Is there anyone here other than those with really small children who they let use their iPad who would even think of strapping that thing onto your iPad???

:eek::eek::eek:

IMO it looks like if you were a circus clown and you wanted to fit in with the rest of the circus folk you might use something like that.

At first I thought it was a joke!

I thought it was a joke at first, like a fake product like this:

It does remind me of this though:

A) I'd never humiliate my iPad by strapping iBallz on it.
B) Even if I did, my dog would probably destroy the iBallz thinking there were a toy for him.
 
I had them for the ipad1 they were terrible. Struggle to use. Owner refunded my money and let me keep them so from that perspective they were A+
 
Indeed it does... It was a good concept though, it would offer excellent protection!

Haha so does wearing one of those full body sumo outfits everywhere you go!

Not disagreeing with you but I still can't believe those are a real product!
 
iBallz has saved my iPad from numerous drops by my autistic child, who uses the iPad for language acquisition. The company (and it is a small company by my understanding) also supports some great organizations who work hard to avail tablet education to special needs students. iBallz offers great protection, is an admirable start-up company in the middle of a recession, and I don't know why you all are so negative about the product.

Sorry to hear about your autistic child.

Fact: iBalls is ugly
Fact: I am sure it is helpful for special needs
Fact: It is still ugly even if it fits a small niche

Other than a special needs individual I cannot imagine at any given time someone voluntarily strapping those balls onto their iPad. Which was the initial point of my somewhat superflous post.

Well sure, it's ugly, but you could argue that bulky cases like the Otterbox Defender are ugly too. It's hard to get protection without sacrificing looks and/or slimness.
 
Here's an interesting question, which do you hate most about iBallz, the appearance or the name?

Haha I have to say it's more the look than the name. I mean if they made the balls look like eyes, that would be kinda cool. :D
 
its neat if for nothing else, you can tell someone to " get some iBallz"

This is an open forum, kid. No one was being intentionally mean. Besides, you can't tell people what they can and can't say or talk about.

And quite frankly, you should really use some punctuation if you expect this crowd to have any respect for your thoughts. You're only making things worse by posting, because this thread hadn't been posted to in a month. Now YOU just stirred it all up again.
