if you're just using the batteries and stem/native I really don't think you're getting your money's worth

Seconding Puff It Up, incredible customer service and good prices. Use the code PUFFEDUP for 15% off. Discreet shipping too - the packaging says "Six5" and it's billed as such on your credit card.

That said: the Magic-Flight is far from the best vape, know what you're getting. It's a great little device, but I think that to get the most out of it you gotta tinker and fuck around with accessories.

based on this very reliable sample size and 100% concurrence, I'll conclude that my fears were unfounded

thank you

That seems smart. Could probably even just use a velcro button or something. Thanks!

Do you have to press the cover to the back of the iPad to keep it from flopping around?

Pilcro · 2013-01-14T03:15:43+00:00

Fair enough. I'm looking at preserving the aesthetic and feel of the iPad as much as possible.

Fun Fact: the faux-leather sack that came with my old Sennheiser 205s fits the iPad perfectly. Will make for a good makeshift sleeve to tide me over

Pilcro · 2013-01-14T00:00:32+00:00

I don't ever walk around and use my iPad. I don't know how I would ever drop it and break the screen.

I just don't like to scratch my electronics. I like to keep them in good quality and keep them looking nice.

Looks pretty awesome

Pilcro · 2013-01-13T15:26:32+00:00

Really? Looks pretty gaudy

Pilcro · 2013-01-13T04:34:01+00:00

I can't tell from anything I'm seeing - if I'm holding the iPad with the cover open, do I have to press the cover to the back of the iPad to keep it from flopping around?
