Red Bull KTM rider Sandro Cortese rode a classic hard and tactical clever race in Misano on Sunday to seal the victory in a typical do or die Moto3 battle on Sunday on the circuit newly named in memory of Italian racer Marco Simoncelli. Luis Salom of Spain on the KALEX-KTM was second in front of Italian Romano Fenati.
It was a brilliant ride for the German racer on the KTM Moto3 bike and he has surged ahead in the points to have a lead of 46 points over rival Maverick Vinales of Spain. Vinales fought hard from the middle of the pack at the start to be a podium contender in the final laps but eventually finished fifth. It was Sandro Cortese's third GP win of the season but he has been a model of consistency and was on the podium in every race other than a wet weather race in France when he finished sixth.
"I think it was one of the best but most difficult race of the season," Cortese said. "It's hard to keep your concentration and do your best but in the last two laps I gave 200 percent and took risks and managed to pull away."
Other KTM-driven machines in the top ten mix were Luis Salom on the KALEX-KTM in second, Germany's Jonas Folger at sixth and Australian Arthur Sissis in tenth.
Cortese started on pole after a difficult few qualifying sessions where changeable weather prevented teams from coming up with the right settings but the race day turned on near perfect conditions. Cortese got away well in the 23-lap race but right from the start the race shaped up to be a nail biter. Cortese and Folger were early leaders but Fenati of Italy proved one of the hungriest riders on the circuit. He challenged Cortese and led for most of the race, in the end picking up too much tire wear to challenge when most necessary, in the final corners.
Cortese rode his usual cool and calculated race and was still tucked in behind Fenati when riders entered their eighteenth of 23 laps. But at that stage nothing was clear with no less than 11 riders in a tightly packed group and ready to take advantage of any opening. Cortese slipped past Fenati in the nineteenth lap and Luis Salom, whose last lap tactics have also been honed this season eventually slipped into second saying at the end of the race: "This was a very hard race. There were too many riders in the lead group and it was not possible to take Sandro in the last lap."
Riders next compete in Aragon, Spain on September 30 before embarking on three overseas racers in the southern hemisphere before returning for the finale in Valencia, Spain in November.

Special Olympics transforms lives through the joy of sport, every day, everywhere. We are the world's largest sports organization for people with intellectual disabilities: with 4.4 million athletes in 170 countries -- and millions more volunteers and supporters. We are also a global social movement.
Through the power of sports, people with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills and success. Our athletes find joy, confidence and fulfillment -- on the playing field and in life. They also inspire people in their communities and elsewhere to open their hearts to a wider world of human talents and potential. Here's a slideshow showing the full spectrum of our activities. SEE IT ››
For more than 43 years, Special Olympics has been spreading the message: people with intellectual disabilities can – and will – succeed when given the chance.
With training and competitions in 32 Olympic-style sports, our athletes push hard and play harder. They strive to beat their personal bests, defying the odds again and again. From the local ballfields to the shining stage of the World Games, from swimming to snowboarding, our athletes showcase the talents and triumphs of people with intellectual disabilities.
"At every small event, at every big event, our athletes are striking out at injustice and challenging intolerance. "Tim Shriver, Special Olympics Chairman and CEO
Special Olympics works to spread compassion and acceptance in a way that can unite the world. Our goal is to awaken everyone -- and every community -- to each person's common humanity. This vision of inclusion starts at the local level. It is expanding on a global scale.
There are about 200 million people with intellectual disabilities around the world. We want to reach out to every one of them – and their families and communities as well.
Special Olympics is the leading voice in raising awareness about the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities.
We fight negative stereotypes and misperceptions. We educate people young and old about the skills and gifts of our athletes. We provide educational experiences for coaches, volunteers and teachers to enhance their knowledge and show them how the Special Olympics experience can transcend all aspects of their lives.
Special Olympics leads the world in researching the concerns of people with intellectual disabilities and how others perceive them. We use the research to influence policy and bring services to those in need. Special Olympics' research is a powerful force for social and policy change around the globe.
Special Olympics is also the world's largest public health organization for people with intellectual disabilities. Many of our athletes come to us with neglected health problems. At World Games and other events, we offer a wide range of free health screenings and care.
Our goal is to bring better fitness, nutrition and healthier lifestyles to everyone involved in Special Olympics -- from athletes and their families, to coaches and volunteers.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!

I use my frag tank to qt all new fish arrivals less wrasses. I don't quarantine the wrasses since the only diseases they are likely to have is internal parasites and that's only going to kill them. I once quarantined a wrasse for 6 weeks put it in the display it went into the rock and I never saw it again. That was the end of that.
I don't medicate my fish but if any ever got sick I would. Stuff like ick is not worth medicating since a healthy fish should be able to recover no problem.
The primary reasons I do this is to get the fish eating and make sure it's healthy.
I have the ability to qt corals but I never do. Oh sometimes they go in for a couple of days while I decide where I want them, but I never leave them in for 4-6 weeks to make sure they have no parasites diseases or other pests.
Posted 11 January 2011 - 06:05 PM
Since discovering a Zoa eating Nudibranches in my main tank, I'm quarantineing all my zoa colonies for 4 weeks, and dipping them in CoralRX every week. Hopefully this is long enough for the ones in the main tank to die off. From now on I'm dipping every new coral in CoralRX and Lugol's Iodine before it goes in the tank, but I don't plan to quarantine new corals yet.

I do plan on putting my replacement fish through the QT tank, so it will stay set up long enough for me to do that. Not a set in stone QT time line, but I will probably shoot for about a week in QT with a low dose of Cupramine and maybe at a lower salinity than normal.
After I am done with all that, the QT tank will come down and be stored for the next time I need it. Since the equipment is probably dosed with meds, the tank will pretty much stay "set up".....but with no water and it will be hiding in a closet.

Posted 26 May 2011 - 08:48 AM
Don't put live rock et al in them. Just set it up then use active carbon and water changes to keep things at acceptable levels and pieces of PVC for fish to hide in.
All this crap about having to cycle/maintain a QT tank is just down right silly.
As to duration... Depends on the fish/coral. Standard is 10 days. Longer for some fish, for example when one is needing to be weened off of live food onto pellets. Coral standard is 10 days as well.

When I get my one fish it's going straight into my tank 'cause there's no other fish to infect and my setup isn't adequate for anything except corals.

All incoming Acro and Montis get dipped before entering the QT. If I see any sign of AEFW or Monti Nudis, the corals get dipped once a week for 4 weeks. They then get dipped again a month later and inspected for Red Bug. If that dip comes up clean, then they can go into my display tank. Either way, I utilize a two month minimum QT on SPS.
I do not QT fish.

