Impact Protective Back Shell for iPad Review

The Impact Protective Back Shell from Proporta is made from polycarbonate, and slips over the back plate of your iPad 2, protecting it from scratches and bumps. There’s even a small hole in it for the camera aperture, thus allowing you to take pictures with it in place. It’s extremely lightweight, works with the iPad Smart Cover, and takes bumps and scratches like a pro.

This notebook should be good for those wanting better performance outside of gaming.

Proporta Neoprene Sleeve Echo Beach Case Review

The exterior of the case is made out of neoprene, which makes the case almost perfectly waterproof–more about that in a minute–but you’ll also get an interior lining (that at least feels a lot like fleece) which should prove sufficient to keep the item inside protected against scratches and without too much concern about static buildup. You’ll get the standard Quiksilver closure system as well, complete with two zippers to make sure things close as tight as they can.
