    Buying the iPad Pro 12.9 now?

    I'm fortunate enough to have both, and as of today (4/23/16), I'd buy the 12.9 because it's more versatile...and a bit faster. They are both fantastic machines, however. My only complaint is the cost and quality (and sometimes weight) of the keyboards that are available. If you want a keyboard...

    Which iPad pro do u think is the best choice mainly for reading?

    I have both and have read on both, but I'd say the 9.7 is more for reading, and the 12.9 for viewing/drawing/work. Both are great (as far as a tablet goes) for listening.

    Too soon to find a good third party keyboard case?

    So far it is too early (4.18.16), but I'm hoping one comes out from Zagg, Logitech, Brydge, etc, who are all premium manufacturers. The Apple Smart Keyboard has two huge advantages: thin/light and smart connector. Price seems high, but I'm betting it will turn out to be competitive. HOWEVER, I...

    Best Cases for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro!

    I have the Smart Keyboard for the 12.9, but don't like it well enough to get one for the 9.7. Too floppy. Too origami. Anyone know of a great keyboard case WITH BACKLIT KEYS that's come out? Don't want cheap. Want rigid, well-balanced, function keys, and backlighting.

    Best Cases for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro!

    I have the 12.9 and 9.7 Pro iPads. I bought Apple's Smart Keyboard Case for the 12.9. Don't like it at all. Terrible on your lap, no backlighting, no function keys, and a flip-floppy mess that you have to origami every time you do something with it...and for the privilege of getting that, we pay...

    Would You purchase a 4-inch iPhone SE?

    I wouldn't buy one, but it's easy to see why many people would. I'm phablets all the way. (iPhone 6S Plus and Nexus 6P).

    Have you switched from a Note 5? Hindsight Appreciated!

    RE: Question about other top end Android phones. I have the iPhone 6s Plus and the Google Nexus 6P. Both are excellent phones, and I would have a very difficult time choosing between them. Aesthetically, and despite the so-called "bump" at the top of the Nexus back (which is really a visual...

    My overall thoughts on my iPad Air 2 after a year owning it

    I have the Air 2 also and think it's a terrific tablet. iOS 9 has brought some bluetooth problems, however. I also got the iPad Mini 4 and have found it to be just a terrific tablet. Apple barely mentioned it at the big reveal conference, but the Mini 4 is easily one of the best tablets I've...