I used to quarantine corals, but now I just dip and thoroughly inspect them beforehand

The only thing ive not bean plagued by is AEFW thank God, but im CERTAIN that ill see it in QT eventually. Likely sooner than later at the rate of all those that dont QT or QT for insufficient periods of time...1 month is my minimum QT and thats only if there is zero change in the coral/fish to the naked eye. If something looks even remotely out of place and I cant find the cause then its a month longer and so on.
Bottom line is that Ive got too much money invested in my tank to risk it without an insurance plan(QT).
This is a great guide to QT: http://reefkeeping.c...ature/index.php

The Iceman buildeth – using water from his heating system
Roger Hanson's gigantic backyard ice sculpture for this year, made using water from his home's geothermal heating system
Article Summary
Most of us living in the upper reaches of North America are getting pretty tired of winter by now, but for one Minnesota resident, the arrival of spring will mean the destruction of his incredible work of art. Software engineer Roger Hanson uses water from his home's geothermal heating system, along with a half-inch rebar framing system and a computer-controlled robotic sprayer, to create gigantic free-form ice sculptures in his backyard. His current masterpiece is 85 feet (26 meters) wide and 64 feet (19.5 meters) tall – although winter's not over yet.

Smart Case for iPad review
The Apple Smart Case for iPad is one of the most un-Apple-like products I've ever seen
Immediately following the keynote at WWDC, Apple silently announced a new case for the iPad called the Smart Case that offers customers a way to protect the back of their iPad while still utilizing the functionality of a Smart Cover -- well, in theory.
Just like the Smart Cover, the Apple Smart Case is made out of polyurethane and is available in the same six colors: light gray, dark gray, blue, green, pink, and red. The inside of both the cover and main body of the case is made of a nice soft suede so that you can trust that your precious iPad will not be scratched when placed inside.
To put the iPad in the Smart Case, you have to push it into the main casing and it isn't exactly very easy to do. It's even more difficult to get off. This would be an acceptable trade-off if the case fit snuggly and perfectly -- but it doesn't. Although the iPad doesn't slide around inside the case, you can see a space between the iPad and the Smart Case. It also has a strange lip around the outside of the entire case, making the body larger than the Smart Cover. This not only makes the iPad larger without added functionality or protection, but also makes it a bit awkward to open the cover since you must get your fingernail underneath it in order to lift it. Well, that's not entirely true -- you could also just turn the iPad upside down.
That's right. The magnetic feature of the Smart Cover that snaps the cover onto the iPad does not work with the Smart Case because the magnetic force is too weak. Let me say that again: the cover on the Smart Case will not keep a magnetic hold to the front of your iPad -- and it's all because that darn lip around the edge of the body of the case doesn't allow the cover to physically touch the front of the iPad, thus reducing the effect of the magnets.
The Smart Case allows easy access to all the ports on the iPad and covers the power button and volume keys while still making it easy to use them. However, all the cutouts don't matchup perfectly. This is particularly annoying with the mute switch because the cutout is just enough too high to make it difficult to flip up the switch. The back of the case features a white Apple logo in the center, right where it would be on your iPad.
Apple claims that you can easily fold back the cover to use as a stand, but I wouldn't trust it when standing tall. Because of the way the cover sits with the case, the iPad stands almost completely vertically and doesn't seem to be very stable. I'm terrified it's going to come crashing face down at any given moment. Maybe that's why Apple include the lip around the edge -- so when your iPad experiences a face plant, the screen won't actually hit the surface that your iPad is standing on.
The good
- Offers protection to both the front and back of the iPad
- The automatic ON/OFF feature of Smart Cover works on the Smart Case
The bad
- Lid does not stay magnetically closed
- Doesn't have a perfect fit
- "Features" an annoying lip all around the edges
- Is not very stable as a stand
- Cutouts do not perfectly match up
- Cover is hard to lift (if not flipping upside-down)
The bottom line
I was excited when Apple announced the Smart Case for the iPad but was disappointed almost immediately after taking it out of its box. Honestly, I think Apple should be ashamed of letting something so sloppily made hit the shelves. If you're looking for a case that works well with Apple's Smart Cover, you're better off picking up an Incipio Smart feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case.

