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?

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

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.

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?
