Okay, I need to know this BEFORE I give my husband his tablet for...all the gifts for the next year. Purchased a tablet for him because he will be spending time with his dad who is in a care center/home bound about an hour from our house. Only internet access for him will be at the care center and husband needs something to bide his time.

How does a guy transport a tablet from place to place? I have a purse, obviously transport is NOT an issue. What sort of bag, luggage, case, does a guy use and not look like sissified? I KNOW the issue will come up as he's all about not looking like a metrosexual. LOL

Help...

i’m a white male and usually have a tote bag slung over my shoulder like a rifle on a sling. carry all sorts of stuff. no different than a military map case. usually it’s from some museum. when i carry just my NOOK i usually stick it in the small of my back and under my coat.

I have my iPad in one of these:

Saddleback is simply the best. Period.

I suggest giving the guy a Hello Kitty tablet.
It will toughen him up.

Pricey, but have a look:

I have one of their camera holsters, very sturdy.

Do you know what is with the ads in the threads? I’m seeing a Domino’s Pizza ad in your post. Is it a new FR policy, or is there something wrong with my computer?

Thanks

No ads on my system.

The cool, hip, with it, happening thing these days is a tiny backpack

I found that a WWII canvas map case is exactly the right size for an iPad. (You _did_ get him an iPad, right?)

PM me and I'll mail you mine.

Also recommended (because I use it all the time) is the iPad sleeve from Saddleback Leather.

Comes with a 100 year warranty promising "they'll fight over it when you're dead", and is guaranteed premium leather that looks better the more it's used/abused.

I’m sorry. I don’t see it. I wish I knew why you do.

Just had to be a dick. Nice.

BTW: while I keep the iPad in a leather sleeve, I usually carry it and the rest of my stuff in a canvas messenger bag from DPXGear.com, the product line from Robert Young Pelton, author of The World's Most Dangerous Places, a tourist guide to everywhere in the world you absolutely shouldn't go.

For more formal occasions, I use a pseudo-leather messenger bag imprinted with the Jack Daniels logo.

Thanks for letting me know. Now I know that it’s something that has infected my machine. I did delete all my cookies. Now I’ll have to try something else. :-(

Well, instead of dicking around on facebook he could actually pay attention to his father. Honor him, you know?

That's one of the dumbest and most obnoxious statements I've ever read here.

Uh-huh. Right. I would really LIKE to stay married.

Please accept my apologies.

Apology accepted. :)

If he is a reader and listens to music, hands down kindle wins.

And the reason is not only price reliability etc. BUT they have added the same system they use for physical music sales to physical book sales.

Buy a CD from amazon you get a digital copy uploaded for free to your amazon cloud which is hooked directly into your Kindle.

And now they are starting to add the same for books though it seems most digital copies of books will cost you 99 cents after you have paid for the physical copy.

Also kindle will work with several different book formats without adding any apps.

Also you can have multiple kindles on one account and they all share the media bought for that account. So you don't have to buy multiple copies of books etc. Our family has 3 of them and we never have problems they work well and I would be lost without mine.

I have a leather case for my iPad Mini and that's how I carry it. No need for anything else.

I take mine with me everywhere.