Smart Case for iPad review
Mine works fine. It's lightly magnetic - not as strongly so as the previous cover (but then it doesn't need to be given it's a case, not a cover). The holes align with the ports, including the headphone. agree it's ever so slightly loose, and I miss not being able to tuck the lid into a flap and have it sit on my lap as with the first case. but it's a blend of the first case and the first cover to create both. i'm happy with it (up until now I'd been using the original case on my ipad 3 as I preferred it. this is better than the cover and at least the holes line up).
Agreed: I'm using the Project Red Smart Case, and it works perfectly well.
There IS magnetic closure with that magnetic "snap" in place. As Alan said, it is not as strong a magnet, but certainly stays closed even held upside down by the body edges (not touching the top lid).
I was thinking to just return this case (see my first post below) after reading this review, but I'm glad I went ahead and tried the case out.
I'm quite happy with this case: every hole aligns well, even the hole-for-hole speaker area.
I actually did not. I don't have an iPad 2 in SF with me while at WWDC. I'm sure the iPad 2 does fit much better. Apple shouldn't have designed a "one size fits all" case, though. They have two different iPads and should should've made two different cases.
Here is a review I did on the case. I find my case works when closing, it stays closed, but I agree on the rest. After using it for two days, the cover and stand are not that bad. I agree about the fit, loose but somewhat stable. Check out my review!
I agree with the initial comments, btw great and comprehensive review Matt, I actually really only like that it has good materials and the apple logo is nice. But the lip on the front and the way you have to pry it open a bit to start using the iPad is the deal breaker for me. I would have to say that the original smart cover plus a nice rear shell such as a powersupport air jacket is my ideal combo for pro protection. I'll be posting a review on the new air jacket on www.youtube.com as well. Great review Leanna, at least the review pictures came out nice which I know is your area of expertise. Go check out Matts review on this so you can really see this thing in action before plunking down $50 at apple.
Great review by Matt, super detailed and concise. I love that it is made from nice materials and has an apple logo on it. But the deal breaker for me is the lip and how poorly it seems to fit. I didn't like the fact that you have to pry it open to start using it and it reminds me a bit of the terrible case that came out for the 1st gen iPad. For me the original smart cover is a major design win and coupled with something like a powersupport air jacket(which I am reviewing the new one for the ipad3 on YouTube soon) is an ideal combo for protection. Awesome review and pics Leanna, and if you guys want to see this thing in action go check Matt's review on YouTube, it's really well done and may help you decide if you should go to apple and plunk $50 or not.
I got the case in dark grey and I really really like it. It adds very little bulk, fits nicely, easy to insert the iPad. The bezel provides a nice aesthetic, the lid closes very nicely and it's is slightly narrower than the bezel with is actually very helpful in keeping it closed. The texture is soft and comfortable to hold. I am so happy with it after trying speck, ifrogz summit and incase. Really great offering.
lol. yeah, ok. The Apple case for the iPad 1 also sucked and that was under the rein of Steve Jobs.
How is this screw the consumer? Is this the ONLY case available? Are you FORCED to purchase this case when you buy your ipad? Will this case please everyone?
No. If you don't like it move on.
I personally loved the first gen iPad case and wished Apple had come out with one for gen 2 and gen 3. I'm happy I made this new purchase.
Sadly,,, I feel you are also one of us FEW who see the major difference in product quality...it will continue..
Apple will end up just another SLEAZY corporation selling CRAP to consumers,, based on Steve's good name...
I guess the dollars justify it when then explain it to their kids...
selling off all my apple stuff, ( stocks , etc ) before the sheep catch on
Oh my god, people are so ridiculous. Apple released duds worse than this during Steve's time. Remember the first phone with iTunes? The one with the interface so bad Jobs could barely figure it out while on stage presenting it? Apple will release plenty of amazing products in years to come, just as they have in years past, and sure, they'll occasionally miss with a few. Ping, anyone? If anything, this case is just a reminder that Apple is amazing but not perfect. No person or company is perfect.
There's a much better smart case and it's real leather if you like that kind of a thing. http://www.leatheripadcaseoutlet.com/collections/frontpage/products/ipad...
Ive wondered when they were going to come up with this! When I purchased my iPad I wanted more of a protective case that covered both the back and front which is the reason why I opted out on the smart cover. I love my incase book jacket though it is great and has the magnetic on/off function as well!
How can Apple allow such crap to be released?
The Smart Cover may be stupid for not covering the back, at least it works as advertised and it's stylish.
The new so called Smart Case is awful both aesthetically and functionally. And heaven forbid they even bumped up the price for another $10. Major fail.
The "No"-man of Apple is gone - well , we know that.
Well, after using mine for two days, I can't say I've had any problems with the front cover staying closed. I find it more annoying that it doesn't magnetically stick to the back of the case. I'm not saying the new case is perfect, but I sincerely don't feel it's even close to being as bad as Leanna makes it seem.
I find the smart cover getting in the way when I am surfing the net or playing games. What is nice is that I can easily take it off and reattach it. There are thin hard plastic covers that protect the back of the iPad which are smart cover compatible. I find the combination of the two works best.
Not one of your better reviews. Contrary to your emphasised assertion, the magnetic cover does work, albeit not as strongly as on the Smart Cover. The 'lip' is obviously there to absorb knocks, not unlike the original iPad case which had a similar rim. In fact most of the basic design, fit, cover opening, stand stability, etc., although not identical, very much mirrors the original case. They seem to have largely used the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' rationale. Basically if you liked the original case, you'll probably be comfortable with this version. If you didn't, look elsewhere.
That's my point, the magnet sucks and doesn't perform as well as a the Smart Cover magnet. I could compare it to those crappy refrigerator magnets that technically have a magnetic force that allows them to stick to the refrigerator, but are so weak that they slide down refrigerator -- and god forbid you try to use them to put something underneath them that you want to have on the refrigerator (like a photo or business card).
These types of refrigerator magnets are worthless to me. So is the Smart Case. If it's going to have a magnetic closure, I'm not going to pay $50 for one that only sort of works.
I also hated the Apple case for the iPad 1. For the same price, there were a countless number of better cases.
I read reviews like this specifically because I want a critical eye. If a product doesn't meet expectations, I want to know - even if it's an Apple product. The idea that Apple can do no wrong is foolish. Apple creates amazing products, but that doesn't mean they always get it right. I can't help thinking this smart case will be improved in a future design tweak, or maybe it's just not going to be one of their better products. Either way, this review told me exactly what I needed to know.
My review of this one had nothing to do with preconceived ideas of the first one. In fact, like I said in my conclusion, I was extremely excited about this case and was expecting it to be awesome. I made about 4 trips to the Apple Store in one day waiting for it to be in stock because I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. However, I did not allow my expectations and hopes for the case to cloud my judgement and give it a glowing review because I wanted it to be an awesome case.
I purchased the Incipio back cover for the ipad2 (iPad 3 compatible). Simply LOVE this case! Ports and buttons easily accessible. One side completely covering one edge, while the other allows for firm attachment of the smart cover. Even has magnetic strips built into the back to grab and hold the smart cover while the smart cover lays against the back.
Thank God I read this post. Seriously.'It really helps on Making the Decision.
Thank you for writing this review!
my god the lady cant even give a review she shows photos and she obviously enjoys apple products and if she is biased its in apples favor so i give credence to her opinion i was looking to get and and know not to but heaven forbid she dare go against apple she loses all credibility that is so funny... The apple over the toppers come running in to prove her wrong and say she must have a bad one or her pad must be different than all others.. It is a conspiracy has to be
I like it much better than Leanna, although I agree with her opinion about using the vertical stand. Mine fits nicely and the smart cover closes and stays closed with no issues. (I never liked the smart cover with no backing because it would constantly come off at the connectors.) It's overpriced, but honestly, so is just about everything with an Apple on it.
As for it being Tim Cook's "junk" and a sign of things to come? Please people. The original iPad case/cover released by Apple was absolute, overpriced garbage and if you'll recall, Saint Steve was still around then. So enough of that nonsense.
In my quest for the perfect case, I've tried a dozen of for iPad2/New iPad.
What I like is a case that is easy to snap on/off, let nearly the full bezel of the iPad visible (for easy swipe), add little bulk to the iPad, but protect it well enough.
I've not tried yet the new Smart Case from Apple.
But for now, the best two cases I found are:
-iOn Carbon Cover for iPad 2 (this has IMHO the best typing/viewing angles, different that the angles offerd by the SmartCover like).
- INVELLOP Leatherette Cover Case (very good price for the quality).
Sounds like the case in this review could be defective. There is no way apple would release a product that the cutouts don't line up and the magnets don't work properly.. Especially after seeing other reviews on YouTube where everything lines up nicely and the magnets work fine. Check out reviews on YouTube before making a decision.
imore should purchase another case and do a follow up review. I think you got a lemon that slipped through quality control.
Oh come now, you use a negative
"Is not stable as a stand"
The original cover is not stable as a stand why should this one be any different.
As for things like the mute switch access not being right, this is a sign that things are getting sloppy at Apple with Steve Jobs there, things are getting approved too easily in the rush to get products out and keep the shareholders happy.
