Congrats to Lisa (lisarandy5@….)
We love our iPad… especially Nora!
We take it almost everywhere we go as it easily fits in the diaper bag or any other bag we take with us. Plus, it’s perfect clutter-free “toy” to occupy Nora if we end up waiting longer than we thought at the doctor, if she gets antsy at one of Dave’s basketball games, or if we have a longer than normal road trip.
There are enough games, coloring books, photos, videos, and TV programs to keep her entertained for a week if need be!
Recently, I was given one of the brand new Martha Stewart iPad cases to try… and I was immediately excited as I noticed how user-friendly it was AND that it easily attached to the back of a car headrest (why didn’t someone think of that sooner!)
Out of the three of us, I use the iPad the least (if you’re wondering, Dave uses it the most) and even I was impressed with this case. It’s quite thin, but still very durable and sturdy. It’s also extremely easy to operate and adjust for increased functionality and usability.
A few more reasons we love this case:
- It’s a smart case, so it automatically turns the iPad on and off
- It quickly and easily rotates vertically and horizontally without removing the case
- It easily attaches to a car headrest
- The outside is nice soft leather but the part that actually surronds the iPad is hard — so I feel like it’s really protected
- We can easily access the camera, the volume buttons and the charging port without taking the case off (you would think this should be obvious, but this is not always the case)
- It’s very sturdy, but light weight — and balances perfectly on a toddler’s lap 🙂
Spring break is just around the corner (it starts Friday for Dave’s school) and summer travels will be here before you know it. If you’d like a nice, new, protective case for your iPad (and an entertainment option for long road trips), you’ll definitely want to enter today’s giveaway!
Oh, and make sure you check out the other lovely Martha Stewart Home Office products, available exclusively at Staples.

Christy W. says
My favorite way to use my iPad is for recipes! We have a tiny apartment kitchen, so I typically need all the counter space I can get; therefore, I don’t prefer to have a chunky cookbook in the middle of the counter. I usually place my iPad on the window sill. It’s convenient and saves me space to cook!
Dorinda says
I love reading books on my ipad.
