UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
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.

I just bought my first iPad, so I havn’t played with it much yet, but I rationalized the purchase by saying it would be really nice to have the camera. Oh, and the kids will play lots of games too!
Rachel says
I have an Ebay store and it’s so much handier to use the iPad than my phone when I’m on the go!
Allison Snoderly says
I love how it keeps my 7 year old busy just like Nora.
Melissa says
We use ours for all kinds of things. My girls and I share it, the husband uses his own HP Touchpad and Galaxy Note. Right now the preschooler is playing My little pony on it, but I use it for quick email checks and keeping up with blogs and twitter and playing Words with Friends with my dad and stepmom. This cover looks really nice.

I love to read books and this would encourage me to go ahead and purchase an iPad ๐
Oh, and I love Martha Stewart too!
Melissa says
Our Ipad has a bazillion uses, but I think what stands out for me is that it has become our alarm clock. I love that use for it since we don’t have to worry about the power going out and not having the alarm wake us on time like with our old alarm clock. I also like that we have stored our favorite recipes in it. No more going to the bookshelf to find the book that has the recipe we’re looking for!
Rachel HW says