i picked up my Project Red iPad Smart Case last night, it's still in the packaging as I'm iKlear-ing my iPad 3rd gen first... Then I read this post... considering: take it back as it's still packed... or try...
I figure I've 15 days... hope it is not too horrid...
Ok, just tried the case out: I'm using the Project Red Smart Case, and it works perfectly well!
There IS magnetic closure with that magnetic "snap" in place. As Alan said, it is not as strong a magnet, but certainly stays closed even held upside down by the body edges (not touching the top lid).
I'm quite happy with this case: every hole aligns well, even the hole-for-hole speaker area.
I just installed my Product Red version.. unfortunately this review is correct.. the case almost feels a tiny bit "too big" for the ipad... I can see light through the top of it and when I hold it with one hand the side seems to nearly "pop out" the ipad.. If it was a tiny bit more snug it would be perfect.. oh well :-(
As a work around for mine, I just used some cardboard strips to stuff in the bottom and the side of the ipad.. now its a tight fit and works like it should... but I shouldn't have had to do that :-(
Anyone seen these cases?: http://www.jwhulmeco.com/iPad-Cases-s/239.htm
Not exactly for the budget minded!
Wow, this was disappointing.
I have some cheap cover with a Bluetooth keyboard. Its fast and efficient, owing to the Bluetooth 3.0, but it sucky for protecting the edges of the iPad.
The Incipio is great. I especially like the fact that I can easily remove the smart cover entirely if I want.
New to the site, and came along to read this reviewer. As a reviewer myself, anyone who starts a review with the words "silently announced" is, to my mind, not to be trusted. I mean - how the hell can you "silently announce" something? Was there a bit at WWDC where they kind of just mouthed the words "hey - we made a new case for the iPad"?
Great site, fantastic articles - but this review? I will go into an apple store tomorrow and test one of these cases.
Lotta hostility around here over a simple review.
There are things at Apple loudly boasts about, briefly mention, and silently release. This was the last of the three.
That's it. No conspiracy. No apparent bias.
I know what it's like to be so fond of a thing that negative reactions toward it can be almost threatening but that's something we need to keep in-check to avoid justifying our fanboy reputations. Here's a good place to start.
And this is coming from someone who has heaped play of criticism toward modern journalism and this site, in-particular. (Not that you asked, but my current peeve is the ineffective anchoring when site is visited from ios devices, I click th comment thingee and it just opens the blog post. It doesn't take me to the comments section. I get tired of swiping like mad.)
The review is an excellent one. Like all products, some will like it, others will not. Leanna is not giving her personal thoughts only. She is stating the pros, and cons from a user standpoint. I totally agree, one size does not fit all. The new iPad, and iPad 2 are different enough, that there should be a different design for the back case. Some of the reviews coming in from YouTube are stating two common things. The case feels loose, and it is hard to open the smart cover.
When you are spending $50.00, reviews are important. I trust the iMore team to give me honest reviews. I do not always agree with them, but totally respect the job they are doing.
I can say with confidence that http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=376363&affix... is by far the best ICase I have had
I tried one on my new ipad at the Apple Store with the same thoughts as Leanne. Difficult to put on, take off, and open. It also felt loose on the ipad. Instead, I bought a Smart Cover and a Belkin Snap Shield Secure at Walmart. Together they work great and the Snap Shield Secure is really thin and also has a small magnetic strip on the back that holds the Smart Cover flat against it when it's open.
I always appreciate unbiased reviews but this was a terrible review and should be redacted. I'm going to pick apart some of the final points discussed in the "Bad" section:
Lid does not magnetically close...how can this statement be made? This reviewer loses all credibility simply by this statement because it does close magnetically. I don't care of it's weak/"refrigerate" like magnetism but it simply does close. As a math teacher, one should understand that the statement made above is an absolute statement (think of it as binary or true/false) and therefore, she is absolutely WRONG!!!!! Lol
Doesn't have a perfect fit...this is a terrible opinion, as most things are perfect...like this review. People should simply know that if this case was shaken by the flap, the iPad 2 our 3 will not fall out unlike the smart cover.
"Features" an annoying lip all around the edges...another terrible/uneducated opinion. Who cares as this was similiar to the case for the original iPad.
Is not very stable as a stand...works fine.
Cutouts do not perfectly match up...mine fits perfectly.
Cover is hard to lift (if not flipping upside-down)....maybe because it IS magnetically closed requiring a little more force to open. OMG. Lol.
What an imperfect review. I'm never going to read this blog again because of this "unbiased" review. Are you guys sure you are not being paid by Incipio? I quote, "you're better off picking up an Incipio Smart feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case."
I should back off a little in that people are entitled to their opinions. The thing that irked me in this review is that the cold hard facts are completely wrong and thus, my harsh reply. I too am far from perfect (ie typos and grammar errors), but if you can't get the facts correct, what's the point?
That's fair, so I updated the wording.
Having a perfect fit is something I care about. If I'm going to spend $50 on a case, it better look good. Does Apple allow edges on devices not to be flush because it would still "work"? No. and they shouldn't with their cases either. Design is important to me. Other case makers do it just fine.
The lip is ugly. This is my opinion. As the reviewer, I'm entitled to my opinion. No everyone will agree. That's ok. It's pretty clear that this bullet is opinion based.
No it doesn't. It's wobbly as hell and if I try to stand my iPad on anything but a perfectly hard surface. It falls. Including on carpet. I can use my Smart Cover as a stand on carpet.
Mine don't. I have pictures to prove it. Neither did the ones on the other case we picked up. Many other reviews out there experienced the same thing.
The Smart Cover has a stronger magnetic force and is not difficult to lift. The Smart Case is hard to lift because the main case is bigger than the lid. If the lid was the same width, it'd be easy to open. This is poor design.
I wish I was paid by Incipio. I recommend another case because people read reviews when looking to buy a new case. Instead of just saying not to buy this one, I offer an alternative. I genuinely think that Incipio case is awesome. My mom has it and I will be purchasing one for myself soon.
I bought one for my wife's iPad2, tried it and took it back the very next day. Very disappointing fit. Bought the Smart Cover and will rely on the HyperShield backcover I ordered earlier. Much nicer fit and good feel and only $8.95 on sale currently http://www.hypershop.com/HyperShield-s/189.htm
Jeez Leanna, how dare you voice your opinion and point out flaws in a product in an attempt to help others make an informed decision. What were you thinking?! /sarcasm
She reviewed the case she bought, on the iPad she has, and gave her thoughts on it. Those of you saying she's WRONG, well maybe the case you bought fits your iPad better, or the magnets are stronger, or whatever. That doesn't mean that what she said about the case she has is not correct. No need to be rude to a writer that put in the time and effort to review something for you just because you may not agree with her opinion.
I bought one, and it has it's good points, and bad points. The lip is designed wrong. It should be rounded, and closer to the iPad. The strong points are the four coners. The rest is loose, and can pull down, or off with ease. The cutouts on mine line up. The magnets on mine are strong. There is visible dried glue near the top, and bottom left where the smart cover is glued to the case. I am sorry, thet is just poor workmanship. There should be no visible glue at all. With slight redesign, this could be a great case, cover. One problem not looked at, when you wipe your screen off before putting up, due to the design of the case, dust, and dirt will gather in the corners. This will mean taking the case off to clean out properly off, and on. Another poor design. I have no problem opening the top, but being a guitar player, I have fingernails to grab it. If you have very short, it may be hard to open. I would give it three out of five stars.
Hello, Neat post. There is an issue along with your website in web explorer, would test this? IE nonetheless is the market chief and a large section of other folks will miss your excellent writing due to this problem.
hi!,I like your writing so so much! proportion we keep up a correspondence more approximately your article on AOL? I require a specialist on this house to unravel my problem. Maybe that's you! Having a look ahead to look you.
I've been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It�s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
the concerns in this review are a bit overblown. i bought a smart case and think it's pretty slick. don't have any of the problems described in this review. Does iMore perhaps get a kickback on Incipio Cases sold?
INCASE has a magnetic shell for the back of iPad that works well with smart cover to get a few diff angles, and access to all items is good. Magnets in case hold the smart cover on the back, and cover hold on front is the same as without the case on the back (well no worse than Apple engineered). Bad is same as any case using the smart over - vertical position is compromised because of thickness.. INCASE has no protective lip but that is of marginal funtion anyway - no help if the screen crashes on a sharp edged object
The smart cover is very nice,but $49.99 is too expensive. it is cheap at http://www.caseswill.com/new-magnet-smart-stand-protective-case-cover-fo...
I like the New iPad 2 iPad 3 Smart Cover Case - it's iPad Protector.
Slim and durable, is truly a natural fit with new ipad 2/ipad 3. iPad can automatically wake or put it into hibernation.
I got it from http://www.theideasforgift.com/en/256-new-ipad-2-ipad-3-smart-cover-case...
The color is just as pictured and the cover works great. The cover arrived much faster than the estimated date so that was a good start. And recently I have found another new case. http://www.eva-product.com/Super-Foam-iPad-Case-for-Kids-303.html It is for more lightweight and durable, I am very happy with purchased.
Apple's iPad Case is brilliant.
All the moaning about prising it open - if you were to just watch Apples demo you would see that the way to open it is to drag the cover across the screen, that is why the inside has a microfibres lining. As you open it , so it cleans the screen for you. Also I have no problems with any of the cut outs, they are all exactly where they should be.

