What experience to people have with a case for the iPad to protect it from dust, mud, Gatorade or any other hazards present in the dugout? I've started using the iPod Touch version, but my wife is not too excited about me using the new iPad.

I used the iPad last summer for about 50 games. I have the iPad1 with apple case. no screen protector. yes dust and dirt collect on the screen . but it survived. the bigger concern is "heat". Need shade, overheats in 80 deg direct sunlight.

that said when in the dug out or on base coach, I use my iTouch because i can operate with one hand. scored roughly 50 games that way last summer too.

Use data transfer to move games to the master device after scoring.

I use the Moshi iVisor and recommend it HIGHLY. It cuts down on the glare and greatly reduces fingerprints. It's much easier to install than most of the screen protectors that are prone to bubbles...this one is guaranteed bubble-free, as it uses a thin silicone seal just around the edges. Installation took about 5 seconds. I also use the original Apple iPad case, and it is awesome with the Moshi - a perfect fit.

Another product I recommend is the Richard Solo Portable Power Max. This device is a lithium battery backup, about the size of two decks of cards, and it has enough power to recharge the iPad several times. We had a quadruple header a couple of weeks ago, and I'm glad I had this device -- I'm always worried about running out of power!

I use the Military Survivor kit from Griffin, it is the best Ipad protector ever, It protects the whole Ipad, including the screen. I love it, I have on both Ipads I have.

I use mine sans protector. It wipes off easily. Shade is a must to prevent overheating and it helps with the glare.
