MacBook Air Contest Ends Soon!

The iPad is once again a great holiday gift. BUT, what about those who couldn’t wait for the holidays and already went out and grabbed their pretty new iPad? What do we get them to further the iPad experience? There are tons of accessories out there perfect for iPad users–here are a few of our favorites:

**Hammerhead** makes a variety of iPad accessories. They have several cases that fill most iPad users’ needs. The “**Hardshell Case**”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=++++++hard+shell&refinecat=iPad_Accessories|Cases_and_Sleeves|iPad_2 is the most popular; it’s a great hard plastic case that covers both the front and back of the iPad, offering great protection. Once opened it allows for a video/landscape view, or it can create a great typing layout. For those who already purchased Apple’s Smart Cover, Hammerhead makes a great “**Back Cover**”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=+hammerhead+back+cover that, coupled with the Smart Cover, will keep the entire iPad protected. There is also the “**Bluetooth Keyboard Case**”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/78830/hammerhead-bluetooth-keyboard-case-for-ipad-2-leather that the typer on your list will enjoy; it includes a Bluetooth keyboard and stylus. Speaking of styluses, Hammerhead has some “**great color choices**”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=++hammerhead+stylus++++&refinecat=iPad_Accessories|Pointing_Devices_and_Remotes. A stylus can be very useful with some of the apps available in the App Store. Check out all the great “**Hammherhead products**”:http://www.smalldog.com/mfg/?MfrName=Hammerhead on our website!

**Bluetooth** has been around for a while but has had a rebirth with the iPad: Speakers, headphones, keyboards and other accessories allow users to enjoy the iPad without plugging in a bunch of wires. “**Creative**”:http://www.smalldog.com/mfg/?MfrName=Creative+Labs makes a line of Bluetooth speakers perfect for music fans: they can push their favorite tunes or apps to a set of speakers across the room as they sit comfortably in their favorite chair. “**Bluetooth headphones**”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=++++++bluetooth+headphones make it possible to walk around cord-free as the iPad sits safely in its case; these headphones also include a mic for FaceTime or Skype as well as a remote to control volume, pause/play and skip functions. By pairing a Bluetooth keyboard with the iPad, users who do a lot of typing can compose emails, papers or iMessages faster than ever.

It’s important to keep the iPad clean; be sure and pick up some “**iKlear**”:http://www.smalldog.com/search/?find=++++++iklear.

In addition to the practical items above, there are also a number of fun accessories available. The “**Camera Connection Kit**”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/75682/apple-ipad-ipad-2-camera-connection-kit/at_bis allows users to upload their photos directly from their camera to the iPad and start to share on Twitter or Facebook. Another “**iPad power adapter**”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/78774/micro-accessories-ipad-10w-usb-ac-power-adapter/at_bis makes the perfect gift for those forgetful people on your list. The “**Scosche Headrest Mount**”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/79430/scocshe-backstage-p2-headrest-mount-for-ipad-1-2/at_bis allows the iPad to be attached to the back of a car’s headrest, which is great for the kids while mom or dad is driving.

_**Greetings once again from Manchester!**_

The month of November certainly was exciting for us. We celebrated our 1-year anniversary of being open with some great deals, and we survived the Black Friday rush. We also partnered with the Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire (ARLNH) to raise awareness of animals in need of adoption. We kicked off our partnership with a special adoption event hosted outside our Manchester Store in the Mall of New Hampshire. ARLNH brought a handful of dogs to the Mall, and shoppers met and played with them. One lucky dog found a home forever that day, and two are in the process of being adopted as well. We’ve had quite a busy past month and the next one will be just as bustling!

As we move into December, the holiday shopping season is starting to kick into high gear. Santa Claus has setup his workshop right outside our store and holiday music is in the air. The iPad looks to be our top-selling item this season once again. However, we still have plenty of other great gift ideas as well, a number of which are featured below.

Enjoy!

Ranking in as the coolest iPhone accessory I’ve played with in quite some time, the Dot by “**Kogeto**”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/79434/kogeto-dot-360-degree-video-recorder-for-iphone-4-4s-black/at_bis is definitely a device worth looking into. Now your iPhone 4/4S HD video camera just got even better. The iCONIC lens incorporated into this durable yet light-weight attachment captures fully immersive panoramic 360° video. View every angle of the video just by swiping your finger across the screen.

The free “**Looker**”:http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=19XpSnZWhPI&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http://itunes.apple.com/ar/app/looker/id465782176?mt=8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30 application allows you to share the video immediately as well. This is perfect for recording immersive videos during a sporting event, concert, road trip and more. One downside to the Dot is the video resolution. Although it still looks good, it seems to lose some of the HD quality that the phone records without the adapter. We shot some cool video with the Kogeto Dot in the Manchester store. “**Check it out for yourself!**”:http://www.smalldog.com/product/79434/kogeto-dot-360-degree-video-recorder-for-iphone-4-4s-black/at_bis Available for $79.99.
