As of today, there are five broad categories of IPAD Cases: shells, play-through cases, sleeves, flip-style cases, and bags—the latter including purses and murses. And there are four different types of film designed to protect the iPad’s screen from scratches, smudges, and other issues. Trust us when we say that we’re literally surrounded by them, as we’ve spent the last month evaluating dozens of different options from developers all over the world, and went through literally all of them in the process of finalizing this article. Our Complete Guide to iPad Cases and Protection is a fast-paced discussion of over 70 different options, quickly providing you with photographs, links to additional information, and the key differentiators that make individual cases and film protectors stand out.
Though we’re not issuing ratings for the time being, what you’ll find in the following six pages are clear opinions on which cases and screen protectors are the best and the worst in the bunch, as we’ve sorted each category individually to spotlight the factors that matter to us and you. Read on for all the details, and check our ever-growing IPad Accessories gallery as we continue to add new releases to the collection. We’re not huge fans of shell-style cases—add-on rear plates for iPads—because they tend to be just as expensive as full play-through cases while offering less protection. But there are some designs that are better than others. Here’s how the current some options rank on Online Marketplace.
1. Switch Easy Nude Arriving later than its rivals, Nude has the advantage of extra development time, which SwitchEasy obviously used to polish its shell to near-perfection. The speaker holes are precisely cut out, as is the microphone hole, and all of the other side controls and ports have U-shaped grooves that are tightly contoured to their exact measurements. If you’re planning to use only Apple headphones and Dock Connector cables, this’ll be no issue, but the accessory holes are going to be tight for larger options—Apple’s Camera Connection Kit just barely connects, without securing entirely. That’s the only major knock on this otherwise side, top, and bottom-protective design, which comes with a ton of pack-ins, including two separate video stands and screen film, and is available in a number of colors. A minor issue: the glossy finish shows scratches.
2. Incipio Feather As the first shell out of the gate, Feather has two advantages over some rivals: included screen protection and a variety of different color options. While the soft touch rubber finish is only so-so—it tends to show finger smudges easily, like the screen protector—and neither the top nor the bottom of the case have the sort of added protection found on SwitchEasy’s Nude, the sides of Feather are very protective by current shell standards, and the case’s wide open ports are more accessory-friendly than Nude. Go with this one if colors matter to you.
3. Macally Metropad, Metrocpad, Metrompad covers. These three Macally shells are almost as simple as can be except for differences in color and texture. They offer less side protection than Feather and Nude, merely gripping the iPad by its corners, and therefore are essentially just anti-scratch guards for the iPad’s back. None includes screen protection, making them a markedly weaker value for the dollar than the others, but the clear and black versions have stabilizing dimples to keep the iPad from rocking on a flat surface, and the chrome version is the only such shell of that color we’ve seen. Though it’s scratchable and quite possibly the most dangerous thing a person could attach to an iPad that’s going to be used in a car, it’s the only shell you’d want to have on a desert island, because the mirrored surface is huge enough to flag down passing planes. The black soft touch version shows fewer marks than Incipio’s same-colored Feather.
From fashionable to functional, with a few hopefully meeting in the middle, we’re sure you’ll find a ipad case that caters to your taste from our hand-picked selection on Online Marketplace. Have a browse Topons.

If you are excitedly preparing for your prom, probably all you are thinking about is what could be the fashion statement for prom dresses for 2010.

Of course everyone wants to shine, to get noticed, and to be competitive for the prom queen award. And knowing what is trendy this year will get you above it.

Maybe you have searched over the web, flipped a lot of magazine pages, gone through window shopping, asked for your best friend’s advice, or even consult a fashion designer on what is totally “in” this year. But now, let me summarize all that you’ve got so far and provide you with a simpler fashion guide for 2010 prom dresses. Here goes:

I.            Style

You can also choose dresses that are colored red, magenta, green, violet, and royal blue. A variety of colors in a dress is also popular such as those accented with floral, waves, checkered or geometric prints.

IV.            Theme

Themes are the overall subject of the fashion trend for the prom. This year, the well accepted theme is futuristic. This makes prom dresses for 2010 capture the shine and sparkle idea. Go also with silver tones, gold embellishments, blings, and other sleek accessories.
