The beanpad is cute though.

OK. Confession time for me. I have two iPads, an original & The New iPad. I also have a welt on my forehead as a result of falling asleep while reading on the newbie. The thing bonked me good.

It is possible to raise enough money to buy an iPad & not be bright enough to avoid it when it assaults you.

So I think I may get one of these thing. But not pink. Because you hafta draw a line somewhere.

But then I watched the video and.....

2 thoughts come to mind...

I have a lousy 1st gen Ipad that I don't even get to use, My daughter won't allow it, so guess this sale isn't compatable, no pink beanpad for her.

Second, most of the sales of this are out west... fruity yuppies. :P

Now if I only had an iblanket.....

It's not a toomah! It's not a toomah, at all!

Your post ?

I am in for one. Heck... at $60 bucks on Amazon I am better off getting one for $20(s&h) here and being mad at myself then $65 bucks there and having similar feelings? Now that's logic right?

Seriously though... The wife and I watch a lot of TV on my iPad. This looks like it will hold it up in bed much better than my current "fold up style" case.

I would like to own one of these but the iPad 2 and new iPad have a thickness difference. Just enough diference that a lot of the iPad 2 cases will not fit the new iPad. I have personally experienced this. Does this mean the snap on case is a tad loose for the iPad 2 and perfect got for new iPad? Or is it so snug you can't get the new iPad in the case with out almost using all you muscle strength and it still doesn't go in.

Sounds like woot got a bunch of a failed product.it this was $5 I would have bought them as a gag gift

Woot should've had matching bean bags on home.woot.com!



Not to mention plenty room for the woot logo!!!

So this does the same thing as my ASUS Transformer keyboard-


except not as well, it's bulkier, doesn't have a keyboard, nor does it charge the tablet nor have USB ports...

This is not an accident. Marketing is evil. Apple marketing is the devil himself.

Seriously, my cats would just takes this as a $20 cat toy and wreck it, slobber on it and possibly pee on it. Sorry, no sale.

And why do we never see thunder thighs in these field tests????

Ummmm....no thanks. I can just get a tab of velcro and slap one of my kids stuffed animals on the back and not look nearly as stupid. Besides, I have a case that works perfectly well in standing up my ipad while I lay in bed and watch movies.

I thought it was a graduation cap when I first saw it.

This woot just makes me want to cry.....

....or spend that money on a good cheesecake and make your own Beanpad that goes with you everywhere.

I don't understand the complete hatred. No, it's not a case you keep your iPad in constantly, this is an around the house kinda thing.

I'm constantly laying on my side, or reclined back in the recliner, having my iPad orientation locked and lying sideways, etc. This is definitely a niche product, but for that purpose, I think it will do well.

Sandwich the beanbag above the dashboard and watch a video from the front seat!

Except for the part where you have a stuffed animal velcro'ed to an iPad. Kinda has a way of making you looks stupid.

Watch the video in the write up! You won't be sorry!

Thanks CD! Very True!

Wish they made these for other devices so that other folks could use them besides the Lemming Based (cr)Apple population.

I expect to see pink sell out first. Let's make it happen!

I think the Lap Pro from Renegade Concepts for $30 would be a better buy since it supports multiple devices.

You *could* buy a real bean bag chair from walmart for the same price..

Note: just because it was $60 somewhere else the day before doesn't mean it's suddenly a good deal at $20 with shipping.

You're right. You're so individual and unique with your android or kindle based tablet. Buying something from a different company and declaring as much surely ensures your place amongst the greatest people to ever walk the planet even though you would have never considered a tablet computer until they were popularized by Apple. Let's break out the applause for your individualism.

Looks perfect! Solves my one-handed woot problem while feeding the baby or chasing the toddler!

-impatiently waiting for a real iPad dock-

Looks like it can't go wrong with drop protection though.

If my imaginary physics calculations are correct, the bean-bag portion of the case should hit the ground first and surpress the high pressure damage to the screen that is the leading cause of screen cracks.

I plan to deploy parachutes on my IPAD.

You probably hear this all the time but, man you have an excellent bench !I've always been a bench man so I know what I'm talking about.

Am I the only one wondering why this thing wasn't branded as a beanPad? I mean, does Apple own the rights to capital P's or something?

Not that it would help move any inventory, but at least we could give them clever points...

can u use the apple magnetic cover with it?

I am shocked that one would even consider buying this for $60 over on Amazon. I'm not going to get one for $15, but $60 is asinine.

If for some crazy reason, you're compelled to get a tumor for your iPad, then today is your day.

Ashamed to admit it, but I'm getting one for the road trips planned this summer. I can toss it on the dash and zone out without having to hold it for a few hours. Plus the $5 off code I had, and $7 credit at Paypal helps too.

I guess there can be some use for it.
