#meanwhile: the mini is doing great in a zugu case

[sarasa-cat]

Deeply unsatisfied nearly every 3rd party ipad case I have tried. Last night I nearly broke my ipad pro trying to get it out of a case. Instead, ripped multiple finger nails.

All I want is to do the following:

Easily pop my ipad in and out of a case that that I can use when DRAWING on the ipad so I can then magnetically snap the ipad back into its magic keyboard Smart Keyboard Folio that is worth every (overpriced) penny I paid for it (long long ago), which makes my iPad act more or less just like a laptop, including the ability to balance the whole thing on my lap without a lapdesk.

I do need to clean this keyboard. It looks 3+ years old. But it is lovely and does everything that it was advertised to do.

...

(I almost feel like I need to go into hardware/devices design, which is not a huge leap from my prior training/resume, but ffs, I really don't want to spend my life doing that. I want other people to be clueful and awesome and create excellent things that are sturdy, multi-functional, and affordable.)

(See also: me nearly crying when I realized yesterday while getting dressed for a Corpo Event that all of the knit sweaters and knit sweater dresses I bought last year look pilled and ugly and why.... why can't clothing last more than a few wears? I hate this.)
