Apparently when Kevin Rose recommends anything - even if it's an iPad case - it becomes extinct immediately and is near impossible to get your hands on. Since you didn't want to wait six weeks for the iPad itself, why would you wait six weeks for an extinct case? But…

There are two problems with electric forms of transportation: it looks like shit and/or it's slow as shit. See: Toyota Prius, Mitusbishi MieV, Reva G-Wiz (the guy that named this better be unemployed). Then companies like Tesla and Zero Engineering came along and showed us batteries weren't just for transporting…
