NewerTech accessories protect iPad

With all the excitement of the iPad building, have you considered how you’re going to protect your new investment? It’s probably a good idea to buy a new iPad bag or case. Fortunately, there are lots of protective gear to choose from, including some new products from Newer Technology announced on Thursday.

The NewerTech NuVue Screen Protector with Privacy Shield for iPad ($40) is a plastic overlay for the iPad screen. It prevents others from seeing the screen when viewed from an angle. You can also get a version of the NuVue Screen Protector without the Provacy Shield for $10.

The NewerTech (NuGuard Soft Silicone Case for iPad](http://eshop.macsales.com/search/nuguard+silicone) ($18) gives your iPad a bit more grip and covers the back and sides. It’s available in blue, green, red, orange, black, and white.

If you prefer a case that’s a bit tougher than a silicone skin, there’s the NewerTech NuGuard Hard Shell Polycarbonate Case ($25). If you don’t like plastic, you can try the NewerTech NuGuard Hard Shell with Leather Backing ($25).
