5.0 out of 5 stars The gold standard, April 28, 2011

This review is from: Targus Zierra Leather Portfolio for Apple iPad 16GB, 32GB, 64GB WiFi and WiFi + 3G THZ023US (Black) (Personal Computers)

I have 4 different covers for my iPad 2 and this one is the best.

My major beef with the others was the lack of an effective pen loop to attach a stylus (picky, maybe, but it was driving me crazy). This model has a functional interior loop - brilliant. The majority of my iPad use is personal rather than business. At first I thought all the card pockets were not useful. I do plan to take my iPad on a business trip soon. I have an Expense Account app, and the pockets will come in handy for stashing receipts.

Ironically, travel would also be the source of the downside of this cover for me - it is bulkier and heavier than the Belkin cover that was my previous favorite. The Targus cover has a sumptuous soft interior that protects the iPad nicely. The iPad seats snugly within the hard plastic clips at the corners. The result is that more of the surface of the iPad is exposed, versus the Belkin cover where you slide the iPad into a sleeve; there is a leather "frame" along all 4 sides, and often the camera lens at the top is partially obscured when the frame slips a bit.

Yes, it's a bit pricey, but the Targus folio meets my needs the best. It is well thought out and makes a great home for my iPad.

I finally found a Portfolio to carry my iPad. Well, when the iPad is inserted into the secured area, the securing band covers the power button and headphone jack. So, when I open the portfolio and start to use the iPad, it powers off. This has happened multiple times in the first day. When I opened an issue with Targus, I received this response: "At this time, we do not a have a replacement designed case for the Zierra. Production design is aware of flaw in the design of the case. However, at this time there is not really any "fix" for the design." I was wondering why I was unable to find a web page for the Zierra. They must have pulled it from their site when the flaw was identified. What I do not understand is why Amazon continues to sell these acknowledged defective portfolios. Do all these other users not have this problem? This situation bring into question the quality of some product reviews.

Amazon refunded the product cost and the return shipping cost, which I don't think they usually do, but they are still selling the product. If there is a known defect on an item, and it cannot be fixed, why is the product still being sold? I just do not understand. I was given the choice by Targus of manually modifying the straps, or return the product to supplier. If I modified the straps, the warranty would be voided, and I would be out quite a bit of money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended for iPad 1, straps cover headphone jack, November 2, 2011

Looks and feels like a good case. Love that it has a stylus/pen holder and holds business cards. HOWEVER, the straps that hold the iPad in place cover the headphone jack and half of the power button on the top for an iPad 1 (see pictures). As Jeff mentioned, poorly designed... and I am surprised that Targus would make such a poorly designed product as they normally make good items.
