Panasonic RP-HJE150: earbuds

Clear cases and a film for iPad 2 + Smart Cover

I finally bought the following two:

[1] case (+ film; but film was poor quality)


[2] Film (Great quality! It was exactly bubble-less if you carefully remove dusts by the attached seal! Furthermore, its surface is very smooth and it does not get dirty by fingerprints; if it does a bit, you can easily wipe off fingerprints even by a tissue paper.)



Other candidates are as follows:

iPad 2 - replacement request and arrival of a new iPad 2

I had shipped iPad 2 back to Apple under Online Service Assistant order on May 28; my previous one contained a little dust in the display, so I wanted to replace it. I received a slip for my absence from a delivery company on Tuesday, June 7 though. A new iPad 2 seems to have no problem.

I was just impressed by Apple's great customer support; they admit even a small dust. I love their approach.
