Zagg is awful so how does it stack up against other quality items like the SGP store stuff?

The sgp stuff is nice if you can install it properly. I've had a hell of a time installing them on iPhones. Put a couple on droid xs and they worked great. So I would say ghost armor is easier to install. It also stays on a lot better.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
I wanted to get one of these for my wife for her birthday but here in Atlanta it's damn near impossible without waiting 3-5 weeks. I had a buddy of mine in the IT field call some of his business contacts and a supplier of his out west is getting 100 of them in this week and only 63 were spoken for so I was able to land one. So if anyone is looking for some think outside the box and contact business suppliers. If anyone wants the contact info of the guy I used shoot me a pm.
I also ordered a case from Makr, and I just wanted to plug them real quick. It's where I get my wallets and I can't recommend their quality enough. They are expensive but they are one of the few small tannery's left in the country and I'm a big believer in supporting small business so check them out if you're interested in some rustic leather goods.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Badmoon, do you mind commenting on the installation of the Ghost Armor? I know you said it was simple, but I was just reading the instructions because I was thinking about trying it out and it seems much more complicated than something like the SGP where you just peel and lay it down.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Basically you clean the device. You then make a solution of about 12 ounces of luke warm water and dishwasher soap. You put the water in a bowl first and then about 6 drops of the soap. Stir it around with your finger. Then you dip the protector in the bowl. SOAK IT really well. Make sure you turn your device off when you are ready to apply. Then position it on the ipad until you have it straight. Next take the cloth they give you and put a credit card in it. Smooth out the air bubbles. Once it's on there pretty good let it sit for an hour. The sides and corners won't be completely on. When you come back to it press them firmly into place.
Thats about it.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Yes they come in black. They are a Korean made company and you can only buy them off of Ebay. Which sucks! Because I'm not sure I bought from a legit person. Although their feedback looks good. Here is who I bought from. I won't recommend them though until I have it in hand for sure.

Cheesus crust! Whatever happened to a peel and stick! Oh well, I already bought it so I'll have to make it work.

It will work. One more thing since you bought it and I forgot. You may have blotches show up after the install. Its the soap evaporating. It will go away in about 24 hours.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
I'll let you know how it works in a few weeks when I give all this to my wife. You got any list or a good site that lists the best apps for apple stuff?

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Also, be honest with me. Does your iPad2 suffer from backlight bleeding, and does it bother you at all?
You're welcome!

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Sure does. However, it is no more than the iPad 1 that I had bought and returned. It's just a little bit. But no it doesn't bother me. I have seen some online that would. Mine is good though. Mine looks no different then an LCD TV would in total darkness with brightness turned all the way up. If I think about it, I will try to post a pic tonight of it.
To be honest what bothers me more is the actual quality of the screen. After going from the iPhone 4 and iMac the screen sucks to be honest. But it gets the job done. I would like to see them upgrade that for the 3.

I know this is a longshot, but I'm posting anyway. If any of you Freaks stumble across somebody willing to sell a WWDC ticket or two, send him/her my way. I'm watching eBay, but I'm also trying to not spend 4X the cost of the ticket.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Just installed the ghost armor. What a ____ing process. While the back is alright I've got an email out to see if I can return the screen protector for the front. Pretty retarded the steps you have to go through to apply it and it had a little white speck or scratch right dead in the center on the inside of it. I was hoping I could apply it and not be bothered by it but it's bugging the ____ out of me. I think I'll be sticking with the SGP. At least for the front.

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
believe it or not but I'm still waiting on one I have reserved from my local Best Buy. I reserved one the day after launch and I'm still 4th on the list when I checked the other day. Is is worth the wait guys???

Re: The Apple Tablet "The iPad"
Uhhhhhhhh. Why are you still waiting?! That's ridiculous. Apple is quoting 1-2 weeks to arrive at your door. Cancel the best buy reservation and just get one from Apple.
