Your iPad Should Be in An Incase Magazine Jacket [GIVEAWAY ]

We've seen some interesting cases in our ongoing pursuit for perfect iPad protection, but the Incase Convertible Magazine Jacket could be a definite frontrunner. It builds on the Incase Book Jacket by trimming it substantially and adding some crucial features.

The Magazine Jacket is aesthetically similar to Apple's own iPad case, adding to the design with an elastic binding strap and three folding stand options. The problem with the original Book Jacket is that it doesn't adequately secure the iPad, leaving it free to slide around in the case.

Incase has resolved this issue with the Magazine Jacket, as the case now locks the iPad in place to prevent slippage. By comparison, the Apple case uses a small flap to keep the iPad in one spot. It seems minor, but it becomes particularly irritating to push the iPad back into place whenever you need to plug headphones in.

Its three standing options include two viewing angles and one working angle (for typing and such). Additionally, the case doesn't cover any of the the iPad ports or side buttons, so its controllable at all times. The Incase Convertible Magazine Jacket is available now for $50.

CrunchGear Weekend Giveaway: An iPad From Fuze Deals

Bob Compton and I finally have something to agree about.

The Washington, D.C.–based venture capitalist produced a provocative documentary, 2 Million Minutes, which tracked six students—two each in the U.S., India, and China—during their senior year of high school. It showed the Indian and Chinese students slogging to learn mathematics and science, and the Americans partying and playing video games. Bob concluded that the Indians and Chinese will eat our children’s lunch since they are better educated. I was featured in the documentary and agreed that Indian and Chinese children do indeed work much harder than American children; that they are brought up to believe that education is everything and will make the difference between success and starvation; and that most of their childhood is spent memorizing books on advanced subjects. I argued, however, that things aren’t nearly as dire for U.S. competitiveness as they might appear to be in the documentary. My team’s research into global engineering education showed that more than 95% of Indians and Chinese do not receive a good education, and even those that do receive one take much longer to develop crucial real-world skills than do Americans. Yes, U.S. teens work part-time, socialize, and party. But the independence and social skills they develop give them a big advantage when they join the workforce. They learn to experiment, challenge norms, and take risks. They innovate from the get-go.
