Thanks to Jake for sorting me out with some soft goods for the next couple of years (ahem).
This purchase was influenced by having faith in a retailer after being messed around by the faceless SD behemoth.

Here are some iPad pics, interested to hear what you think. I'll do some close ups in daylight when I can if required.
Cheers for reading.
