider the flip case. It can be propped up vertically and set beside a desktop computer or any other materials the teacher has prepared for class, then safely folded over when it’s not in use.
These are just four unique styles of tablet cases and there’s a lot more where that came from. With so many ways to use tablets in the classroom, it’s more important than ever to ensure each tablet is protected and ready for rough use by students.

]]>Being one of the founders of Tablet2Cases, I have a cheat sheet. I'm familiar with all the products we sell. When the season comes, I've easy access to "gift material".
I help source and find products. Back in the day, Sagi (he's the other founder)and I agreed to only sell good products. What's a good product, you ask? Something that we would recommend and gift to friends and family.
That's the unofficial Tablet2Cases sourcing rule. We stand behind the products we sell. They have to work well and be of good quality.
I gift our products to friends and family every year. There is no shame in a good accessory or gadget. More then that, everyone loves it.
I want to share my gifting choices with you. They'll help you take a few more names off the list. One gift at a time, it will make the gift buying process easier.

Gifted: uncle-in-law's family, wife's sister's boyfriend.
(Most) men love gadgets. Well, at least I do, and most men I know. It's a Macgyver-like trait. We are brought up to be handy. And a power bank is handy.
What's cool about the Orbit? It's a set of two batteries that charge wirelessly in their own dock. Everyone in the house can use it, so it's a gift for a household.
Gifted: father in law, grandfather in law, cousins
Being handy requires warm hands. What's better than winter gloves that keep warm and work with phones? Using the phone inside is the next best thing. But in times when you are out and about in freezing cold, good touchscreen gloves are a true blessing.
Mujjo's winter touchscreen gloves are the best on the market. They work better than anything else we've tried, including North Face e-Tip gloves.
Now, these are not for sending your man to the woods for 3 days. Nor going skiing. These are "city" gloves. Use them for dog walks, driving, commuting.
Gifted: wife's cousins, grandfather-in-law, uncle, cousins, various friends
Every man (I know) has a phone. If you have no phone, then either you are a toddler or you lost your phone.
Being handy means that men drop things, including phones. Gifting a phone case makes practical sense.
Whether you are going for a functional wallet case or a premium leather finish, we got you covered.
Tip: sleeves for laptops and tablets make great gifts too.

A tablet's weakest point is the screen. It is only a matter of time until the tablet falls and the screen cracks.
Unless you have a case.
Gifting a rugged case makes sense for anyone. Whether they use it at home with kids or take it places. It's very practical.
Do check their tablet model first. Ask someone close in their family, then get the gift.
Tip: one great gift is a "kids case" for grandparents. My grandfather has moved away from newspapers to an iPad. He likes my posts on Facebook. Sometimes he comments too. His coordination is not as good anymore, so we got him a kid's case. They are drop proof and simple to use - making them ideal for grandparents as well.
Gifted: father-in-law, uncle, cousins
If the man you are gifting uses his tablet for work or school, then get them a keyboard. It will boost their typing speed and improve productivity.
Also a great gift for those who don't have a laptop. A good keyboard case works like a laptop at 1/10th of the cost.
Gifted: myself and Sagi, uncle, wife's sister's boyfriend, cousins
I like to drive. My car has built-in navigation, but it's cumbersome to turn on. I use my phone instead. Also, Spotify is easier to access by phone.
A good car mount makes all the difference. It's also a memorable gift. Whoever you gift it to will think of you every time they drive. Very thoughtful of you.
The Vice Duo plugs into the air vent. It has two mounts for extra support. I've used it for 3 years now. It's as good as new.

Men like their watches. Mind you, so do women.
Did you know that the Apple Watch is the most popular watch in the world? It sells more units than any other watch brand. Companies like Rolex, Swatch, and Tissot sell a fraction of watches comparing to Apple.
So if your man has an Apple Watch, gifting them a watch box is a great idea.
The Sumato Watchbox stores the watch and charges it. It comes with a built-in powerbank, so no need to keep it plugged into a power outlet.
And it can charge a phone as well. A versatile Watchbox indeed.
Tech gifts for women have more flair. Less black, more vibrant colors for your wife or girlfriend, mother, sister, aunt or grandmother. Protective and practical.
Gifted: I have 3 aunts. Gifted these to each of their families.
To be fair, power banks are great gifts for anyone. At 5,000 mAh each, Mangata Orbit power banks pack a full phone charge. They are also small enough to fit in a purse.
Recharging is easy. No need to connect cables. Dock it in the charging station. The battery will charge wirelessly.
