Cue the palpitations of GJ somewhere on the west coast...
No details of the contents, but they have been designed to double up as an iPad case.

Are they coming with iPads now?

Yes they have been around a few months now !
The contents are fine - all that you need. The rest you would throw away anyway.
What I do feel is that they have thought too much about the bag. If someone goes to the expense of buying an ipad then I do not think they will be impressed with the flimsy ammenity kit bag. Sure it fits perfectly but so what ?
I think the kits given on in-bound are far more useable - the contents are the same but the bag is half the size and at least likely to get used for nick nacks (whatever they are).

My ipad is actually in the VA case, I should sit in the corner now and continue blushing.

The purple UC lining of my first iPad case has already frayed and come apart - and I've barely used it!

Ha ha. The first one I got, the ipad would not fit in due to the zip being sown shut.... got the contents out although I had to wait to get home to cut it open and find my trusty iPad 1 did not fit ii)

the finish isn't great & i can't see them lasting long but mine is currently employed for housing all my various wires & adaptors that seem necessary these days.
I don't think i'll be running out of shoe bags anytime soon anyway

Aren't the bags made from recycling cheap pens of the sort that are now part of the UC kit? If so, I certainly wouldn't put money on them lasting long

What amenities do you get in the bag? I know on BA in CW you get some nice elemis miniatures which are fairly handy (moisturiser, lip balm etc).

Not a lot really. Black socks (no more coloured toes and heels), eye shades, ear plugs, a cheap looking pen,a flimsy toothbrush and a sliver of toothpaste. Oh and the Change for Good envelope.

Why is it when on my returning flight from JFK on the VS4 I only got a mini kit, no iPad cover..
I flew an A340-6 outbound and got the ipad case?

I think there is a smaller kit on the return flight than on the outbound

How does that make sense? I don't understand the thought behind that process.

neither do i - it's outbound for some - but that's how it works now. At least this way you get something different each way

It's just a different kind of bag on the outbound. A travel wallet. Same contents.

Why I don't think the UC kits are really what they should be in UC compared to what we have had in the past, I don't have the same quality issue with my iPad cover.
I use it all time when traveling and it's still like new.