Houston Astros 2015 News and Updates
5/5/15 - The Houston Astros have finally ended their winning streak, unfortunately. The entire league is impressed with how well the Astros are doing this season. This loss, against the Texas Rangers, is their first in more than two weeks. This loss brings them to 17-9. While Houston was able to reaches scores as high as 14 or 11 recently, they had trouble passing a single point on May 4th's matchup. The Astros scored in the first inning for an early lead, but that turned out to be their only point. They are still leading the league, but it will be interesting to see how they fare against the Texas Rangers in their upcoming two matches. Tickets for May 6th's game are still available starting at $14.
4/27/15 - Perhaps the biggest surprise in the American League so far in 2015 has been the Houston Astros, who have turned last year's lowly run into a first-place start to the new season. Currently holding at 12-7, the Astros own the only winning record in a competitive AL West division. Jose Altuve has picked up where he left off last year, racking up hits and stolen bases to help propel a dynamic Houston offense to a sizzling start. The Astros are currently in the middle of a three-game set with the new-look San Diego Padres as they look to build on their division lead with the A's, Angels, and Mariners all in hot pursuit. Tickets are available for Wednesday's day game at Petco Park starting at $15, but don't delay because supplies are limited!

4/22/15 - The Houston Astros are on a roll, with four straight wins. They lost against the Angels on April 17 in the first match up between the two teams. The Astros came back the next night to win 4-0, which made the night for fans as they celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Astrodome. George Springer and Robbie Grossman both had home runs in the game. The Astros have dominated the Mariners so far in their three game series that began on April 20. In the last match up, the Mariners were ahead until the Astros came back in the eighth inning with five runs, including three from Jose Altuve's double. The two teams meet one more time on April 22nd before the Astros head to Oakland to meet the A's. Tickets remain available starting at $24.
4/16/15 - The Houston Astros have one more chance to get a win against the Athletics in their three game series. The first game was on Monday, April 13, and the Astros lost 8-1, with a couple errors in the first inning hurting the Astros' chances. The sole run came from a homer by Jose Altuve. They kept the Athletics to fewer runs on Tuesday, with a final score of 4-0. The Astros out hit the Athletics 8-7, but they were unable to turn those hits into any runs. Brad Peacock retuned to the mound after being on the injured list and pitched for five innings. After Wednesday's game against the Athletics, the Astros have a day of rest before hosting the Angels on Friday for another three game series. Tickets remain available, starting at $19.
4/10/15 - The Houston Astros left their home opener with a 2-0 win against the Cleveland Indians. They were hoping to keep their momentum going during the next game on April 8, but unfortunately they lost 0-2. The game on April 8 got off to a slow start. Neither team scored until Carolos Santana from the Indians plowed a ball into home run territory during the fourth inning. Offensively, the Astros weren't able to pull it together all game. Aviles, from the Indians, exploded a home run in left field in the eighth inning giving the Indians the win. The Astros compete against their state rival, the Texas Rangers this weekend. Don't miss your chance to see all of the action. Tickets start at $29 a piece.
3/24/15 - With about one week left in the Grapefruit League, the Houston Astros have a 10-8 record, putting them in fifth place. They're on a two game winning streak, with wins against the Phillies and Marlins. With just four home games lift at their spring training field, Osceola County Stadium, you want to come out and see how the team is lining up. On Friday (3/27), the Astros host the Marlins. On Sunday, wrap up your weekend when you catch the New York Yankees. Tickets start at $43. Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays join the Astros on the field. Tickets start at $16. Their final spring training home game is against the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday (4/1). Then the Astros go home to Minute Maid Park for a Friday game against the Kansas City Royals.
3/19/15 - Slugger Chris Carter was the catalyst for the Houston Astros on Tuesday, going 3 for 3 with a pair of doubles and four RBIs to help his team score a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, 13-7. LHP Jeff Locke got rocked for six runs in his three innings pitched, as the Astros cruised to their seventh win of the preseason. They currently trail only the Miami Marlins in the Grapefruit League, as the storied Texan franchise looks to erase the memories of a woeful 2014 season. Houston will rest Wednesday before taking on the New York Mets on Thursday afternoon. Just a small handful of seats remain for the game at Digital Domain Park in St. Lucie—act now and you can still grab tickets for as low as $15!
3/10/15 - With one week of the Cactus League down, the Houston Astros have a 4 -2 record. In Monday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Astros L. J. Hoes had the only scoring run in the sixth inning. Colin McHugh pitched three great innings for the Astros. On Tuesday, when the Astros hosted the St. Louis Cardinals, the Astros scored four runs in the fourth inning, and took the win 7-6, in a close game. The Astros host the Washington Nationals on Sunday (3/15). Tickets are almost sold out for this game. There are more tickets available for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Tickets start at $32, but if you're considering taking the day off, don't wait to get tickets to catch the game.
3/3/15 - After finishing 18 games out of a wild-card spot in 2014, the Houston Astros have changed their roster going into spring training.

