This is my third iPad case-related purchase. It's the best one.

Background:

The day I bought my iPad at the Apple Store, about four days after the WIFI versions were first released, the Apple Store had three cases (none of them the Apple-branded one): they had Belkin, and two versions of InCase. I asked the Genius (or maybe he was only a subgenius, since he was working the floor) to open the more expensive InCase case and realized it didn't cover the front of the iPad which it inferred on the packaging, so for $10 less bought the lesser InCase rubber/silicone shell.

At home my wife and I both decided the flat boxy shape of that shell didn't hug the iPad tightly enough and it was almost as heavy. We returned it for a refund a week later since the Apple Store still had no other options at that time.

Next up I bought a hard shell case with a "free" screen protector from [...]. They said it was 35.99 marked down to 19.99 and showed a photo of someone twisting it as if the sleeve/case was fully flexible. Several people gave it good reviews on their site.

The screen protector was in packaging that said it was an "LCD laptop screen protector" with a new label slapped over the packaging stating it was for iPad. The shell case did not have a sealed package just a used plastic bag over it. The case did not fit my iPad and was not flexible. I returned it, again for a refund, though the company emailed me they would send out another if I wanted. They also called me later and reiterated the offer but I took the refund.

I then found this miniSuit case on Amazon and it was in stock. There were other cases that looked like they MIGHT be good, but at 39.99 and above. And most were not in stock. I bought the miniSuit black case with black silicone shell.

The rubber shell is silicone similar to the case I bought for my iPod Touch over a year ago. It fits snugly and is lightweight.

The LCD screen protector is similar to the one that Handhelditems offered. Unfortunately it was a problem since the instructions on the package were for a different protector - the one included had two tabs and both sides were sticky - I pulled the cover down as instructed and it stuck to the iPad so I assumed I had the correct side. It stuck on nicely but when I pulled off the cover to the top side it was "sticky-er." I had to pull the whole protector off and throw it away. I plan to purchase an anti-glare protector to use outside so this was not a deal breaker. If I had guessed the stickier side correctly I probably would have left it on and not even made this observation.

The small neoprene case fits the iPad (with silicone shell on) tightly but with enough room to also insert the white padded foam filler they used in shipping. You could place it over the iPad's screen for extra protection in the case (if you want to). The case has an outside zippered pocket that my stand, my microfiber cleaning cloth and Pogo stylus (recommended for Art Studio or other art apps) fits in. The case also has two elastic bands on the inside corners to hold the iPad, though they are not necessary. There is also a small miniSuit cleaner pad that can be attached to the zipper of the case or put in the pocket, and the screen protector also includes a standard small eyeglasses cleaning cloth.

For the price, relative to what else was shipping when I bought it, it is an excellent product.

Great cover and case for the new iPad! I got my iPad last Sat. And my Mini Suit case this Sat. The purple silicon sleeve slid right on my iPad and it makes it much nicer to hold in my hands. Very nice deep purple case too with two ways to keep the iPad in it, elastic straps and a neoprene slot, plus the added zipper outside pocket gives me a place to put my earphones, screen wipe, and other little extras.

I had ordered a blue skin and neoprene case, as I did not see a purple color offered when I ordered my accessory bundle. I emailed Minisuit just after I was notified that my bundle was being shipped, inquiring whether I could change my color choice from blue to purple. To my pleasant surprise, I received a prompt reply from their customer service department informing me that they were able to pull by order just before shipment and exchange it for a purple bundle. The delivery was completed 4-5 days later. The purple neoprene case, silicone skin, screen protector, and LCD cleaner (which is very small and easy to overlook as just a zipper lanyard/decoration) were exactly what I had hoped for. I have not received my iPad, yet. But, I fully anticipate that all the items in the bundle will fit properly. The items do seem well made. Also, rather than purchase these items separately for a greater cost, the accessory bundle includes everything you will need to protect your precious iPad at a nice cost savings. I would do business with this company again and will look for any other new products that they may bring to market.

This was a great buy! No where did I find a price that included all these items. My iPad fits perfectly into the skin and the case. It took a little effort to smooth out the screen protector, but it now looks good. The case has a zippered pocket on the outside. The color is vibrant, but not offensive. I selected the purple package. I would recommend this to everyone!

The skin was very easy to place on the ipad and had a great soft feel. The sleeve was a perfect size and could fit the ipad with the skin on it.

The Good:
The neoprene slim cloth case works great.

The Bad:
The protective screen produces 100o bubbles and will not go away.
The Silicon Rubber, while fits snuggly, doesn't like the iPad being taken out too many times. I had gotten a iPad dock-keyboard and i had to take out the silicon case to dock it. After a short 3 days you start
to notice that the thinner parts of the silicon do not want to hang on to the edges of the iPad. My girlfriend described it as a warn out rubber.

My Suggestion: Get the neoprene case only and then speed a couple of bucks on a Speck hard-shell case.

Excellent product for the price. The skin fits IPad well and easy to install. Makes holding the ipad feel secure. The sleeve case is easy to open & close. The straps hold the IPad in so it can be used like a book cover. May buy another set in a different color.

I had been recommending this as the best bargain in Ipad cases until the zipper broke. The tight-fitting case works well and gives some basic protection, but the neoprene sleeve's corners were always a little tight and the cheap plastic zipper only lasted a month. I liked the look and feel of this case until it broke. Trying another case that is perhaps better constructed this time.

I've had my iPad for a month now and got tired of trying to find an Apple iPad case without getting ripped off on those eBay sellers.

Read the reviews here and saw this case has a pretty sweet deal. Not the best quality case mind you, if you're looking for something with quality you'll be dishing out $50+ and still be disappointed, this is your typical product you buy at a kiosk in the mall. So don't expect anything fancy.

Inexpensive and does the job. I'll still be getting me better case when something decent comes out or my Apple store finally gets more cases!

I searched high and low for a purple iPad cover & I really liked the color of this one. I don't feel like the iPad will slip and fall down when I set it down. The cover makes it easier to grip. I love the zippered case as well but I almost wish there was a strap for it. I have not used the screen guard as my husband keeps telling me they are worthless. I will still probably try it out eventually because I can't stand all the finger prints my iPad gets. This is an awesome product at a great price!
