In fall 2011, LA-based audio engineer Manny Nieto (Mars Volta, GVSB, Retox, etc…) went on a recording trip through China and SE Asia.

A few days prior to departure we provided him a few Incase bags for his MacBook rig and microphones. Originally he was only supposed to be gone 3 months. Instead he spent 9 months on the road…recording and traveling every day with our bags.

Check out how Manny is using his Incase pack to rig a makeshift mic stand while recording an opera singer.

Manny returns to China next month to resume recording. Safe Travels Manny!

With all that iPad has to offer, it’s sure to reshape the way we travel with our technology. To meet the needs of iPad users on the move, Incase has a host of power and protective solutions specifically designed to keep your iPad powered up and travel-ready.

Our popular chargers have been revamped to power up your iPad, now featuring a 2-amp output USB port for the fastest possible charge for your iPad, iPod or iPhone. Both the Combo Charger and Car Charger carry the “Works with iPad, iPhone and iPod” designation from Apple, ensuring your iPad and other Apple portables stay powered up and ready when you’re on the go.

Our new Travel Kit Plus is a complete carrying solution for your iPad, Incase Combo Charger (or Car Charger) and accessories, featuring a two-compartment design for maximum storage, organization and protection. Its dedicated iPad compartment features reinforced sidewalls for extra iPad cushioning and a plush faux-fur lined interior for scratch protection.

The additional compartment is designed to hold all your peripherals with ample storage pockets and a three-sided zipper closure for easy access. A large Velcro pocket is sized to fit your Apple Wireless Keyboard while two integrated elastic bands provide cable management. Additional pockets hold everything from your charger and viewing stand to USB drives, earbuds and more.

Packaged with our Travel Kit Plus is a custom viewing stand designed to provide cable management for your Dock Connector to USB Cable. The viewing stand provides two viewing angles for iPad in landscape position.

The new 2-amp Chargers and Travel Kit Plus are available exclusively in our webstore and at the Apple Store. For a limited time, purchase the Travel Kit Plus and our Combo Charger from our webstore and receive free shipping.

Please note that our new chargers have been updated from a previously released dual USB port design with 1-amp output. The older version is “Works with iPhone” and “Made for iPod” certified, but is not recommended for use with iPad. For any questions, please contact our Consumer Support team at 1-888-283-8288.

Our first stop on the coast.

This was the best view. At this point we knew the day would get even better. Out of the gray and into some sun.
