Fave + Giveaway: ZAGGfolio Case turns your iPad into a laptop - Evolved Mommy

UPDATE: CONGRATS to Stefanie Gladden for winning the ZAGGfolio iPad case!

One question I seem to get asked all of the time is whether you can use an iPad as a laptop.

Pros

The answer is… sort of. I find making good looking documents is easier on the iPad using Pages than on a computer. Editing photos is super simple in Photoshop Touch. It’s also easier to get things done in general because there are fewer distractions when you are inside an app. Of course iPads are lighter and more portable than a laptop. I rarely go anywhere without my iPad.

Cons

The biggest pet peeve of mine is that most websites default to their mobile version when viewed on an iPad. For instance, when I’m trying to manage a Facebook page for work I can’t easily do that from an iPad because Facebook defaults to mobile Facebook. So annoying. Also, you won’t have as much storage on an iPad as you do on a laptop or desktop computer (do they still make those).

Solution

Typing is slower on an iPad screen than on a keyboard, but wait… there’s a solution for that!

This week AT&T sent me a ZAGGfolio iPad keyboard case to try out. This case + keyboard makes pumping out blog posts and responding to email via iPad so easy. It boggles my mind that I haven’t used one of these before.

ZAGGfolio in Carbon Fiber

This iPad accessory is now an Evolved Mommy fave. I can’t live without it.

With a keyboard case the iPad works like a laptop.
