QUESTION: Storage and transport of multiple i-devices

[Kelly Farrow]

Hi!! We currently have our 10 iPads in a box (yes, a cardboard box) for teachers to take to their rooms, and our 5 iPod Touches are in a large camera bag. Neither of these solutions are really working for us. Can anyone recommend a cart, case, or other storage/transport method for multiple i-devices? If you have links and pricing, that would be awesome!! (I would imagine we'll slowly get more than 10 iPads and 5 iPod Touches, so it can be a cart designed for more than we currently have.) Thanks!!

I can't really recommend the case we're using, because the way it charges is a mystery to me.  I would make sure that whatever cart you get does not work on a system that fully charges the device in slot one before moving on to the device in slot two.  This seems like a ridiculous way to set up a laptop cart, but it does appear to be what the one we purchased does!

My program uses an old AV cart with powerstrips mounted to it.  On the cart we carry 9 laptops, and will add our 10 iPads to it.

Basically the structure of the cart seperates everything into tiers. The top surface of the cart is left empty so instructors can use the space as needed. The first shelf holds a cardboard box with the chargers neatly kept: 3 prong plugged into electric strip, computer charger end neatly wound with enough length to get to computers. Second shelf holds iPads, stacked, with smart covers. And the bottom shelf holds the laptops stacked.

It is not the most beautiful, elegant storing of technology, but it is effective and allows for good storage, machines to be charged and instant classroom deployability.  I hope this helps.
