14 DAY TRIAL // Without a doubt, Apple's iPad is one of the hottest pieces of gear to have found their way onto the market in 2010, and for this reason, it could also easily become the target of thieves and robbers, one of the few ways to ensure that the tablet is safe at all times being the iPad Lock. Developed by the people over at Mac Locks, the iPad Lock is touted as being the the first and only iPad cable lock released on the market to date, and targets mostly those people who plant to use in the tablet from Apple in certain public venues, such as schools, offices, libraries, hospitals and coffee shops.
As the manufacturer informs us, the first component of the patent-pending iPad Lock is a hard, clear plastic case you can leave on for everyday protection.
And since the iPad has no security slot, the case has one built in, that way, users being able to lock the security cable to the case, and loop the cable's other end around a fixed object (like a table).
Once the case and cable are locked together, thieves can't detach the case without damaging the iPad.
Likewise, the strong steel cable will discourage any thief.
Weighing less than one pound, the cable is extremely sleek and its lock-head has the smallest diameter of any computer lock in the world (at least Mac Locks seems to think this way), which makes the iPad Lock flexible and light, not to mention stylish, so you can easily pack it in your bag and take it with you wherever you go.
According to Mac Locks, the iPad lock has a suggested retail price ranging from $39.95 to $79.95 and comes in three variations, namely either a stand-alone case (custom security case for iPad), a security bundle (custom security case for iPad + universal security cable lock) or a resale pack - 25 or 100 units of the stand-alone case or security bundle.
