With the launch of the new iPad (iPad 3) just last week, we are getting numerous requests asking what the best new iPad cover is – well here is the solution: a round-up of our favourite new iPad covers.

The Cygnett Lavish in a delicious ‘earth’ purple gives great protection to your iPad 3 and utilises the iPad auto-sleep/ auto-wake function. The Lavish is also compatible with the older iPad 2, but is a perfect fit for them both. The soft microfibre interior ensures that your iPad 3 picks up no scratches whilst inside and the case is finished with a multi-level viewing stand meaning you can always get a comfortable viewing angle.

The Jivo Executive Buckle case is compatible with all three versions of the iPad, and is extremely unique and stylish. Made for both men and women, this case redefines fashionable cases, and is one of the most stylish iPad 3 covers that we have on GearZap.

This Union Jack designed new iPad sleeve ensures style and sophistication, as well as a strong hint of patriotism. Made from an extremely high quality leather style material, this Orbyx union jack sleeve is a million miles away from the tacky nature of most things patriotic. The sleeve design means your iPad is fully accessible when it is not protected, and there is also a pull-tab feature which allows you to easily remove your iPad and also secure it when not in use.

The Bubble Padded Sleeve is a universal tablet sleeve which is a perfect for the iPad 3rd gen. It is one of a whole host of new iPad accessories that we have added to the website over the past few weeks, and we are expecting to add a whole lot more as time progresses. The bubble design of the sleeve ensures that your iPad will receive adequate protection should you knock it or drop it whilst inside the case, and it will also keep your favourite Apple device safe should you transport it around inside a large and busy bag.

The KeyCase iPad case with keyboard is one of our most popular products ever for the iPad, and has been a best seller since it was first released in a lower quality version for the original iPad. The portable nature of having a protective case as well as a fully functioning full QWERTY keyboard that automatically pairs with your iPad every time it is turned on make it stand out compared to other standard iPad cases. What’s more, it also has a stand for comfortable viewing whilst you type.

That brings an end to our round up of our new iPad cases. We have loads, loads more on our website, and you can see them by visiting our iPad 3 case page or by checking out our full range of iPad 3 accessories.

At GearZap, we have been working extremely hard to find the perfect range of new iPad accessories, so that our loyal customers are able to find the exact products that they are after.

Although exact button placements are not going to be confirmed until we can get hands on the device on Friday 16th March, we are 99% certain that the following products are going to work with the new iPad (iPad 3).

The PadStand 2 is an iPad 3 stand (as well as a stand for other versions of the iPad, and other tablets too)  and is ultra small, and lightweight too. It is made from a rubber like material which will not damage your iPad but will stay sturdy at all times. Selling at just £9.95, the PadStand is affordable to all.

The ColcaSac Uintah is a brand new iPad 3 Sleeve that is added to our extremely popular ColcaSac range. ColcaSacs are made from all natural materials that are soft and cushioned, giving excellent protection to the device that they hold firmly inside. Compatible with all versions of the iPad, the ColcaSac is one of our most unique iPad 3 cases.

The STM Scout Extra Small iPad 3 bag, which can also act as a MacBook Air 11 bag, allows you to carry your new iPad as well as a range of new iPad accessories inside it as well, such as an iPad 3 stylus or an iPad 3 dock – depending on the size.

Power Support make the best screen protectors in the world – and what’s better (for Apple fans) – is that they only make their protective films for Apple products. Their screen protector for iPad 2 will actually work as an iPad 3 screen protector as the screen is exactly the same size (although not the same in style, with the retina display of the iPad 3 being one of its main selling points).

These are just a few of our iPad 3 accessories that will work from the iPad 2 range. Please check out our website for our full range of new iPad accessories, and order before 6pm for same day dispatch of your item.

Apple have just announced the new iPad, finally bringing an end to the constant rumours and speculation that have occured over the past few months.

At GearZap, we always like to stay one step ahead of our competition, and have already prepared categories on our website for the brand new iPad, and have a range of new iPad accessories that are already compatible.

New iPad Cases

We already have a selection of iPad cases on our website. This Orbyx Union Jack iPad case is expected to be extremely popular, just like it was for the iPad 2:

As well as softer style cases like the Orbyx one, we are also expecting to have an unrivalled new iPad hard case range.

iPad Sleeves

The ColcaSac new iPad Sleeve is also expected to be extremely popular. ColcaSac products have been popular across the board, with ranges also in Kindle and MacBook as well as and previous iPad models.

New iPad Docks

This new iPad Dock also worked with previous models of Apple’s iPad, and also works with the iPhone. It holds your iPad securely in place and charges it at the same time.

Other accessories that we will be listing include an iPad car holder range, a new iPad charger range and a new iPad stand range.

Tomorrow night, at 7pm GMT, Apple will finally unveiled their new iPad – is it going to be called the iPad HD?

After months of constant rumours and anticipation, Apple announced just a week ago that they would be holding a presentation tomorrow – the 7th March 2012, stating on the invitations that they had something to show, “And Touch.” This of course sparked rumours of all over the Internet, many of which incorrect – but what has been confirmed with the 3rd iPad (recognised by most as iPad 3)?

