I'm getting 3G in case of travel. Because if they are unlocked like they say, then I can just pop in a sim card from a country I'm visiting and not deal with expensive international rates.

The only reason why I chose to do this instead of use my Droid X as a hotspot (which is 20 bucks a month) is that I didn't want to wear down the battery on my phone, especially when I'm traveling and may not have access to my charger and/or an outlet.

The most evil place in the world...just walking in one literally makes me want to vomit. When I was in Detroit last weekend I needed to get some more rubbermaid action packers...they were the only place in town that had them, so I went.

Can anyone recommend a case for an iPad that will be handled by kids under age 10? I'm not really concerned with scratches. I would just like something that may help save it if it gets dropped. Has anyone dropped one? How did it make out?

I keep mine in one of these.
http://www.amazon.com/Targus-Z-Case-...4084008&sr=8-8
I haven't dropped it, but this keep it well-protected in my daily backpack. Only thing I don't like is it has to be out of the case to charge.

I dropped it when it was "closed" and got a tiny ding on one of the corners. But no other damage. Now my girlfriend and I both have this one:

She dropped hers (also closed) and got a slightly worse ding in pretty much the same spot. Unfortunately both cases leave some of the corners exposed even when they are closed. But they both did a good job of protecting from any major damage.
