Get the apple case. It's very well made and thought out. For one thing, it increases friction, so typing on your lap is a whole lot more comfortable. I can type full speed this way. Doing it now.
Not the cradle, the case. Combined with the Bluetooth keyboard, it's great for typing-intensive stuff.
Speaking of typing, has anyone here tried out the new Dragon Dictation app? Sounds like a natural for the iPad (I'm waiting for mine - got a preorder of the 3G).
Wow. I didn't realize an innocent question would get hated on.
I wish the case worked with the cradle :\
Case > cradle. Just configure the case as a landscape vertical stand and attach the cable.