Gifted: mother, wife, mother-in-law, aunt, wife's cousins, grandmother-in-law, aunt-in-law
Okay, everyone has phone cases. I'm the family phone case provider.
This is a no-brainer. Find out their phone model then get them the case.
Tip: sleeves for laptops and tablets make great gifts too.
Gifted: aunts, cousins with kids, mothers with kids, friends with kids
Anyone who has children in your family will need one of these. Mothers in particular.
It's good for gadgets used at home. Even if they don't give the tablet to kids, it's very handy. Plus, at some point, the kid will take it. The forbidden fruit is tempting.
Gift it for reading the tablet on the couch, stand on the table, play movies for children or kitchen top. When the tablet slips and falls on the floor, the worst-case scenario is a small scream. After that, they'll thank you for the thoughtful gift.
Gifted: mother, aunt, mother-in-law, wife's cousins
My mom has three iPads of different sizes. I still don't understand why.
So she loves an iPad keyboard. It helps her type faster and supports the screen.
She is not a heavy laptop user, so the iPad keyboard case combo works well for her needs.
Curiously, my mother-in-law also uses one. It now runs in the whole family.
Gifted: aunts
It's a great gift for women as well. Anyone who has an Apple Watch will appreciate it.
It's great at charging the watch on the move as well. Slot the watch in the box and close the lid. Keep it in the bag while it charges.
I find it curious that kids adopt technology faster. You'll know what I mean if you've seen a 4-year-old use their parents' phone. The other day, we had a chat about this phenomenon in the office.
My theory is that with age, we set in our ways and the tech we use. We become so vested in our methods, that starting from scratch is daunting.
Kids start from scratch with everything. There is no need to abandon technology they've been using for 20 years. Whatever they use, they'll be embracing something new.
Until they get older and fall into the same dilemma.
Anyways, about gifts for kids.
Gifted: aunts, cousins with kids, mothers with kids, friends with kids
Kids cases are normally gifts for parents. It's up to them to decide whether a kid gets his own tablet or not. But with parent's permission, you can give them to kids as well.
If you know any child who is getting a tablet this Christmas, make sure to get them a case. The last thing you need is tears of broken screens at the dinner table.
Tip: Kids cases are life saviors on family trips. Want some peace on the airplane? Give the kid cartoons to watch. Want peace and quiet in the car? Mount the case with a shoulder strap to a car's headrest. Want to sunbathe on the beach for 30 minutes? Give your kid the tablet to play some games.
You will thank me later.
Gifted: no one yet, launched this year
Perfect gift for anyone in university. Dorms have small rooms. Long study sessions at the table can be hard. Every little change helps.
The Mega Table can be used on the bed, floor or couch.
This table is also great for kids at home. Use it as a floor table for drawing, reading, playing games.
Shop The Christmas Family Gift List
The home decorations were abundant, as was gift shopping. The tradition of spending days with family was warming. I loved fireplaces too. Two things struck me the most.
First, the warm hospitality contrasts the extreme cold outside.
Minneapolis is very cold. Ice and snow everywhere. Coming into a home from the brutal winter gave a real sense of shelter.
Second, the number of presents gifted at Christmas.
Kids would get not one, but three, four, or even five presents from the same person. The gift distribution skews towards the youngest members of the family.
My parents gave me one gift each Christmas. Sometimes they would even bundle it with my birthday in January. You can imagine my surprise. It's a different culture.
So about those gifts. At Tablet2Cases, we only want you to have to gift the best cases.
The three-part guide for buying tech gifts for Christmas completes here. We covered gifting keyboard tablet cases and phone cases with accessories already.
Our final selection of rugged tablet cases for kids and their parents are below.
Let's not forget about grandparents too. As they say in India, old is gold. Our parents need gifts, as well. And they could use a protective case for their iPad.
The Trooper 2K by Cooper Cases is the world's first universal rugged case. No kidding. It launched back in 2016, and there is still nothing like it on the market.
The case is built entirely from silicon that stretches to fit each device. Cooper Cases huffed and puffed until they got the final product ready. It was not simple to get the design right.
The Trooper 2K is perfect for lesser-known devices that need rugged protection. It comes in four sizes to accommodate 7-10" tablets.
The reinforced corners provide robust protection from accidental drops. The case also has a stand for watching movies. It can stand in landscape and portrait formats.
Two extra elements make it unique - a hand strap and a shoulder strap.
The hand strap works like a baseball glove. It becomes an extension of your body, making it easy to grip the device with one hand. Very useful with fragile screens. Just don't try catching balls with it.
The detachable shoulder strap converts your cover into a carrying case. Swing it over the shoulder while holding your coffee and texting on your phone.
