With Sharper Image and the surviving Brookstone brick-n-mortar stores, you can at least touch & feel them, especially when I'm at a trade show or conference nearby, with time to waste - and these stores would sometimes have sales, LOL. That is, if you can't wait until they hit Amazon or eBay.
I don't recall ordering anything at all from SkyMall, ever - as they're never on sale. Brookstone is clearing out their regular iPad protective case for as low as $6.99 and now, that's cheap - the slightly better ones @ $9.99 - must be overstocked again. SkyMall - forgetaboutit.
Probably got a few old copies in the basement from the 1980's next to UA's Vis-a-Vis magazine.
