iPad Bumper Cases Might Improve WiFi Reception

Is your iPad jealous of its iPhone 4 cousin’s Bumper case? Well now they can dress like twins because Boxwave has just released the iPad Bumper. This Bumper case does for the iPad as it did for the iPhone 4 – it will protect its edges without completely covering it up and it allows the beauty of the iPad to shine through. Heck, it might even improve WiFi reception. The iPad Bumper retails for $29.95 and this is one case that you will have to pay for.

TruFocals Eyeglasses

As people get older, their eyesight starts to decline, and I’m no exception. I was considering bifocals or progressive lenses until I was contacted by TruFocals, a company that makes a new type of eyeglass with adjustable focus. It sounded interesting, so I sent them my prescription. A week later I got a pair of circular lensed John Lennon-ish spectacles. They have a little slider on the bridge that I can move with with my finger to change the focus. When the slider is to the right, I can see fine print, and when the slider is to the left I can drive and watch movies. With the slider in-between, I can get crystal clear vision at any distance. They work very well. If you aren’t dissuaded by the $895 price tag, they might be just what you are looking for.
