Caze Swarovski Apple logo decal give away
Jul 19th
The Caze Swarovski Apple Logo Decal is just the item for adding a touch of bling to your iPhone. It features 26 Swarovski in the shape of an apple. The decal is handmade and I have had it on my iPhone for 3 weeks and I have not yet lost a Swarovski crystal. I use my decal with my CaseMate Chrome which I feel makes a nice pairing as the CaseMate Chrome has a opening in the back for the Apple logo. This also protects the logo from wear and tear.
The decal is self adhesive, similar to a sticker. Those worried about getting some adhesive stuck on the back of the iPhone can choose to use a clear round backing, which comes with the decal. (I used it for the photo but wouldn’t again — next time it goes bare on the back). I do wish that the apple logo and the leaf were stuck together as the leaf is getting loose and I worry that I will soon lose it.
The decal is wonderful but the drawbacks are that you can not use many cases with the sticker on. I have been able to still use my Mophie Juice Pack albeit snuggly, which would have been a deal breaker for me (yes, I often forget to charge).
Give-away: we have 2 Caze Swarovski Apple logo decals for our faithful TiPb readers. Just leave a comment below telling me why you want to bling out your iPhone it and be sure to include a real email address (we won’t make it public but we will use it to notify you if you win!). Now start typing!
The Caze Swarovski Apple Logo Decal is $19.90 and available in light blue, Pink, gold, clear, light purple and purple, from Caze.

iPad at Work: Audio Visual Coordinator
Jul 18th
How does an audio visual coordinator use his iPad to get the job done and what iPad apps help get him through his day? TiPb’s iPad at work contest aims to bring you just such slices of the iPad life. Here’s Aaron’s answer and as a small token of thanks we’re sending him a $20 iTunes gift certificate. If you want to see your name up on the TiPb home page and get a gift certificate all your own, head on over to the TiPb iPad Forum and share your story now!
I am the AV coordinator for a school district. My tasks include things like video editing and equipment repair, but the bulk of time is spend managing and running the theatre.
Of course I use my iPad for the usual synching with our exchange server. I use Safari to log into our help desk to check requests people have submitted to the AV dept. Things is a must on my iPad. It is in sync with Things on my iPhone and MacBook Pro. Everything from daily todo’s to major events taking place in the theater are organized in/with Things. When a new help ticket comes into my email inbox, it goes straight into Things.
In our main theater, we have an ETC Ion lighting console that can be remotely controlled from the iPad with the iRFR app. Simply turing lights on or off while on the catwalk, or sitting in the audience or fully controlling the moving lights are done from the iPad. When students are running the board, I can monitor the cue list from my iPad as a show is going on, even taking notes on individual cues.
The main sound mixing board can be accessed via Mocha VNC Lite and controlled from anywhere in the theater. Instead of mixing the sound from the back of the hall, I can be sitting where the audience will be, or various places throughout the hall.
Simple Note is used for all note taking in meetings and anytime I need to jot down some info such as part numbers, if I am working on a repair.
In my office, my iPad is on my desk in a Griffin Loop stand, ready to be used as an additional monitor with Air Display.
Since i got my iPad, my MacBook Pro has seldom left my desk, when I used to carry it across campus everyday.
What about you? Are you an audio visual coordinator? If so, which apps help you with coordinating? If not, head on over to the TiPb iPad Forum and let us know how you use your iPad in your job.

TiPb Give-Away: Gracie Gear workout clothes for women with iPhone holder built in!
Mar 18th
Here we have the Gracie Gear sports tops with handy PowerPouch for your iPhones or iPods for about $25.00 to $50.00. Gracie calls it the handsfree experience and yes, it is liberating. These tops are great for anyone who enjoys getting fit and for those who simply want to look like they are getting fit (I’m eating chocolate as I write this!).
Stay with us till after the break to find out more about Gracie Gear and how to enter the giveaway !
Design
The tops are made of a very strong and comfortable polyester spandex blend. They give your body lots of mobility without sacrificing support where you need it. The Racer back allows you to move around with ease and comfort. The high necked front on the tops also give you much more coverage.
iPhone PowerPouch
The PowerPouch is a wonderful three pocket design with a zipper enclosure so that everything stays in place. It has a small hole in the top side for your headphone wire, which allows the zipper to stay securely closed as you listen to the latest TiPB Live podcast. You can carry your keys and money in one compartment and not worry that your iPhone will be damaged or — gasp! — fall out. The loop on your shoulder strap keeps your earphone wire neatly in place as you train.
The Giveaway
This one is for the ladies only. (Sorry guys, you’ve had plenty of turns!) Gracie Gear [Gracie Gear Shop Link] has graciously offered to give away five (5) shirts to our TiPB readers. Just choose one of the three shirts displayed in the gallery (Black bra top, Yellow bra top, or Blue halter top) and leave a reply on our TiPb Forums thread telling us which you want, and telling Gracie what you think of their gear (don’t be shy to make suggestions!)
