I want cases to make the tablets holdable. I like the kind that trifold best.

This year I'm skipping on buying a new Fire Tablet. The 10" looks nice and a good black Friday price...but I just don't need a big tablet. I've been thrilled having downsized to the iPad mini.

However, there is one new use case that might make me reconsider. Using a tablet as a second screen. This works great with a Mac and iPad after the new OS versions were released. I know there are third party products that do the same thing and also support windows and android tablets. So a 10" tablet that I can use as a second screen for my Windows laptop...that might make me pull the trigger. Might. Cuz I can do the same on the existing 8" Android tablets I own.

I have a cheap tablet buying sickness

And I'm sad that my iPad mini purchase from this spring has usurped the use cases I used to relegate to my beloved cheap Android tablets (Fire Tab 8 HD, Walmart Onn 8")
