4.0 out of 5 stars VERY GOOD iPad case, May 22, 2010

Looking for an iPad case? You've probably seen the hundreds out there (I know I looked at cases for days) , making the decision tough. Not only do you have to pick from the bunch, you also need to decide what type you'd like (some are "book" style that hold the iPad, some are rubber grips, some are sleeves, some are cases).

I put my iPhone in a rubber grip case and after taking it out (6 months later) the back of the iPhone looked terrible - dirt got in, scratched the silver bezel and stained the back of it - not good!

For the iPad, as much as I hated to do it, I opted for just a sleeve. This choice has some PRO's and some CON's. Sleek looking case, doesn't "ugly up the iPad" when using it, doesn't interfere/get in the way, doesn't block the dock port.. but it also doesn't protect it when it's out of its case, or hold it like a stand. To me, that was just a choice I had to deal with.

Of the cases/sleeves I looked at, the Belkin seemed the way to go (some made the iPad as thick as a 90's laptop with all the padding, some had way too much space (letting the iPad slide around)), this one seemed "just right" - and it doesn't look hideous like some of them out there! One side has some additional stiff material to protect the screen (a great addition) and the best part is that it keeps the slim profile of the iPad. It's the perfect fit!

It has a pocket on the front to hold accessories - it will only hold some smaller ones (probably best for a camera connection kit and maybe a USB cable). I put a microfiber cloth in the pocket and it instantly bulked up the case quite a bit, so be aware that a lot of the size of the case depends on what you put in the extra pocket. The 2 zippers for the main opening is a great touch too!

On the downsides - the white padding inside is a bit odd for a black case, but no deduction on that. I wish the zippers had holes on the ends (those are great to easily "lock up" - either locking up both zippers together or to something solid like a desk (similar to how the locks on laptops work)). I'd also like to have seen some type of handle, loop, etc.. something to hold onto!

There are sooooo many options for iPad cases/sleeves that its overwhelming! I read...and researched...and got a headache! To make things more complicated, not all specify whether they are for iPad or iPad 2 or if another cover will fit along w/ this which was a mandatory feature I wanted.

I recently purchased the iPad 2 along w/ a smart cover, but there is no way a smart cover is enough protection when I want to transport my iPad 2 out of my house. After MANY hours of reading/researching all over the place, I decided to give this a try.

The price is VERY reasonable; the pics + description were most helpful; shipping was fast!

I really like this sleeve, altho I feel it is more of a case. It is soft sided w/ some padding, but no stiff support. It has dual opposing zippers, but they do not go all the way around the case, so the case does not open up fully = you have to slide iPad in and out instead of placing flat and then zipping. Not a problem for me, just didn't realize prior to purchasing. This fits my iPad 2 w/ smart cover very nicely. I also love the outer zippered pocket for me to carry my earbuds or charger or whatever I might want to take along. Neither the case nor the zipper pocket are large, so don't plan on packing a lot of extra stuff w/ this. Personally, I like this as I did not want a large case adding a lot of bulk to my iPad 2 - I mean, lets face it - part of the attraction of the iPad 2 is the slim, small size. Why would I want to ruin that by bulking it up?

The plum color is deep, rich, royal - LOVE it!

I must comment on the smell - there is a definite plastic smell upon opening. Might bother some, didn't really bother me since I had been forewarned and expected it (its not like a toxic green cloud is emanating from the thing) and over the past 48 hours, it has dissipated and now I only smell if I stick my nose right on the thing.

Bottom line - slim, attractive, inexpensive, highly functional protective case for my iPad 2 obtained thru an effortless transaction :)

Just got this and looks like it will meet my needs very well. The iPad 2, with a Smart Cover, fits in it like a glove. Good padding that will give me the protection I'm looking for when going to/from work, etc. I do agree with an earlier reviewer that the front zipper is hard to access because it's tucked into a pleat. But I disagree with another reviewer that said the sleeve is too bulky. It's just right if you are looking to protect your device from bumps and bruises. As for the zipper on the front pouch being hard to get to, I don't plan to put much in it so don't see it as a serious issue. As for the odor someone else complained about, yes, there is a smell if you stick your nose in it, but it's neoprene so that goes with the territory. I'd recommend this product.
