Product Description

The Toblino 2 exterior is made of luxurious bi-cast leather with a soft finish to provide ultimate protection for your iPad 2. The case also takes advantage of the iPad 2's sleep/wake function, waking it up when you open the case and putting it to sleep when you close it. Inside, the gray plush microfiber interior keeps the iPad 2 screen free from scratches. Additional padding protects against sharp impacts and punctures, without giving up the slim look of the iPad 2. With a leather iPad 2 case like this, you can go where you like and do what you like - and look good doing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product -- Toblino 2: Napa Leather Case for iPad 2 April 9, 2011

The Toblino 2 Napa Leather case for the iPad 2 by Mobilevision is everything as described! It is made from real leather with a warm, soft feel; the stitching is even; the inside microfiber lining and padding appear to nicely protect the iPad; and, best of all, it arrived earlier than expected! As advertised, the cover does act like the Apple Smartcover in that it turns the iPad off when closed and then turns it on when it's opened. Considering this nicely constructed slim leather case provides over twice the protection for your iPad 2 (both the front and back as well as some of the sides) as compared to the Apple Smartcover (which protects only the front), provides equivalent functionality (multiple angle stand, magnetic on/off) without adding considerable bulk or weight, and is very close to the the same price ($39.95 for the Toblino 2 leather case versus $39.00 for the Apple polyurethane case), the Toblino 2 case provides more value for your money. Great job, Mobilevision!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than we expected April 10, 2011

we researched as many cases/covers as we could find for our ipad2, and finally decided on this one because of the stand function. it's great to be able to prop it up and play games, read, watch tv... not the best way to type but we don't type on it much. it looks much nicer than expected - looks very high quality. it's a tight fit, but not so tight that you can't pop the 2 clips off the side in order to prop it up on the stand. we love it & highly recommend this case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Case for the price April 17, 2011

Let me jot down the pros and cons of this ipad2 case:
Pros:
1) excellent build quality. The material is real leather and the inner lining is a soft microfiber like material. The iPad 2 looks good in it.
2) allows you to hold and use the iPad 2 like a book. The flap is firm (not thin and flimsy) and this gives it a feel of a hard bound book. Very comfortable to hold and read.
3) auto wake and sleep- this is an excellent feature to have. Closing the front cover to shut the iPad feels very intuitive. I am happy they included this feature
4) multiple slots for different angles
5) if you care, the case comes with instruction manual with step by step illustrations
6) All ports and buttons are very easily accessible. Very comfortable and ergonomic design.
7) Gives an overall good grip while carrying your ipad. The iPad feels very secure in it.

Cons:
1) adds a bit of weight to you iPad. This is especially noticeable when you are trying to use the iPad lying down on a bed/couch.
2) adds a bit of volume- this is to be expected of any case other than the smart cover.
3) doesn't have a designated slot for the ultra low typing position. The case allows a 30 degree angle which is still convenient but I would have liked the iPad to slide all the way down to the low typing position. I am hoping that over time the fold loosens up.
4) you have to take the iPad off the two secure slots every time you want to use it at an angle. However, I have a work around this- I never secure it in the two slots near the fold. :)
5) It would have been nice to see the case in more colors than just black(how about a taupe or khaki color?)

Other:
Why I would recommend a case in which the back side folds to allow the iPad into the secure slots in the front side of the case - vs. - The front side folds into a triangle to allow for the viewing and typing position:

1) when you want to use the ipad in a typing position on your lap (while lying/sitting on a couch), the front side of the case gives a very strong base for your ipad to rest on and be used. In a case where the front side folds up into a triangle( aka smart cover) it becomes rather difficult to use it while resting it on your lap.
2) the inside of the case does not touch external surface and get dirty
3) The volume controls and screen lock remain at the top in any position(typing and viewing). If you use the smart cover, these controls go to the floor/surface side in the typing position making them slightly difficult to access

In all honesty, I have used this case for a while now and I dont think I could have found a better case for the price. I would only trade this one if toblino came out with something exactly similar but much lighter. :)

Also, a note about the vendor- excellent service! The case arrived really soon( much sooner than I expected)
