So this just arrived ;) I’m loving it so far. I wanted a mixture between this and the sadly only available in the US Business Folio case. That one has pockets and space for a provided note pad, and the really cute polishing square.

I really wanted a case that would give a portrait stand and this certainly does that. It feels stable and secure. There is a pen/stylus loop that is annoyingly underneath so you have to take the pen out when you want to use the pad. You can fold it backwards but thats with the soft inner lining folded outside that I don’t like doing.

It’s stylish and feels secure and protective. We’ll see how it holds up over time. It is bulkier than some of the sleeves but  I’m happy with that to have my portrait stand view as well as the landscape.

I bought the Targus Pen Stylus to go with it. It looks chic and sexy and the biro is lovely to write with. I don’t know where one can get refills for it., I shall find out from Targus if they sell them.  The stylus nib on the end is not as good as the retractable Kensington mini one  that I’ve been using for a while now. The Kensington is great to write with and useful small but like the reviewer in the link I wouldn’t trust the accompanying attach to connector holder. I’ve added a phone  string clip thing to the end and now its attached to my lanyard/work security pass.

I got them both from Amazon in the end for £39. I went into John Lewis on the way home as I don’t like waiting for things but it was £44 RRP for the case and apparently they won’t’ Price Match the internet. Their loss.   I went back to the stand and using the Amazon iPhone app scanned the barcode and ordered it then and there. Hah!

I chose the free 3-5 day delivery and it arrived on the second day ;)

I was watching My Week With Marilyn yesterday in the coach down to London yesterday. She looks good on the New iPad doesn’t she? If you haven’t seen this I really recommend it. Eddie is brilliant and Michelle is practically channelling Marilyn. Kenneth loses Olivier a bit. I wasn’t very impressed with Vivian but Dame Judy is marvellous. Dominic’s Milton is slimy enough. Dougray’s Miller was well done. It’s a sweet, charming movie but has very dark undercurrents as poor Marilyn is controlled and confused by those she is supposed to trust?
Her time with Colin is a breath of fresh air.

Random aside what is it with media these days using my family names?!?!
My father wouldn’t mind though I think he’d have loved this, his claim to movie fame was being asked to play Tarzan. Being 6ft 5 and dashingly handsome he’d have given Weissmuller some serious competition :)
When is Revenge back on? I approve of that version of me :)
