iFrogz hops on iPad 2 cases

By Geoff Duncan June 7, 2011

Peripheral and accessory maker iFrogz has announced three new cases designed with Apple’s iPad 2 in mind. iFrogz might be a little late to the game for issuing iPad 2 peripherals, but that company’s style and design won it fans with first-generation iPad owners—and since the iPad 2 can still be hard to get, they may not have missed the window of opportunity by very much.

“Our new line of protective iPad 2 cases continues our tradition of innovation and puts us at the forefront of providing protection and style for Apple products,” said iFrogz owner and CEO Scott Huskinson, in a statement. “The styles, designs and price-points are all driven by user feedback.”

The second generation of the iPhone SE was initially launched in 2020, but it still manages to keep up with the needs of many phone users today. It utilizes the body of the Apple iPhone 8, which means it will have a home button and fingerprint ID instead of the Face ID technology in current iPhone models. That’s not much to give up, however, as the second generation iPhone SE still has a great display, a 12-megapixel camera with the ability to shoot 4K video, and wireless charging capability.

Apple is about to do the unthinkable to its iPads

A person holding the iPad Air 4.

Earlier today, Apple announced that new iPads are coming this May. In my eyes, this seems to be “The Chosen One” generation. We’re likely getting an OLED display, a better keyboard (hopefully), and a chip ready to chomp the AI dinner. This gadget shall finally fill the techno-digital void in my life. At last.

Or maybe I am just trying to blindly convince myself to splurge over a thousand dollars for a machine that is “still not a Mac” and “can never be a fully fleshed out workstation.” But hey, people are spending $3,500 on a headset that gives them a headache and $700 for an AI thingamajig that can’t quite figure out what it really wants to do.
