If you have 100 bucks to spend on a premium iPad case, Sena Cases has got your number with the Folio (http://www.senacases.com/apple/apple-ipad-cases), a high-end, Napa leather case that dresses up the Apple tablet in sophisticated style.

It sports a soft, gorgeous leather book style, side-folding design that oozes class. It’s great that the Folio case looks so sharp and snazzy, but if it were looks alone in which it excelled, it certainly wouldn’t be worth a C note. The Sena case offers good protection and is very flexible.

After Effects has such a powerful built-in text engine, what more could an animator need? Noise Industries (http://www.noiseindustries.com) has answered that question by taking a close look at existing features and augmenting them with their Motype 1.2 plug-in (US$99).

This MacNews Category Review looks at part one of recipe software for the Mac.

If the Vario from Zerochroma (http://www.zerochroma.com) isn’t the most versatile iPad case/stand around, I’m not sure what is. It provides an angle-setting, rotatable carrying solution for the Apple tablet.

If you’re striving for a paperless office, Fujitsu’s (http://us.fujitsu.com/scanners) US$495 ScanSnap S1500M for the Mac is a product you should add to your must-buy list. The scanner transfers paper docs into digital docs without having to adjust scanner settings — and is a breeze to use.