The strap has a million uses because any of the corners can attach to the belt. Hang it as you use it - vertically or horizontally.
Super handy during car travel too. Wrap the shoulder strap around the car's headrest to watch movies in the back.
The Box was Bam Bino Cases's first product to market. The company specializes in cases for children, hence the name (bambino is a child in Italian).
The Box has a broader appeal than children. The frame is soft and bouncy to absorb impact. Made from EVA, it's light and durable - an ideal material for rugged cases.
A folio covers the front screen to protect from damage. It also unfolds into a stand for watching movies.
The handle adds a practical touch. It's easy to carry, like a briefcase. Looks very cute on kids. It makes them look important.
Cooper Cases has a few best-sellers. One of them is the Bounce Strap. It's a rugged tablet case from reinforced silicone designed for protection against falls. Intentional falls.
The Bounce Strap uses a thick layer of food-grade silicon. It has a simple single-shell construction that's highly effective. Nothing can break, even with heavy use.
The shell has dedicated cutouts to access all features. Use the volume rockers, hold, and home button with the case on. There is a camera opening on the back, a hole to access the charging port, and cutouts for speakers as well.
It's also one of the first tablet cases to feature a shoulder strap. Want more? Read the whole story.
The Hero was Bam Bino's second product launched shortly after the Box. It built on the idea of using a durable EVA frame for protecting the iPad.
The Hero also added a large handle that's easy to hold with smaller hands. It's also practical for people with limited motor skills and disabilities. Grandparents will love it too.
Two fold-out legs open in the back for a stand. They are very stable. The case is hard to tip over.
The final piece is the shoulder strap. It's easy to carry without your hands. Perfect for kids on road trips and grandparents shuffling around at home.
The Dynamo was one of the first products Cooper Cases launched back in 2012. It remains the company's best seller.
An original Cooper Cases design, it's success lead to many copies sold on Amazon. It's now dubbed as the Official Cooper Dynamo case to avoid any confusion that it was there first.
The Dynamo's popularity is it's super simple construction. It uses EVA foam casing to absorb impact. It works as a barrier between your child’s wild exploration and you having a heart attack.
It’s great for all ages. Your two-year-old can use it as a teething toy thanks to non-toxic, certified safe EVA foam material. Your five-year-old can play daddy, swinging it like a briefcase by the handle.
It even has the power to enchant grandparents. It's a neat tablet cover to pass around at home.
The large handle doubles as a stand. Turn it to stand your tablet in movie mode, or rotate for ideal drawing angle.
Gift the Official Cooper Dynamo
It's Not a Case. It's a Space Suit! That's the new Bam Bino Rhino case.
Bam Bino Cases took all their and bundled it into a super case. The Rhino is the most rugged case we sell in our store. At Tablet2Cases, we call it the Otterbox for kids. It's sturdy, has a shoulder strap, and costs a fraction of an Otterbox case.
Its stand-out feature is the built-in screen guard. Once in the case, your tablet will resemble a spaceman wearing a spacesuit. Ready for anything you can throw at it.
Read the full story on the making of Bam Bino Rhino.
Meet the granddaddy of all kids cases - the Buddy by Pure Sense Cases.
Building on the Cooper Dynamo case design, Pure Sense went further. Buddy protects not only your iPad but also your child.
It's the world's first anti-bacterial tablet case for kids. It's infused with antimicrobial particles provided by UK-based Steritouch. Based on silver ions, they work to repel bacteria.
The soft foamy exterior makes it ultra-protective. Carry it around with a handy shoulder strap. Or use the multi-purpose handle that also turns into a stand at two different angles.
Buddy is completely non-toxic. It passed even the most rigorous toxicity tests. Your child and your tablet will both be safe.
The box set also includes a screen cleaning spray with a microfiber cloth. When the screen gets dirty (and it will), apply the spray to clean it.
In the end, it's not just a tablet case. It's a protective kit. It will be a big hit once placed under a Christmas tree.

This is the second article of a three-part series about buying tech gifts for Christmas. Earlier we covered how to buy keyboard tablet covers. Now we'll cover super practical tech gifts that even your grandma can use.
You and every person on the planet who visits Tablet2Cases have either a phone or a laptop. It's a bold claim.
All your friends and family have one as well. That's a fact too.
Today we'll guide you to gifting phone cases, power banks and touchscreen gloves. These are easy gifts. If that's not enough, we'll top it off with laptop sleeves and a folding table that claims to be the "king of folding tables".
Let's start with gifts on a budget.
