We wish everyone a happy and safe memorial day weekend. Looking out our windows we can see visitors are definitely arriving in droves for this kickoff to the season -- why not take a break from the traffic and stop by our stores? We've got all the best accessories. Dress up your iPhone or iPad for summer, or get them a new lifeproof case to keep them safe at the beach. Pick up some bluetooth speakers for great music on the deck, or get a pair of fashionable headphones to listen to as you make the most of the summer weather. And don't forget the AppleJuce cleaning kits to keep your devices nice and smudge free -- it's easier to read a clean screen in the sunlight!

We treat our demo computers here in store as carefully as we treat  our own personal computers (which is very, very carefully!). We joke that they are fed, watered and exercised regularly -- which is why we feel confident sending them home with customers. They're like new, and right now if you buy one of our demo models plus AppleCare, you'll save $100.

It makes sense that so many people are turning towards their iPhones as their primary cameras these days (and to a lesser extent their iPads and iPad minis). You have your phone with you all the time, and it has a better than decent camera. The built in Photos app on iOS gives you very basic editing options -- crop, rotate, fix red-eye and enhance -- but it doesn't allow the fine tune control you may actually want when fixing up those iPhone photos.

There's not a lot that Moshi makes that we don't like, and the Versa case is no exception. This looks like a simple, everyday folio case, but the lines on the front are a hint of just how versatile a case it really is.

The case has a smart sleep/wake function, meaning that when the cover is closed the iPad goes to sleep and wakes up when the cover is open. The rigid polycarbonate back protects your iPad from scratches, dents and dings while securely holding the iPad in case. The front of the case is made of microfiber, so it won't scratch the glass, and it folds like an origami into various shapes that hold your iPad at the perfect angle for viewing, typing or playing.

iCloud can seem baffling, which is why we offer classes on it frequently (and which is why that's one of the most popular classes we offer). Today we thought we'd talk about why we like Photostream -- and how it can do more than you are probably using.

Photostream pushes photos that you've taken on one device to your other devices. "Push", in this case, simply means that the photo is being sent from your phone to Apple's iCloud servers and from there to your other devices. So if you take a photo with your iPhone, it's sent to iCloud (over a wifi connection) and then iCloud sends it to your iPad and computer. On your iOS devices, it simply reads the photos from the cloud, so it doesn't take any additional space. On your computer, it will import the photos in so you can keep a complete master library.

There are lots of photography apps for iOS out there -- from Apple's own iPhoto to the ever popular Instagram, no one's suffering from a dearth of choices. New photography apps have to offer something interesting to even make a ripple, and Days does that.

Summer's the time of relaxation, of flip flops and the beach and invaluable memories that we use to tide us through winter.  The rise of the smartphone and the tablet means that we have more means to document those moments than ever before -- is your computer's hard drive ready? Don't worry -- Cape Mac's got you covered!

We've mentioned before that we're big fans of Lifeproof Cases, especially for Cape Codders who spend so much of their time on or near the water and sand. We've seen firsthand the results of an iPhone's accidental tip into the ocean, and we want to help people avoid that.

We've added a few accessories to our stock of Lifeproof products. The Lifejacket, available for the iPhone 4/4s, fits around your Lifeproof case and acts as, well, a lifejacket. Great for boaters -- a water proof case is great but out in deep water not a huge help if the iPhone sinks!

We've also added belt clips for Lifeproof cases -- a much requested item! Keep your iPhone 4/4s or 5 handy and at the ready with a sturdy clip.
