I ordered a Saddleback Leather Chestnut iPad 2 case after reading many reviews and watching several YouTube videos. I was drawn to the case because the reviews were overwhelmingly favorable and the design, features and appearance were unique.
I waited anxiously for the case to arrive and as soon as it did, dropped what I was doing a placed my iPad 2 in its new home. I marvelled at how well it fit, looked and felt. The leather smelled like a high quality pair of new boots and the workmanship was outstanding. The leather straps that secure the case are also used to support it when opened (sounds complicated, but it's not and works very well). The cutouts for the front and rear cameras match up precisely, as do the Home and volume buttons. There are no moving parts that might break off and the stitching used on the case is a high-strength marine thread that, like the leather, is extremely high quality and durable.
Saddleback Leather is a Texas-based company that appears to manufacture its products in Mexico from hides sourced in TX. I have no problem with any of this as Mexico is part of NAFTA and the raw materials and company are from IOWEUSA. And having purchased other leather goods from MX, I've always been please with the value proposition.
Perhaps the highest compliment about my case came from my wife, who owns nearly every purse ever made by Coach. She loved the look, feel and design of this case, and wants one for the iPad 3 she intends to order when it's announced. In short, I couldn't be happy with this heirloom-quality (they're guaranteed for 100 years) case.
