Great reader and App, changed our business

I purchased an iPad and square reader to replace my old wireless terminal for my mobile business. I wanted to use the iPad as it would be a multipurpose device and is state of the art. I loved everything it worked great for my mobile business, I loved that there was no monthly fee as I was not accepting too many credit card charges. If you pay $50 a month to take credit cards this has no monthly cost so it's great and easy to use, plus has more features.
Only draw back is we had to take the case off to use the card reader, this was fine until we dropped and broke the screen. We had the Best Buy warranty protection so this was not a problem. However, to solve this no one would help. Very poor customer service / lack their of.
To solve this we found a special cable called "CellPay audio extension cable otterbox compatible". If you have a case and the 3.5 male reader doesn't fit in the audio jack then this is the solution.

What's great about it: Size, price, no monthly fee
What's not so great: needs extension cable for thick cases, dropped iPad taking case off
I would recommend this to a friend!

The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

I bought the iPad 2 for my business as I wanted to accept credit cards on the go. I also bought the square credit card reader and I have to say I was quite impressed that I could make my business so mobile and use technology so effectively.
The key is make sure you get a good case. However, Best Buy has a great warranty as we broke it accidentally and it was fixed / replaced no problem.
Only problem I had was getting the reader to fit in the Otterbox case. Finally found a special cable called "CellPay audio extension cable Otterbox compatible" for those that struggle. Plus it's works with our iPhones and otterbox cases too.
What's great about it: perfect for my mobile business, great warranty from best buy
What's not so great: Fragile without the right case
I would recommend this to a friend!