Tickets for this game start at $36. See the Astros' new lineup in action in these games and make your predictions for their future.
2/26/15 - The Houston Astros are well known for leaving nothing up to chance and it looks like that is not about to change. With the 2015 season right around the corner, ESPN has ranked the Astros as the most analytical team in baseball, not to mention the second most analytical team in professional sports. Fans are already well aware of the intensive number crunching that is always done to try and earn the slightest edge for Houston, and they recently hired a new nine-man statistics team. You will have a chance to see if their efforts are paying off when the preseason starts on March 5th. Alternatively, you can wait until April 6th when the Astros hits the ground running. After their home opening series, they play a few away games, then return to play six home games in a row. There's plenty of opportunities to see the Astros in action.
2/3/15 - Fans had a chance to meet most of the newest Astros players during the annual FanFest, which was held on Jan. 24. New additions Pat Neshek, Luke Gregerson, and Evan Gattis were there greeting fans, as was Jed Lowrie, who is back after two seasons playing in Oakland. The new additions are set to strengthen the bullpen and the offense, and new manager A.J. Hinch is ready to start a promising year. As the old and new Astros spend time preparing for Spring Training, the team just received the green light for building a new facility in Palm Beach County, which will be shared with the Nationals. This year, Spring Training for the Astros begins on March 5 against the Philadelphia Phillies at Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee, Fl. Tickets remain on sale, starting at $22.
2014 Season
9/15/14 - The Houston Astros are in the midst of their final homestand of the year! After being pummeled by the MLB wrecking ball—that is, the LA Angels—over the weekend, the 'Stros look to bounce back in four games against the Indians tonight. This 9/15-9/18 series is followed by an exciting home closer in a visit from the Seattle Mariners. These AL West opponents are on the 2014 MLB Playoff bubble, and just one game removed from the second and final American League Wild Card slot. See if this Texas squad can play spoiler for a minimum of $10 for all three games (9/19-9/21).
9/4/14 - The Houston Astros may have missed the 2014 postseason, but that doesn't mean they can't help paint the picture of what it looks like for the rest of the MLB! The Astros are now active spoilers, preying on unsuspecting playoff-hopefuls. Houston most recently stunned the majors-leading Los Angeles Angels, outscoring them 12-3 this week for a two-game sweep. That's right, the Astros just swept the Angels. See this club stir up some more excitement with Houston Astros tickets at Oakland, followed by Seattle and Anaheim. Score Houston Astros tickets for as little as $14 Sunday in Oakland, and see if they can trip up the Athletics on their own turf.
8/28/14 - The Houston Astros have certainly shaped up—too late it's already August. The Astros scored an impressive series win over the New York Yankees last week, and stand at 12-13 this month. The top of their rotation has been huge in their resurgence, with Dallas Keuchel and Collin McHugh putting up great numbers: 3.12 ERA and 3.02 ERA, respectively. Get your Houston Astros tickets now, because this team is on track to avoid a 105-plus loss season for the first time in 4 years!
8/20/14 – The Houston Astros may be hurting in the standings, but they're certainly not hurting on hitting! That is, when it comes to Jose Altuve, of course. With Houston Astros tickets you can see one of the top sluggers in baseball take the plate. Altuve's .339 batting average leads all of the majors, and he's on pace for 224 hits, 60 stolen bases and 87 runs—that's nothing short of spectacular baseball going on at Minute Maid Park.
8/11/14 – The Houston Astros have won two of their last three series, taking two games over in-state rivals, Texas, and three games over the American League heavyweights from Toronto. This week the Astros will complete their short homestand with a series against the Minnesota Twins, before hitting the road for four games in Boston. Houston Astros tickets are cheapest at Minute Maid Park this week; pay $12 to get-in for each game against the Twins (8/11-8/13), compared to the $23 minimum at Fenway Park on Sunday (8/17).
8/4/14 – The Houston Astros may be struggling to stay in the playoff picture themselves, but that doesn't mean they won't have a say in who gets to have a postseason run! The Astros stunned two major contenders last week, coming away with series victories over the Oakland Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays. See them continue to wreak havoc on unsuspecting contenders with Houston Astros tickets. Pay as little as $7 to see the 'Stros take on the Philadelphia Phillies this Thursday (8/7).
7/28/14 – The Houston Astros may have broken their losing streak with back-to-back wins against the White Sox and Athletics, but the victory momentum fizzled as swiftly as it came. The Astros are in a bit of a rut again, with five consecutive losses, and tough series opposite the Oakland Athletics and four games opposite the Toronto Blue Jays. Buy Houston Astros tickets and watch them against division-leading A's at Minute Maid Park for as little as $9 on 7/30. Astros tickets bump up to a $12 minimum on 7/31 and 8/3 when they face the AL force north of the border.
7/21/14 – Perhaps the biggest MLB headline over the weekend was the failure of the Houston Astros to strike a deal with the first pick in the 2014 draft: left-handed pitcher Brady Aiken. What's more, fifth-round pick Jacob Nix was also left un-signed by Houston, but that's a front office problem. The current Houston Astros players were busy shaking the rust off following last week's All-Star break. Though the squad fell in their first two matches, they made up for it with a dominating third showdown against the White Sox. The Astros not only avoided a sweep on the road, but they defeated Chicago by a whopping 11-7. The Astros will need all the offensive power they can muster with their upcoming road series against the majors-leading Oakland Athletics. Buy Houston Astros ticket for as low as $14 on 7/23.
7/14/14 – Things are looking positive for the Houston Astros coming out of the All-Star break. After a sweep by the second-place Los Angeles Angels, the Astros became the sweepers and took down the Rangers in all three games before dropping two to the Red Sox. Since the influx of talent from the Houston farm system, featuring George Springer, Jon Singleton, Domingo Santana and Kike Hernandez, the Astros are miles away from where they stood at the beginning of the season. Houston will be excited to hit the ground running in their first series back from break. Score cheap Houston Astros tickets to their series in Chicago at the White Sox. Pay $9 to get into US Cellular Field on Saturday (7/19), and spend a slightly lower $8 minimum on Sunday (7/20).
7/7/14 – The Houston Astros are currently looking to snap a losing streak that has extended to seven games. After winning their series against the formidable Detroit Tigers, the Astros dropped the ball against the Mariners and Angels. On a brighter note, the fans voted in Houston's Jose Altuve to the Midsummer Classic; his teammate, Dallas Kuechel is in the running to win the final spot on the American League All Star team through the Final Vote that ends on 7/10. Lock in

