Thanks to the lightweight design and slim features, your iPad is easy enough for someone to steal if you leave it unattended even for a minute.

Maclocks.com brings you a solution to this problem. It's called The iPad Lock. The iPad Lock is a security cable lock for your iPad that is designed to keep thieves from walking by your desk or table and taking off with your iPad. Maclocks.com mentions the following about this security measure on their website:

The first component of the patent-pending iPad Lock is a hard, clear plastic case you can leave on for everyday protection. And since the iPad has no security slot, the case has one built in. That way you can lock the security cable to the case, and loop the cable’s other end around a fixed object (like a table). Once the case and cable are locked together, thieves can’t detach the case without damaging the iPad.

Likewise, the strong steel cable will discourage any thief. Weighing less than one pound, the cable is extremely sleek and its lock-head has the smallest diameter of any computer lock in the world.

It does make me a little bit concerned that they mention that a thief can't detach the case without damaging the iPad. If the person will stoop low enough to try and steal an iPad I don't think they would mind too much if there is some damage because they had to crack the case to detach it from the lock. However, if you are in a coffee shop or at work there probably wouldn't be enough time for them to crack the case without someone noticing.

All in all I would say if you spend a lot of time in crowded places with your iPad and you can't always have it in your possession that the iPad Lock is worth the money to protect your larger investment. You can purchase the iPad Lock from the Maclocks.com website. You can buy the iPad Lock and security case as a bundle for $74.95.
