DIY : Cheap iPad accessories

I was walking around KLCC today looking for some accessories for my iPad2. I was kinda surprised that there were 3 choices of iPad2 case already available in Machines KLCC. However it was at a whooping RM 3xx price tag and it did not interest me at all as it was kinda thick. The other sleeves available there for the iPad which fits the iPad2 perfectly was also kinda plain and pricey. RM 1xx for neoprene case... that is insane!!

However, I figured out that I can find a temporary case before the iPad2 is launched here for more options, so I walked into Kinokuniya Bookstore in KLCC.  

The answer....

DIY : local adapter plugs for Apple products (At almost no cost)

This is a simple DIY that can be used for all Apple Adapters.

I had a few Apple products along the way and it's adapter were mostly not 3-pin standard plugs. Obviously because I got them from China and US which comes with a 2-pin flat tongs. 

Previously for my iPod adapter (Bought it separately for my iPod Video 30G in China) I got the 3 pin convertor included along with 2 pin round tong and the China standard flat tongs. 

3 Pin convertor for Apple adapters

Since I just got my new Apple Toy last night and I wanted to quickly charge it... As it came from US, the plug will not fit in the wall. So, I borrowed a cable from my Sony PSP adapter, plug it in and it was DONE!

These are standard 2 pin cables for low voltage devices you can find around the house. Travel Iron, Water heater, Radio, Speakers... Or, if you buy it off shelf, it cost only < RM 5.00.

AND wait, that't more.

It also extends the cables, so you can plug it to the wall to charge your device while you play with it on the BED!!

Simple, Cheap, Fast DIY to safe you a trip to the store!!