6/23/14 – The Houston Astros have been brought back down to earth as of late, dropping six of their last seven games for the second-worst record in the AL. Hoping to generate a spark, the club called up first base prospect Jon Singleton to the majors today. He has been awarded with a contract extension with five years guaranteed. On the downside, the Astros' No.1 overall pick in the 2012 Draft, Carlos Correa, suffered a serious leg injury—possibly breaking a fibula—while sliding into third base on Saturday night. Stay posted on 'Stros news and get your Houston Astros tickets today from Razorgator to see how these prospects do! Get into all three Houston-Atlanta games this week for a $33 minimum this week (6/24-6/26).
6/17/14 – This week, the Houston Astros will start a six-game road trip against the Nationals, a team that swept them back in April. Much has changed since then, as Houston's young core of talent has blossomed, led by pitcher Dallas Keuchel (6-0, 1.42 ERA on the road) and hitters George Springer and Jon Singleton. After the stint in Washington, Houston will travel to Tampa Bay to face the Rays in four games, the team they just lost a home series against. Buy Houston Astros tickets and see if these potential Rookie of the Year players can extend their noteworthy success!
6/9/14- Astronomical! The Houston Astros showed their talent on offense during yesterday's 14-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Watch the team take on Arizona today ($11 to get-in), or treat your dad to Father's Day at the ballpark with Astros tickets this Sunday. Get in for $13 on 6/15. The Astros also held first pick in Thursday's MLB Draft, selecting Brady Aiken as No. 1 overall, a highly capable and advanced high school prospect.
6/3/14 – First-base prospect Jon Singleton was called up to the majors and agreed to a five-year, $10 million guaranteed contract. Singleton is yet another talent to emerge from Houston's deep farm system and he will look to improve on the Astros' first-base contingent that ranks last in the majors (.181 batting average and a .561 OPS). Find out if the .544 slugger can help the team at the plate with Houston Astros tickets against the Angels. You'll pay an average $33 (Tuesday), $34 (Wednesday) and $44 (Thursday) as McHugh, Coasart, and Peacock take the mound (in that order).
5/26/14 – The Astros are 8-6 since May 11th! Most recently, Houston has won two straight after splitting a four-game series with the Seattle Mariners. George Springer hit the go-ahead two-run bomb in the sixth inning and the Astros topped the Mariners 4-1 Sunday. The outfielder hit seven homers in his past 15 games (including his last three) after failing to hit it out of the park in his first 19. The squad will look to carry their momentum into a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium against the Kansas City Royals. KC has taken six in a row against Houston, so this will be no small feat. However, with signs of improvement from the offense and pitching rotation, signs in Houston point to a win.
5/19/14 – The Astros had a strong showing last week, grabbing four wins and a series against instate rivals Texas and the Chicago White Sox. In similar fashion, Houston lost Game 1 in both but bounced back for wins in the latter two. Matt Dominguez hit a pair of home runs in Sunday's 8-2 convincing win over the White Sox, earning their fifth win in seven games. Houston's on the road for three series beginning tonight against the Angels (three games). Playing their best baseball of the season, they'll have to outshine an even hotter Anaheim team but it's certainly possible! Are you a displaced Astros fan living in So Cal? Grab cheap Astros tickets for under $10 to any of the games at Angel Stadium.
5/5/14 - The Houston Astros didn't do much to help themselves out of the AL West cellar during last week's homestand. Washington swept Houston before the squad fizzled against division opponents, the Mariners. Today, the Astros start on their four game road series in Detroit, looking to stop the Tigers on their way to six consecutive victories. Houston Astros tickets for this American League "David and Goliath" matchup start at a bargain price of $5 across all four games (5/5-5/8).
4/29/14 - At 9-17 on the season, the Houston Astros are still struggling to hit stride after about one month of play. They may have split four games with Oakland and taken the series over the Mariners, but Houston has a ways to go if they want to get out of the AL West cellar: the Astros have fallen 7 games behind division-leading A's and Rangers. The Astros will continue to play host through the end of April, welcoming Washington for two games and Seattle for three. The cheapest Houston Astros ticket for each series is Wednesday for $5 (vs. Washington) and Sunday for $12 (vs. Seattle) at Minute Maid Park.
4/21/14 - The Houston Astros are still struggling to amount victories almost one month into the season. They've tumbled to 5-14 on the year and are currently grappling with 7 consecutive losses. Still, Houston has a real shot at turning things around when they face the Seattle Mariners, who have lost 6 in a row, starting today. They'll need to build up some winning momentum before they square off against the AL-best Oakland Athletics this week. The cheapest Houston Astros tickets in the next two series are Wednesday (4/23) for $7 at Safeco Field and $8 Thursday (4/24) at Minute Maid Park.
4/14/14- The Houston Astros are still looking a bit rusty out of the gate, racking up a 5-8 record for 5th in the AL West. In yesterday's series-clinching 1-0 loss, Martin Perez and the Rangers shut out the Astros in eight innings. Next up, Houston will brush it off and play host to the Kansas City Royals before taking a road trip up to Oakland to face the Athletics. This week, the cheapest Houston Astros tickets come on Wednesday for $6 at Minute Maid Park, while the most affordable on-the-road ticket is offered at $18 on Sunday at O.CO Coliseum.
4/7/14 - The Houston Astros will be on the road for the first time this year, taking on the Blue Jays in Toronto and the Rangers in Texas this week. The Astros are 3-4 to start off the season, winning their opening home series against the New York Yankees, but dropping three of four games to the Angels this past weekend. Still, Dexter Fowler has acclimated nicely to his new team, going 6 for 12 with four extra-base hits; and, despite being sick with the stomach flu last week, the center fielder will be back in the lineup for the road trip. Get your hands on the cheapest Houston Astros tickets for their games in Toronto ($5 to get-in 4/8-4/10) and their game in Arlington, ($10 to get-in 4/11-4/13).
4/1/14 - Unlike most of the teams in the MLB, the Houston Astros won't be kicking off regular season play until later today against the New York Yankees. The Astros will be hosting the opener for both teams, with Derek Jeter's final first start of his career and Scott Feldman on the hill against Yankees' star CC Sabathia. Houston Astros tickets are still available for tonight's matchup at Minute Maid Park: get-in for $37 in the upper deck, wait until tomorrow and get in for $19, or see the final game of this opening series for $14 on Thursday.
