The tablet is a revolutionary form of communication and function and will pave the way to a future that is even more interconnected than ever before. Although not considered as mobile as the phone, using a tablet is still one of the simplest ways to perform simple and complex tasks with little to no movement. The idea behind a tablet, beyond the merits of performing tasks or playing games, is one I believe is quite status oriented. Many people buy their iPad or Kindle or Galaxy because they see others doing so and would like to enhance their social being with a fancy new gadget. It is really a trend in motion although, unlike many trends, the tablet is far from and will probably never die out.
Because of the inclination people have to buy new tablets due to the "you have one so I want one" factor, I see many people who actually grow dissatisfied with their tablet because other people have one that looks just like theirs. Let's face it, there are only so many tablets out there and 100's of millions of people ready and willing to purchase, one so some people may find themselves blending in with the "herd" so to speak. As a result, on top of the 100's of dollars they spent on their tablet, people will go out and buy a brand new accessory that differentiates themselves from the crowd. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I am here to speak about today. You see, people want to be a part of society and they want to fit in but, at the same time, people want to maintain a sense of individuality and an utter and unique self that makes them feel special. This is entirely normal and there are many different way to do this. Your style should define yourself and many people who purchase tablets find that these factory duplicate devices do not always do this. So what are your options? How can you redefine your tablet in a way that suites your sense of identity? We shall explore that next. The main accessories I believe can really make your tablet stand out are cases. I believe that the type of case you choose for your tablet can affect the way you are viewed by the world. Let's explore...
The Case
Sometimes, in order to make a statement, you have to envelop yourself in something new, something flashy, something unique. This is no different with your tablet. The case, of course, is one way to do this. The colors are as numerous as the stars and there is no end to the variety of designs available online, so the best place to begin is with the different styles. Of course, I want to point out that different tablet cases do have a function but that is not what I am here to talk to you about. I am here to explain how the different styles of cases can affect your appearance and redefine your tablet thus redefining yourself and the way people will perceive you. This is something many people consider before buying a case for their tablet. The best place I believe to start is the messenger bag.
The Case: Messenger Bags - The Business Minded
The messenger bag is a type of case people use for that tablet that makes it easier to carry around. All you have to do is slip a strap over your shoulder and you're on your way. This, of course, is a function but there is something else that is said about this type of case; Business type, professional, student or go getter. The messenger bag creates the perception that you are too busy to simply carry your case in your hands. The perception this case creates is that your hands are for your cell phone and you're on the go thinking about your next move in life. Whether you're going to school or on a plane making your way to your next business trip, when people see you with a messenger bag I believe the sense that your time is valuable becomes more apparent. Much a like a briefcase in the hands of a freshly dressed gentleman, a messenger bag tells a similar tale. Of course, there are other things to consider such as the clothes you are wearing and your hygiene but, if dressed appropriately, a messenger bag will complement an "all business" persona someone might be looking for. A sleeve case, which is a simple zip down case that you slide a tablet in to, tells a similar story with a little less gravity than a messenger bag due to its more simplistic design. The next type of case that creates its own aura is the folding folio case. This case comes in many styles and designs but they all have a similar effect. The first is the book styled folding case.
The Case: Folding Folio Cases - The Practical and Simple
The folding folio case, if left alone to carry your tablet in, has a simpler statement. It says you are practical or easy going. Walking down the street with a folding folio case gives one the appearance of a person who is less stressed and has a logical mind. This appearance can come from the intent of the folio case which is quite simple indeed - to protect and serve as a simple stand for viewing your tablet. In my opinion, the function of an object can say a lot about a person's attitude and sense of self. In addition, because a folding folio case is so simple in design and nature, I believe that it creates the perception you are someone who thinks in practical terms and does not let the ups and downs of life impact your attitude as much as other people might. The next case on our list is a close cousin of the folding folio case, but because of its function I believe an entirely different statement is made through its use. This case is the rotating folio case.
The Case: Rotating Folio Cases - The Savvy
A rotating folio case is designed so you can view your tablet from multiple angles, both vertically and horizontally. Because of these extra functions I believe that this type of case can create the sense that you are modern and edgy. It is a case that says "I know my gadgets" and "I am totally 21st century". Many of us want to be on top of the newest trends and styles and the 360 degree rotating case makes a statement such as this. When you own this type of case it can create the perception that you are indeed in "tune" with your tablet, thus giving off the perception of person who has a cutting edge character. This, in the list of cases is really the final type of design that truly asserts a particular persona and accentuates your personality.
The Cases: In Conclusion
So, regardless of what type of person you are or who you see yourself as, just remember that the way you style your tablet can subtly affect the way you are perceived. We all want to be individuals but, at the same time, we all fit in somewhere or with a certain group of people, and through your tablet and the way you style it you can very easily accent your character.