Mangata Cases has a phone case with a hidden wallet called Triton. It has a rugged outer shell that will protect your phone from drops.
A "secret wallet" comes out when you pull on a tab. It holds 2-3 cards and has space to store bills.
It's perfect for going to a bar or a coffee shop. No need to bring your purse or manbag. Whichever you prefer.
Everything you need is in your case. This product is on a heavy discount. Available for around $10.
Available for Apple iPhone models including Xs, Xs Max, Xr, 8, 8 Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 6s/6, 6s Plus.
Also available for Samsung Galaxy phones including Galaxy S9, S9+, Note 9, S8, S8+.
You didn't know that Mujjo is special. We don't expect you to. But they are the first company to launch a phone case with a wallet.
If you are looking for premium phone cases, look no further than Mujjo.
Mujjo was there first. Mangata Cases built on their idea. Apple's own phone cases compete with Mujjo.
Mujjo is that good. All their phone cases use premium vegetable-tanned full-grain leather. It's completely natural. When you look at the leather you can see each grain, as well as blemishes from the cowhide.
Accelerated leather aging is what makes Mujjo phone cases different. All their cases develop a unique patina. The cover will wear-in where you use it most. Distinctly yours.
Mujjo carries both plain leather and wallet leather cases. The phone case is fully wrapped in leather, hence the name - Full Leather Cases.
Available for all flagship iPhones and Samsung Galaxy devices.
Prices range from $44.95 to $54.95.
A Gift for Premium Phone Owners
Let's assume that your family or friends don't have iPhones or flagship Samsung phones. They don't need Mujjo or Triton cases.
But they will do with a power bank. And not just any power bank. The Mangata Orbit is a 2-piece 5,000 mAh power bank set with a charging station.
Did you ever have a wireless home phone? It had a built-in battery that would charge when you dock the handset.
The Orbit works the same way. Dock the power bank to charge. No need to connect to a cable. The station is permanently connected to the power to provide the juice.
What's cool about this concept is that we often forget to charge the power bank. Most of the time because we are too lazy to plug it in.
The Orbit not only has a spare power bank in case you forget to charge but also saves the day when you are lazy.
It's also a great gift for a household. Keep it by the door near the exit. It's going to be a hit in the house. We guarantee it.
The Mangata Orbit is available for $39.95.
Can you get any more practical than gloves? How about phone-friendly gloves?
Mujjo has the most sophisticated range of touchscreen gloves. Fused with silver particles, all parts of the glove work with the touchscreen. Not only fingertips.
North Face has similar gloves called Etip. The "power on" icon on the fingertip is tacky. It's not fit for a $50 glove. They cost the same as Mujjo but are worse in design, craftsmanship, and looks.
Mujjo touchscreen gloves are arguably the best gloves on the market. Lined with 3M Thinsulate single or double insulation. Good for extra cold weather as well. Retails for $49.95 and $59.95.
If you are on a budget, then Mujjo also has Knitted gloves with double-layered insulation. Available for $34.95.
Tip: When you gift them, say "no one wants to take their glove off to scroll through Instagram, we’re better than that." Then stay silent for five seconds. It should impress even more.
A self-proclaimed "king of folding" tables, the Cooper Mega Table lives up to its slogan and name.
The Mega Table is large, really large. Like a king-size bed, it's surface area fits a 17" laptop, a mouse pad, a bookstand, and a tablet standing in a dedicated groove. Pull out the side drawer to stand your mobile phone and coffee mug as well.
If you are trying to fit more on the table, you should consider decluttering. Marie Kondo has a good book on that. A bonus gift idea?
It's easy to store as well. You won't need to take it to your garage to store. The large surface comes with a slim profile. Fold the legs to store the table under your couch or behind the closet.
As the table has a fixed height, its very sturdy. It can support 40kg / 88lbs. Definitely heavier than your HP laptop from early 2000.
It's ideal for students living in dorms and people working from small apartments. Use it as a bed desk while you are healing a foot injury, or a couch desk while watching TV.
The Mega Table a premium folding desk. It's the Audi of foldable tables. It comes with all the bells and whistles with raving reviews on Amazon. It's no wonder it's marketed as the King of Folding tables.
As it's a large item, worldwide shipping is not possible. It's only available for customers in the USA, Australia, the EU and the UK for $59.95.

]]>Winter is here. The sun sets earlier each day. A warm jacket, hat, and scarf are hanging by the door. Soon the snow will come. And with it Christmas. Every Christmas comes packed with gifts. Gifts to your parents, siblings, and grandparents. Gifts for your partner and kids. Gifts to your uncles, aunts, cousins and extended family. That's a lot of gifts.
