PAYG mobile broadband

I have an iPad with an empty SIM card slot. I don't want to rack up a lot of data charges though - really I just want to be able to pick up and reply to business email when out and about. Web surfing can wait for home, or a wifi-equipped cafe.

I've had a go at looking over the various networks' websites but frankly their offerings seem designed to confuse, or at the least to push bundles that I neither need nor want.

Can anyone help me strip back all the marketing and identify who has the best deal, and how much it's going to cost me?

Having checked network coverage maps against my most regular haunts (remember I live in rural nowhere-shire, so 3G coverage is not guaranteed), Orange seems to be the best, followed by Three. Coverage is a significant factor in all of this.

Anyone got any ideas?

And, while we're at it, recommendations for a decent affordable case with good protection?

Yes, I know, I want the moon on a stick. But you lot are so giving.
