For those of you who picked up a brand new iPad mini with Retina display, I am quite sure that you would have also mulled over whether you ought to pick up a protective case for the device itself. After all, who knows? You might even opt to sell the tablet in a couple of years’ time, and obviously the resale value would be a whole lot higher if it were to still be in pristine condition compared to having received knocks, scratches and dents here and there. What about those moments in life when you bring your iPad mini with Retina display to places where there is water – and lots of it? This is where LifeProof comes in with the announcement of the availability of nuud and fre, where these are the two very first waterproof cases for the iPad mini with Retina display.

LifeProof intends to offer the utmost security from daily hazards for the iPad mini with Retina display, where its renowned design would feature quad-levels of protection – waterproof, drop proof, dirt proof and snow proof. Dropped your iPad mini into the swimming pool? Not a problem, as it is capable of withstandinng submersion in up to 6.6 feet of water for up to an hour, and will also be able to brush off drops from as high as four feet.

LifeProof CEO Brian Thomas shared, “With both the LifeProof nuud and fre for the iPad mini with Retina display, our customers have the freedom to choose a style that best suits their lifestyle. Some customers prefer fre, with its built-in screen protector, while others opt for the nuud design that allows direct access to the Retina display. It’s a win either way because our cases are among the most highly engineered and versatile waterproof cases available.”

The LifeProof fre and nuud for iPad mini with Retina display will arrive in either black or white colors, where the LifeProof fre costs $99.99 while the nuud would retail for $119.99 a pop.

The world did more or less stop in its tracks earlier this week, as Apple made an announcement which touched on not one, but two iPads – the iPad Air that is thinner and lighter than ever before despite being more powerful, alongside the iPad mini with Retina display, a feature that iPad mini users have been hoping for to arrive for quite some time already. Well, this can only mean one thing – the potentially huge number of people who will be upgrading to the iPad Air would also need a slew of new accessories to go along with their device, and this is where the Trent Airbender 2.0 would be able to step up to the challenge.

The Trent Airbender 2.0 would come in the form of a durable, hard clam shell case where it will be accompanied by a detachable Bluetooth keyboard that makes it ideal for home or office use. Not only that, the Trent Airbender 2.0 will also be able to deliver the necessary protection against minor scratches and knocks, not to mention the added functionality to the iPad Air thanks to its 360 degree rotating case for landscape or portrait viewing angles. Oh yeah, as we also mentioned earlier, there is also the user friendly Bluetooth keyboard that should make your typing on the go a whole lot easier compared to relying on a touchscreen display.

The Trent Airbender 2.0’s ultra low-profile, built-in keyboard will be able to hook up to the iPad Air seamlessly thanks to Bluetooth connectivity. This particular keyboard would feature tactile, chiclet keys that ought to deliver a comfortable, all-round typing experience. Apart from that, this keyboard will aso be accompanied by a row of convenient shortcut keys that would hopefully be able to enhance productivity and efficiency whenever you are taking down notes or drafting documents on the iPad Air. It can be folded up easily for convenient transport, where its compact design should make it fit into any carry-on, backpack, purse or briefcase. Those who are interested in picking up the new Trent Airbender 2.0 will be able to do so on the same day that the iPad Air is available – this coming November 1st for $54.95 a pop.

Now Back To The Future fans can turn their iPad into the Grays Sports Almanac that Old Biff gave to Young Biff in Back to the Future II. It’s just too bad that it didn’t arrive in time to get some future scores.

Oh well. So you won’t get rich with this thing, but at least your iPad will be protected and look awesome. And who knows, maybe some dude from the past will steal it from you. Then he’ll be upset that it has no sports results and all he got was a lousy flat TV. Which will then lead to an iPad being manufactured in 1984. Great Scott!

So what are you waiting for? Make like a tree and pre-order one now for $30.79(USD) over at Firebox.
