The official Apple iPad Case is beautifully constructed. It is made of a very soft material but still sturdy. The iPad sits securely and tightly in place. The cover bends back easily and you can even prop it up at an angle just by inserting the cover into a flap on the back. The holes for the power, dock port, volume and headphones are perfect - no overlapping. I...

Video Review: iPad Slip Cover
Customer Video Review
Length:: 1:57 Mins
I prefer carrying the iPad in this than not, but you do lose some of the fun of spinning the iPad around, the cover forces you to interact with the iPad a certain way, more "book-like" than I think it should feel.
That is what putting a cover on it will do will do.

It is a quality product. Just not perfect.
I hope the video helps.

Dispicable company CAMSDIGITAL is, and even more awful is the fact that Amazon allows this product to be sold by a third party like CAMSDIGITAL. As far as this case is concerned however, it is the best on the market with the Apple logo. Thin and practical, the material is really nice as well. I would recommend it, but also recommend that you purchase it directly though Apple either at their retail store or via their online store where its available for $39.99

The official Apple iPad Case is beautifully constructed. It is made of a very soft material but still sturdy. The iPad sits securely and tightly in place. The cover bends back easily and you can even prop it up at an angle just by inserting the cover into a flap on the back. The holes for the power, dock port, volume and headphones are perfect - no overlapping. I don't have to worry about scratching the front or back of my iPad when carrying or laying it around. I only wished that it had a clear plastic insert attached inside to cover the face of the iPad for added protection from scratches and fingerprints when the iPad is in use. The case is also easy to clean. I used a wet cloth to wipe away some food I accidentally sat the case on and it came out looking new again.
One bit of advance. Apple recommends to occasionally remove the iPad from any kind of case when charging. The case may overheat the iPad and cause a shorter battery life.
At the time of this review, a third party seller is selling it way above the suggested retail price. I purchased it directly from Apple for under $40. There is no shortage supply so there is no reason to be selling it at such an inflated price ($94).
UPDATE 08/17/2010: I see the 3rd party seller is now offering your order to be fulfilled by Amazon (w/Prime shipping) at a more reasonable price, but it still does not beat the price of getting it directly from Apple.

It's a nice case and allows for the iPad to be propped up at different angles on flat surface for viewing (touching the screen without holding it at upright angles will knock it over unless you're very gentle). The case is very sleek looking and stylish, but the rubber it's made out of is very rough on your skin. The edges are especially rough and will eventually make it uncomfortable to hold since it will start to wear away and cut into your skin. After a few days of using it, I couldn't stand to keep my iPad in it permanently anymore and will only be using it for when I take the iPad out of the house for protection.

Because I read several negative reviews about this case, I had not planned to buy one. However, when I got my iPad from ebay it came with the Apple ipad case. Since I was expecting to not like it, I ordered a different case from another company. It turns out that I love the Apple ipad case (& didn't like the other one). What I like most about this case is how thin it is-- you could slip this inside your purse or totebag & it wouldn't be too bulky. I like the way its designed, particularly the way you can stand it up in various ways. All of the buttons & ports are still easily accessible when the iPad is in the case. The ipad slips in easily, but doesn't slip out as easily. You have to pull on it a bit. Its not a case you'd want if you plan to mostly use the iPad without a case, and just need a case for protection while transporting it. If you're going to keep the iPad in a case most of the time, while you use it, this is probably the best for that.
The price listed here of $50.84 is ridiculous since the Apple store sells it for less, but I felt like a review here should be about the product.

I don't know why Amazon let those freaks sell any item like this case double the retail price, we should not buy this item and reward him ,and I am sure this product is well made but I will not buy it from here.

Lest anyone be confused, I am madly in love with my iPad, even though I have been a Microsoft user, rather than an Apple-head, since 1984. But this is just a review of the black Apple case, not the iPad itself.
1. It fits the iPad like a glove. It does not inhibit the use of any iPad functions.
2. The wrap-around flap tucks neatly into a flap on the back. This gives you the ability to lay it flat on a 15-degree incline if you are typing something on the virtual keyboard, or enough of a triangular base if you stand it on its narrow end and just use it as a fancy iPod player. And the sound is great. Limitations: the iPad's only connection to the wired world is the single, multipurpose connection docking port on the bottom, narrow end.
This means that if you want to use the A/C charger, it must be laying flat on its back, alone. If it is sitting on the 45-degree vertical iPad table stand, the protrusions of the black slipcase make it physically impossible to dock with the charging stand. This is not an impossible problem, just an inconvenience.

The edges of the stiff material used to make this case end up being sharp edges. If you like to lie in bed with your head on the pillow using your iPad, you will end up holding the iPad in one hand and hand peck typing with the other. That's when the fingers holding the iPad will feel the case cutting into your fingers. It won't draw blood, the material is not that thin or that sharp. But it will hurt and make you wish you had found a different product. Nor does the "built-in" stand work well. The bottom of the stand is not really flat, so it rocks like a rocking chair. It's top-heavy so will tip over with a slight touch. I love Apple but this is a "case" of form over function.

This is by far the best case available for the iPad yet. I've read some of the complaints. I've had no trouble keeping my case clean and I don't find the edges sharp at all. It's the only pad that I tried that does not add a huge amount of extra bulk or weight to it. It's sleek, form fitting, and protects the screen when I'm carrying it around. This case holds the iPad very snug. Is it perfect? No. But for now it's the best one on the market & I'm glad I was finally able to grab one.

This is truly a great case for an iPad, but DO NOT pay more than 39.99 for this case. That is the List Price and the Apple store will have them back in stock soon. Also, Best Buy will be carrying these for 39.99 soon as well.
