iPad question
So I got the new iPad as a gift and will take it with me when I fly. Looked at buying an otter box to protect it but might rethink that if I have to remove it thru security. It is difficult to remove while in line. Anyone use this protection?
Thanks
Thanks

As this thread isn't related to American or AAdvantage, I'm moving it to the Travel Technology forum where those interested in this topic can comment. Enjoy your iPad!

You won't have to worry about taking it out of your bag, regardless of your choice of case. I have colleagues who have fairly bulky keyboard cases and they've never had a problem leaving them in their bags. I have a slim leather cover/case and have never been asked to remove it from my bag.

There are many places in the world where you do have to remove your Ipad (Madrid, for one), but I've never had to remove it from the cover.

That can vary - I have been requested to remove a tablet and reader from hand baggage on different occasions in US airports - and several times aborad.

Interesting to hear certain airports require you to remove it from your bag. I haven't been asked yet.
I just use the Smartcover for the screen. It works very well and doesn't make it any bulkier like the full encased shells tend to do.
