I am looking to get one of these. (A Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 – 7.0) to replace my original nook. I would prefer to do it with as little out of pocket as possible (I did an iPad 2 and accessories for less than $50 out of pocket this way, so pay close attention!)

I made an account with YourFreeTabletPC.com. The short version of how this works is that you do one trial offer (Free or Cheap) and get a few friends to complete an offer, they get paid by the advertisers, you get your reward (gift card or tablet) – and everyone is happy. I have a more detailed explanation here…

It is legit.

They have paid out for me 3 times already (iPod Touch, iPhone 4, and iPad 2).

The iPad2 was really a blessing. My wife and kids are making great use of it in homeschooling . I am amazed what is now available to them on a slab of glass, aluminum and silicon.

If you want to know more about how this works or have questions, visit the explanation, comment below, or click here to get started!

I won a Griffin/Crayola Trace and Draw case for the iPad 2 from iMore. I received it about 2 weeks ago, and my kids love it! It is large and gives them good grips. Here are some of my other thoughts about the product in no particular order:

•  I am leery of the idea of a child using a marker on an iPad, period. An iPad 2 is a rather large chunk of change in my book, so we “failed to tell” my kids about that app/feature
•  It does offer a decent amount of protection, but it is not an Otterbox/Gumdrop grade case. But the price is also substantially lower.
•  They made the ports fairly accessible, once you realize that the pull-out trays at each end give you more clearance
•  Be careful sliding on and off. you can peel up a thick screen protector like a ZAGG Shield…
•  I love the ease of removing the case to shift to a more “Adult-Friendly” case. (Almost makes me want to walk into a meeting with it on, and see what happens… But don’t try it!)
• It really is a kid-appealing design. It looks very nice with a white iPad2.

The answer is yes, but with some conditions…

1. You have to do your homework. Read Reviews. Not all are created equal. None really have a great reputation, but some better than others. (I’ll get to the why on that in if you keep reading)

2. You have to jump through the hoops. Read the terms and conditions carefully. Decide whether they are worth doing for the “free” item. A site that may be totally worth it to you, may not be worth it to me.

3. You have to follow the rules. There are all kinds of videos for “hacks” for certain free sites. All you will do is get yourself kicked off the site. Besides, if you simply follow the rules, you get your reward, they get their money, and everyone is happy.

4. If you like a network of sites, stick with it. No sense in relearning everything.

5. Start small. Start with something that takes a few referrals (maybe 5-8), instead of going for that loaded out iPad 2 32GB +3G that is going to be 12 referrals or more. Get a feel for it and you will be less frustrated.

6. Have fun with it!!

All that said, sometimes stuff happens. An email gets lost, a form disappears. You may have some frustration, but be patient. The people at the company are just doing their job. Just keep in mind that you are getting something (usually big) for free or cheap, and in the grand scheme of things, a week or two is not a huge deal.

Want to give it a try? You can start here.

I am getting the Apple Store card, so that I can purchase a refurbished unit and be able to get a couple useful accessories. I will update when the card comes in. should be roughly 2 weeks, plus Apple’s shipping time on the iPad.

No you may be saying – “Man I wish I could have gotten in on something like this”. You are in luck. You can still go to Here and choose the Android Tablet Link, and choose from a few options, including an Asus Transformer Android Tablet. You can do this. It’s easy. If you have any questions, I’ll be glad to answer them.

Go Get Yourself a Free Tablet….
