Oregon City, OR (PRWEB) – Two Portland based photographers have created the first truly universal iPad mounting case, making all other mounting cases obsolete. The X Grip is an Apple iPad case designed around a standard ¼” threaded mount which can be used in combination with hundreds of inexpensive and readily available attachments. It functions as the application of every other grip case made for the iPad, in one sleek, minimal design.

The fundamental design feature of this Apple iPad case is a 1/4″ threaded brass insert, which is found in literally hundreds of inexpensive third party attachments. Like the Apple iPod and iPhone, the iPad is suited for unlimited everyday tasks with specially designed Apps. The iPad Clamp can be used with tripods, microphone stands, video grip equipment, wall mounts or anything else with the standard ¼” thread. This makes the functions of the case endless: from solo artists to major rock concerts, home use to a doctor’s office, studio photography to Hollywood movie sets, airline pilots to uses in the International Space Station, there is literally nothing the X Grip cannot do.

The idea came from the disappointment we’ve all experienced, by purchasing a certain case or stand for a single application, and then having to go out and purchase more units for other functions and applications. With our case, one product does the trick. It’s sleek and simple, and costs a fraction of most iPad mounts currently on the market.

Nick Curteman and Tom Baker are two Portland Oregon-based photographers, who teamed up to design the X Grip. Their product website can be found at http://www.xgripcase.com/.

If you’d like more information about the X Grip, or to schedule an interview with Nick Curteman, please call 503/781-3320 or email nick(at)xgripcase(dot)com.

The iPad’s dominance in the industry has made it more than just a simple tablet PC but rather a companion in our daily lives. With the increasing number of apps there is always be an app just for everything. Among these apps is dedicated to the culinary arts. The latest app known as the RecipePad is suitable for creating and saving recipes.

For those of you who got a Mac and use an app called as the MacGourment or Yummy Soup, you can get the best from both worlds. These files can easily be moved from your desktop to the iPad through the use of iTunes.  In many ways it is a pain to have physically connected the device to a computer just to get the files transferred.

The interface of the RecipePad is easy to use. You can easily follow the instructions and viewing the ingredients of a recipe is a breeze. If you want to create new simple recipes then the app is handy in storing a well laid out section for the ingredients, cook time and procedures. You can also tag a photo in the cook time and rate how difficult the meal is to prepare. The recipes pull up two number pads that includes a traditional 10-digit keypad as well as another nine digits all devoted to fractions. There’s also another interface for documenting the cooking procedure couple with a timer.

The RecipePad in some ways is a great app for creating recipes from scratch. The only downside is that it feels constrained since you must type every ingredient rather than a drag down list from the web.

There are plenty of board games have made it through the iPad. Some few classics like Scrabble and Monopoly have converted their popular game play through iPad’s wide screen. Here comes Knowsy, a guessing game for the competitor’s preferences. The game starts out as the VIP in which he chooses a topic among the options such as movie genres, elementary subjects, drama, music, toys and many other topics to choose from. Within those categories more specific subjects are unlock, the job of the VIP must rank them according to preference from one through five. The choices are written in playful font in a series of tiles which are slid around the screen until the choice is complete.

The other player’s job is presented on those five choices instead of ranking them they scatter them around the screen. Their objective is simple, to guess the order the VIP ranked them.  The more correct answers they give the higher the scores will be. The process repeats itself until all six players are able to compete at once.

You may not be familiar with the game but thanks to the tutorial it provides it really gives new gamers new insights on how to play the game without them being left alone with the games mechanics.

Knowsy is a solid game that is fun for the whole family and just as better when played in a group. It can be enjoyed just about everyone as long as they have the passion and interest when it comes to team based fun.

The iPad is considered to have a huge screen which gives us a lot of room for scratches and bumps on the precious screen, not to mention when you take it outside it looks like a huge mirror that reflects sunlight.

Apple designed the iPad with a glossy screen so it picks up fingerprints and reflects sunlight so easily that it becomes a habit of clearing the iPad every now and then. Luckily for us Power Support has made an anti-glare screen protector for the iPad that looks to remedy in these problematic areas.

One of the most important factor is that it comes with a matte screen protector that reduce the glare from the sun and a mirror effect on the glossy screen. The package itself sells at $24.99 and comes with one screen protector.

The Power Support screen protector can easily live up to its name. The first thing to observe was it can run as smooth as it is with a static cling of the screen protector. You can easily line it up with the home button and start laying down the screen as it sticks automatically.

Air bubbles are easily taken care with as they can easily be work out with a simple reapply technique. The Power Support Anti-Glare film easily reduces the glare. The screen protector is simple the best in offering basic prevention from scratches whilst reducing the glare reflection, and fingerprints. You can surely take your iPad in direct sunlight without being afraid of the bright light thinking you have Power Support Film taking care of the job.
