You don’t want to carry it this way.

iPad apps are inconsistent and have low feature discoverability, with frequent user errors due to accidental gestures. An overly strong print metaphor and weird interaction styles cause further usability problems.

I hit the problems he mentions all the time with my iPad. Sometimes you press on, say, a link, and you get a menu, other times something pops up, other times, a different menu, and still other times nothing happens.

Also, don’t even think of using one without a case. Not so much to protect it, but to keep your paws off the screen to hold it. Hold a bare iPad for long, and your fingers will take you many unexpected web or app places.