The iPad HD name does seem to fit the bill, should it feature the incredible 2048 x 1536 resolution screen, providing images on its retina display that other tablet manufacturers can only stare open-mouthed at. This was the feature that was most rumoured for the iPad 2 but did not show. Naming it the iPad HD would however suggest that it is a step between the iPad 2 and iPad 3, rather than the iPad 3 itself (as seen previously with the disappointment of the iPhone 4S rather than the release of the iPhone 5).

The excitement of a new iPad has gripped everyone here at GearZap, and you can guarantee that we will be the first to get any iPad HD accessories, iPad 2S accessories or iPad 3 accessories – depending on what they release and how Apple decide to name it!

These accessories include all of the usual things that come with all big releases, so expect to find a large iPad HD case range, iPad 2S case range or iPad 3 case range on our website!

Why are people saying that it may be called the iPad HD?

The rumours of the iPad HD name only started a few days ago. Someone had been looking into their website traffic and had noticed that someone had accessed their site from a device named the iPad HD. These results can not be faked, although editing may have occurred – although it also may be genuine.

Also, a little more recently, product part numbers were released from top manufacturers Griffin and Belkin with the name iPad HD on. So – does this mean that an iPad HD is on its way?

Well, if it is on its way, you will be able to pick up an iPad HD screen protector, an iPad HD stylus and more accessories at GearZap.com.

With the launch of the Sony Xperia S just around the corner (5 days to be precise) we have rushed to source some of the finest cases that are already available for the much-anticipated device.

The Sony Xperia S is one of the most innovatively designed phones that we have ever seen. Our favourite part is the see-through strip that runs about a centimetre above the base of the phone, which also lights up. Sony have always been famous for high quality designs, and the Xperia just typifies that reputation.

As well as being a great looking phone, it also has the technical specifications to rival many of the biggest phones in the market. With a 720 x 1280px screen, it easily beats the iPhone 4 and is right up there with the retina display of the iPhone 4S. Although it ships with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Sony have a planned update and plan to skip straight to the Ice Cream Sandwich dessert – forget the Honeycomb main course.

Featuring a 12-megapixel camera, it easily leaves most of the other phones in the market trailing in its wake, although it only runs a dual-core processor (which is pipped by HTC’s One X device) and only matches most of the best smart phones that are around today.

This Sony Xperia S case has a flip-style design and is an officially made Sony case. It has a stylish finish and is made from genuine leather which gives excellent protection to your phone. Finished with white stitching around the edge, this case complements your Xperia S in as many ways possible – adding character and personality in the process.

Already on our website is a wide range of Sony Xperia S cases including more official Sony cases and also a Krusell branded flip case. Check out the website once you have your Xperia S – or even just plan on buying one – to get your hands on a great Xperia S case of ours!

The Raspberry Pi – the eagerly anticipated credit-card sized computer – has gone on general sale today after months of hype surrounding the device.

The device, designed to help children learn how to code, costs just £22 – making it one of the cheapest computers ever made. However, all you receive with the board is well…nothing. You get the board. No Raspberry Pi accessories at all!

We’ve been excited for this release as much as anyone, and have already got some key products in stock for the Raspberry Pi. We are expecting this 3-in-1 Raspberry Pi power supply to be extremely popular:

This 3-in-1 pack includes a mains power supply, a car power supply and a USB power supply.

It is vital that you get the correct power supply in order to keep your Raspberry Pi in working condition (i.e. not blow it up!) and all of the chargers in this pack are 5V – exactly what is needed.

Another great product that we have in stock is the Raspberry Pi HDMI cable which is 5 metres long – allowing you to connect your Raspberry Pi to your HD TV or display unit and work from the other side of the room whilst doing so!

Be sure to pick up your Raspberry Pi accessories from GearZap.com. If you order before 6pm, we will dispatch your item TODAY!

HTC have announced their flagship phone for the year of 2012 at Mobile World Congress this week, with their One X smart phone.

The 4.7-inch screen size makes it a large phone, but there are definitely much bigger in the market. Despite its relatively large size, it is expected to be incredibly light thanks to the plastic back casing that HTC have chosen over the metal backing that most competitors opt for.

Beats Audio comes as standard, as does a two year Dropbox 25GB account. With a quad-core processor, this is expected to be one of the most exciting releases of 2012. The One X will also be running the latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich.

For your HTC One X accessories, make sure you head to GearZap.com – as you can be sure that we will have the greatest selection of accessories around.

HTC have also unveiled a number of other devices at MWC in the past couple of days, including the cheaper but slightly lower in spec One S.

Samsung have had a busy few months with new announcements, and at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona this week, they have announced a load more.

One of the most talked about devices that they have announced is the Galaxy Note 10.1. Being such a popular smart phone-come-tablet, and with a unique S-Pen stylus for accurate on screen interaction, the 10.1″ version is expected to be even more popular.

As with most new announcements, we will be stocking a range of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 accessories at GearZap.com. Expect the following to be on GearZap in the near future…

The Note 10.1 had been widely rumoured over the past week to two weeks, with an online slip-up revealing the Note 10.1 name. Obviously this could have been a typo, but there was reports of a job advert looking for a young male to be using a ‘Note 10.1′. This was then confirmed at MWC yesterday when a picture of signage confirmed the name.