3/24/14 - The Houston Astros are saying sayonara to Florida! The Astros will play their final game in Kissimmee on Wednesday and head over to the Alamodome to take on the Texas Rangers for a pair of awesome inter-state rivalry games. You can score cheap Houston Astros tickets when they meet the Rangers later this week, from $19 to get-in on Friday and $21 to get-in on Saturday. After that, you can catch the Astros in another fun pair of games before Opening Day. This Saturday (split-squad) and Sunday, Houston will take on AAA-level Mexican League team, Rojos del Aguila de Veracruz, at Minute Maid Park: tickets for both dates start at $5. April 1 marks Houston's first home game of the regular season, and they'll look to get things started on the right foot with a win over the New York Yankees (tickets start at $20).
3/18/14 - The Astros have named Scott Feldman as the squad's opening starter for their April 1 game against the New York Yankees. The Houston Astros will have their first "Opening Day" game a day later than most of the MLB, and tickets average an affordable $40 at Minute Maid Park. This is lucky news for Houston fans, as the typical Opening Day game ticket averages a steep $132! While their pitcher is on lock, the Astros are still uncertain at the first base position and are purportedly in talks to trade for Mike Carp, John Mayberry or Tyler Moore. Houston better make some quick moves, after all, there's only two weeks left until the season officially kicks off! Houston Astros tickets are still available for their spring games: pay $42 to see them against Philadelphia (3/20), $31 against Miami (3/21) and $48 against St Louis (3/22).
3/10/14 - The Houston Astros are welcoming Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan to the organization as executive adviser to GM Jeff Luhnow, owner Jim Crane, and Ryan's son Reid (president of business operations). The legendary pitcher resigned from the Rangers and sold his share as CEO following the 2013 season. This week, Houston Astros tickets are cheapest when they take on the Nationals on Wednesday (get-in for $23), and are priciest when they face the Cardinals on Friday (get-in for $52).
3/3/14 - Left handed pitcher Dallas Keuchel made a huge spring debut by shutting out the (previously undefeated) Miami Marlins 4-0 in today's Grapefruit League game. The Houston Astros have one of the best records in the league, now up to three wins and one loss to start Spring Training. Houston has an important game tomorrow against the Detroit Tigers, where they can seek revenge for Saturday's 1-5 loss ($29 to get-in). The cheapest Houston Astros ticket of the week comes the following day, in their game against the New York Mets for $16 to get-in at Kissimmee.
2/25/14 - A majority of the positions for the Houston Astros are up for grabs through spring, but there ones fans don't have to worry about. Second baseman Jose Altuve is one of the locked players in the infield, and is looking for his second All-Star season this year. After falling short of expectations last season, the young Astros team has been working on perfecting baseball fundamentals with a new teaching staff that should take the boys to the next level. See them clean up their game and get back in the swing of things with Houston Astros tickets! Astros spring training tickets are $52 on average.
2/11/14 - Former Houston Astros pitcher and three-time All-Star, Roy Oswalt, just announced his retirement from the game after 13 seasons, at the age of 36. From 2001-2010, the ace had more wins (150) than any other MLB pitcher, so expect an honor ceremony sometime this year. Astros GM Jeff Luhnow spent the last couple winters repairing a broken farm system, and we're about to see it pay off this
. Pitchers and catchers report in four days, and sluggers come in four days later. Join the Astros in Kissimmee for their first game against the Braves (3/2) for $15, and see them take a huge step forward this season!
1/27/14 - The Houston Astros made many offseason moves heading into
Spring Training
; most notably, the reorganization of the bullpen and the acquisition of Dexter Fowler from the
, which has people talking about putting a winning season in the books this year. The nearly all-new roster will be the latest attempt to get the Astros out of their three-season slump, in which Houston has consecutively finished dead last. Score Houston Astros tickets to be there for Spring Training and see if this fresh team has what it takes!
Some big changes have been made to the Houston Astros' lineup this offseason, and there's still more on the horizon. Houston has already revamped their bullpen under new pitching coach Brent Strom, with the addition of (finally healthy) veteran Jesse Crain, Scott Feldman, Chad Qualls and free agent Matt Albers. An experienced bullpen will provide the maturity needed to round out Houston's young 2014 rotation. The Astros also made major waves by trading off Jordan Lyles and Brandon Barnes to the
Colorado Rockies
in exchange for prize center fielder Dexter Fowler (and another player to be named later).
Catcher Jason Castro will be arbitration-eligible, and despite putting up career-high numbers last season, Houston may look to move him. Keep up with the Astros to see if they lose one of their integral offensive weapons! Last season was a disaster, after switching to the American League, the team went 51-111—a franchise-worst record—so there's nowhere to go but up. With this new roster, a winning season doesn't seem too far off!
2013 Season
3/27/13 - Hoping to promote the in-state rivalry between the
Texas Rangers
and Houston Astros, the MLB has scheduled the opening game of the 2013 season between the two teams at Minute Maid Park in Houston. All other Opening Day games will be played the following day. Astros Opening Day tickets are averaging $75, down $14 a seat in the last month. With series against the Texas Rangers,
Oakland Athletics
Cleveland Indians
, and
Seattle Mariners
this month – the Astros will be working hard to prove that they are better than they have been the past two years.
The 2013 season can be considered a new beginning for the Houston Astros franchise. Following a disappointing 2012 campaign, the Astros will sport a new logo, new uniforms, and most importantly a new division. Houston will spend their first year in the AL West where they will compete against divisional foes the
, Mariners, and Rangers. Most games in Houston are quite affordable, averaging about $61, 23% lower than the league average and 23rd highest in the league. With one of the youngest teams in the league, the Astros will look for leadership from newly acquired veterans Carlos Pena and Erik Bedard. The Astros may struggle in their new division but expect to see the emergence of young, talented names such as second baseman Jose Altuve and pitcher Lucas Harrell. With the worst record in the MLB in 2012, there is nowhere to go but up.
