LEEF iBRIDGE 3

I actually went to Best Buy for the iBridge 3 to have a good external storage option which was portable and compatible easily with iphone 7 plus, ipad pro, my MBP and other computers. The Leef iBridge 3 is awesome. I got the 128 Gb on sale for 139 CDN (Regular 249 CDN) so that was awesome :)

- It connects easily via lightning port, and interacts via it's own app (which pops up automatically if it senses the stick is plugged in)
- I have tested file transfer BOTH ways... meaning to and from the iPad Pro / Stick. I was able to save pretty much anything that can be saved via the 'Share' menu in each different app. I tried videos, music, photos, word, excel, powerpoint, notes, garage band files, pixelmator files, adobe files, imovie projects and exported movies, etc.
- It's easy, just plug in the iBridge 3 stick, and if you are working in an app (example iMovie) then on the screen showing your projects etc. click on the Share button, and find the iBridge App. It's THAT easy. To import from it, same in reverse.
- It's a great way to have a hard copy backup of important files - just in casse icloud ever craps out or if you are not near the internet and want to transfer files easily.


TUCANO FILO FOLIO CASE FOR IPAD PRO 12.9

I came across this case by chance in Best Buy while I was getting the iBridge. I had been looking for a slim case, with built in cover, and the back case part covers all 4 sides (many only cover 3 sides leaving the left side open for compatibility for the apple smart cover. I don't like those because when in use, that side is left unprotected and I managed to get a small scratch in the aluminum. Luckily it's not really noticeable but I didn't want to chance getting more scratches / dents.) This case snaps on all 4 sides because it has its own cover anyway.

- It's made of material that supposedly reduces radiation when cover is closed
- It doesn't use leather for those who are against animal exploitation
- The material is very resistant to scratches, dirt, scuffs etc and can be wiped easily
- It feels good to hold, and maintains light slim profile
- The 12.9" iPad Pro version has a loop for holding the Apple Pencil which is snug, the pencil won't slip out by accident.
- Any viewing angle you want because the snap back cover grips to the inside of the front cover meaning it will stay at any angle you choose.
- Drawback is you can only use as a stand in landscape mode, but its comfortable to hold in the hand in either landscape or portrait.
- It has a magnetic flap closure so it works to turn off the screen and the flap grips the cover snugly when you fold it backwards to hand hold so you don't have the front cover loosely flapping making it hard to hang on to.
- It looks professional :) Seriously I ordered the iPhone 7 Plus version of the exact same case in the exact same colour so now I will have matching cases LOL.
