Different kind of iPad case
This case isn't for everyone, but so far, I've liked it more than other iPad cases I've used, like Otterbox, clamshell keyboards, or folding plastic covers.<br /><br />Pros:<br /><br />The leather feels and looks great, and will only improve with age.<br /><br />The plastic tablet retainer fits so well, there's almost no additional clearance if you use a separate stick-on screen protector, but once you manage to insert it, it's not going anywhere.  It's thin, affording access to the volume and on/off switch (thicker retainers can get in the way and impede access to these controls).  It's also sewn on instead of glued, a classy touch as well as more durable.<br /><br />Cons:<br /><br />The leather cover doesn't function as an angled support as well as a folding plastic cover does.<br /><br />It won't protect your tablet from drops as well as an Otterbox or similar design.<br /><br />Because the retainer fits so well, it's not practical to remove the tablet, for example, to use it with a bluetooth clamshell keyboard like the Zagg.  My old case was so loose, it was no trouble to pop the tablet in and out; that's not possible now.  However, there's no need for that now as I'm using a separate bluetooth keyboard.<br /><br />There's no magnetic indicator, so the cover does not wake up the tablet when opened or put it to sleep when closed.<br /><br />Overall, I'm happy with it.  I treated the outer surface with Brooks Proofide, a cream designed for leather bicycle saddles, which should help preserve it.