]]>Every Christmas comes packed with gifts. Gifts to your parents, siblings, and grandparents. Gifts for your partner and kids. Gifts to your uncles, aunts, cousins and extended family.
That's a lot of gifts.
Every year we go through this. One thing that always makes sense is to prepare early.
You've come to the right place. This is a series of 3 articles to help you shop for tech Christmas gifts.
Why would you want to gift a keyboard case, you ask?
Because the receiver has a tablet or getting one as a gift.
Because the receiver will use the tablet to type for work or school.
Because you've seen that the receiver always wants to be more productive. They make to-do lists, calendars, plan their day out. They look for every little edge to help them.
Because you want to be helpful, and not just nice. It's different from gifting a pair of socks.
Connecting a keyboard with a tablet (called pairing) is the closest the tablet will get to a laptop. An iPad with a keyboard is like Macbook's brother. They look very similar but different.
Also much cheaper. A keyboard with a tablet comes at a fraction of the cost of a laptop. In fact, it's a brilliant substitute if the laptop is out of your budget.
A tablet makes it easy to browse, read and watch movies. It's not so good at typing. You know it if you've tried writing at least 500 words.
It's a different beast when connected to a keyboard. It will at least double your typing speed. It's a major productivity boost when you are writing an article or typing an essay for school.
The tactile feel of keys on a full-sized keyboard makes it easier to type faster. Or delete. Each stroke leaves a trace of a clicked button.
Another practical feature of a tablet keyboard is shortcut keys. They offer one-button access to the tablet's main functions, such as:
They occupy the top row of the keyboard.
Keyboards for tablets are wireless and connect via Bluetooth. No dangling cables required (only to charge). They come with a built-in, rechargeable lithium battery lasting 60-100 hours. Recharge with any micro USB cable.
Most keyboard cases double as folios - a fancy word for a folder. Remove the keyboard and you have a tablet cover. Double the fun for the same amount of money.
Tablet keyboards are compatible with Android, Windows 10 and iOS. Until recently, touchpads on keyboards did not work with iPad. They now work with iPadOS, but not iOS. Make sure to upgrade to get the touchpad to work on your iPad.
Which keyboard to choose? Here are our recommendations.
A premium faux-leather cover with a full-sized QWERTY keyboard. The back panel comes with a kickstand to support the screen while typing.
Silicon coated claws grip all corners of the tablet. It's a money-saving feature when the case slips out and hits the floor. The corners hold the tablet secure. It won't fall out and break.
The keyboard attaches with magnets, so the cover doubles as a tablet case. It's also possible to remove the keyboard further from the screen for convenience.
The Cooper Infinite Executive comes in two sizes - for tablets with 7-8" and 9-10" screens. Prices are $24.95 and $29.95.
An upgrade on the Infinite Executive, this case has a better quality keyboard. And yes, keys with backlight colors.
Not just one color. It has seven colors with brightness settings. Definitely an upgrade.
The Cooper Backlight Executive comes in two sizes - for tablets with 7-8" and 9-10" screens. Prices are $29.95 and $34.95.
If there was ever one thing that prevented a tablet from turning into a laptop, it was a mouse. Or a trackpad.
Meet Cooper Touchpad Executive. It's a faux-leather keyboard case with a multi-gesture touchpad mouse.
On top of all the functionality of a tablet keyboard, you'll be able to use the mouse. Scroll with two fingers, select, highlight, copy and paste, right-click, left-click. It's a productivity monster.
The Cooper Touchpad Executive comes in three sizes - for tablets with 7-8", 8-8.9" and 9.7-11" screens. Prices are $29.95, $34.95 and $39.95.
Built like a clam, this a hardshell case with a built-in keyboard. The iPad snaps into the top part of the case. Hence a clamshell.
It's pretty close to a laptop. It even has a built-in 2800 mAh power bank that can charge your iPad or your phone.
The Cooper Kai Skel P1 is only available for iPad 4, iPad 3 and iPad 2. It costs $44.95.
Okay, we are cheating a bit. The Cooper Bizmate is not a keyboard, it's a "padfolio". An organizer with pockets, a tablet holder and a removable A5 notepad.
It's for those who are still old-school and like to write with a pen.
The Bizmate belongs in this list because it is a productivity booster. It has everything you need in one case, and a pocket for a power bank.
The Cooper Bizmate Organizer comes in two sizes - for tablets with 7-8" and 9-10" screens. It costs $24.95.
See the full list of keyboard tablet cases. We've got 17 models on sale. Ample choice for Christmas shopping.
