Bag for iPad mini 7, Need suggestion

bibirbieber — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 11:44:09 +0800

Hi sifus,

I recently got myself an iPad Mini with cellular connection, mainly for use outdoors without needing to rely on my phone's hotspot. Now I’m looking for a small, compact bag that can fit the iPad Mini along with the Apple Pencil—just enough for daily carry, not too bulky, but also not too tight.

I’ve searched online, but most of the options I found are either too large (designed for full-sized tablets) or too small to comfortably fit the iPad Mini + accessories.

My max budget is around RM150.

Appreciate any recommendations from those who’ve found a good fit for their iPad Mini setup. Bonus if it's something local or available in Malaysia.

Thanks in advance!

Is screen protector glass is necessary for iPad ?,

art6969 — Wed, 02 Oct 2024 19:25:12 +0800

Pros of Screen Protectors

Scratch and Impact Protection: The primary benefit of screen protectors is their ability to safeguard your device’s screen from scratches and impacts. By absorbing the initial impact, they prevent the glass from directly contacting hard surfaces, reducing the likelihood of cracks and damage.
Increased Durability: Screen protectors add an extra layer of durability to your device, prolonging its lifespan and potentially saving you money on costly repairs or replacements.
Fingerprint and Smudge Resistance: Many screen protectors are designed to repel fingerprints and smudges,keeping your device’s screen cleaner for longer periods. This feature is especially beneficial for those who frequently use their devices on the go or for work-related tasks.
Privacy Options: Some screen protectors come with a privacy filter, making it difficult for others to view your screen from an angle. This feature is ideal for maintaining confidentiality during sensitive tasks or when you’re using your device in public spaces.

Cons of Screen Protectors

Reduced Screen Clarity: One common drawback of screen protectors is that they can affect the device’s screen clarity, particularly if you opt for lower-quality protectors. The installation process could lead to bubbles or smudges, further compromising the visual experience.
Sensitivity and Touch Issues: Depending on the material and quality, some screen protectors may hinder touchscreen sensitivity, leading to delayed or inaccurate responses to touch gestures. This can be frustrating for users who require precise input for tasks like gaming or design work.
Installation Challenges: Applying a screen protector correctly can be tricky and requires patience to avoid air bubbles and misalignment. If not done properly, it could impact the overall effectiveness of the protector or lead to an unsightly appearance.
Compatibility with Cases: Certain screen protectors might not be compatible with some phone cases, causing the edges of the screen protector to peel or lift, exposing the screen to potential damage.

Has anyone tried using esim on the new ipads?,

ialive — Sat, 13 Jul 2024 02:51:29 +0800

So the newer ipads, Ipad Pro 2024 M4 and Ipad Air 2024 don't have physical sim slot anymore and only support esims, I'm wondering if there are people here who uses esim for the cellular versions of the ipads and what carrier are you using and how is the experience so far?

iPad mini now?, Should I?

SpIcYjOe — Sat, 03 Feb 2024 15:41:36 +0800

Hi Sifu, I have been pondering if I should get the iPad mini now.

I’ve been reading some news about iPad mini and it all has different opinion on when the next one will be released. Some say March.

I just don’t wanna get one now and find out that March they launch a new version of iPad mini.

What do you reckon? Will Apple announce the mini in March?

Thanks,
Joel

Ipad Air 3rd Gen, booting up issue,

gamenoob — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 23:39:08 +0800

My ipad have some issues with on button. Need to press several time rapidly or flip the magnetic cover rapidly to boot up. It's getting worst.

Reset to factory not helping either. Do Apple authorised service center in Sunway Pyramid still repair such old model or any 3rd party shop aroubd puchong subang can recommend to repair such?

Thanks

Hi LYN, wanna ask if the iPad Air 4 screen replacement from AliExpress/Taobao is comparable to iFixit's ?

thinking to replace it myself...

or if there's any other recommended repair shop?

sent my ipad air 4 to get its charging port replaced, it ended up came back with a new issue with the LCD screen having wrinkles, which is highly due to overheating of the screen using heat gun...
