Reminder: please post your iPad accessory ratings/opinions!

Just a reminder to those of you who are using accessories such as cases, stands, screen protectors, or any other accessories with your iPad to share your ratings and opinions with others in our iPad Accessory Guide.

Your ratings and reviews will help build an valuable resource for the iPad community.

Good idea. It seems that there are a lot of accessories coming out, but it's hard to find reviews and ratings for them.

Still very few of you have posted your ratings and opinions on iPad accessories you've acquired.

What gives?

Seems like a lot of the things on the list are not actually available to purchase just yet. Is there going to be an easier mechanism for adding new items coming soon?

There's no place to rate the Gelaskins.

There should be a way to add items to be rated. For instance, I have had 2 bags now - 1 i really like and the other is waaaayyy too manpurse-like - or rather just a purse purse. Neither are available to be rated.

If you want it to be a true accessory guide and not one just of those who provide ad space/financial support then there needs to be more options out there.

Re: Reminder: please post your iPad accessory ratings/opinions!

@ SaltDoc - the theory is that you are supposed to use the Contact Us form and send in the items you have and would like to comment on or review. I've sent in several items to be added, and so far one has showed up. I'm sure they will get there, but this website is very slick and "pretty" and adding items for review also seems to involve pulling nice photos of the items and formatting the pages, which can go a bit slowly when you have an all volunteer staff. Plus, the 2 month long contests have taken up much of their time!

Try using the contact form and put in the bag info you have, OR feel free to take pics and post your review in the forums. If you do, once they can get the bag on the list, they can publish a link back to the forum right on the accessory page, so your information will be easy to locate.

@ Site Admins - if possible, please either send an email back to people who have sent in a request for items to be added once the item has made it into the guide, so they know they can go and post their review. Or, create s sticky forum thread where you can post new items available for review, and people can post there to request items to be added.

We've considered opening up the accessory guide to user additions, but that comes with a whole set of contingencies, namely:

1) SPAM control (this is the 500 lb gorilla in the room)
2) quality control
3) building a UI that is user friendly (our internal UI is friendly, but not prime-time friendly)

It's namely #1 and #2 that have kept us from pulling the trigger on an open system. The SPAM can probably be handled, but maintaining reasonable quality is a bit trickier. We still might do it.

If any of you are interested in volunteering to help maintain the accessory guide, by all means speak up! :)
