Is the elastic sturdy enough to keep the ipad secure?

Hi, I have not had a problem with the elastic, but, I only remove the iPad from this zip book to use the camera. I really like mine. The leather is quality and it is under stated elegance. Hope this helps.

I would say yes, however, I use an ipad air so fits a bit loose in the elastic because it's thinner. It is probably made for a standard ipad. But I like the case enough that it doesn't bather me. I might ass some Velcro to the back to secure better. Hope this helps with your decision.

Yes it is for the older iPad models. I is a little loose on the iPad Air...a piece of Velco solved it!!!

Yes, pretty securely actually, its a metal clip, not the easiest to get on/off once in place, but that may be by design for obvious reasons..

VERY Sturdy! The metal will not bend without heavy force. The only thing that is annoying is that the ipad jiggles unless you secure it from the top.

Yes. The only down side was that there isn't a band or anything to hold it closed so if it fell, it could possibly fall face down on the ipad.

it is surprisingly sturdy. My mother uses it frequently for her Kindle DX, which is the 10" version, very similar to an ipad.

Apart from using the elastic strap to close the case, no. For the most part, friction keeps it in place, but it is not great.

It's not a " safe" like an otterbox, but I love mine. Yes it is a quality leather case that protects my iPad. Maybe if I threw it against the wall as hard as I could who knows. It is just as advertised .

No. Its pretty flimsy with just an iPad. one good bump into it can break the hinges right off.

I don't think I'd trust it with that. It's sturdy enough for an iPad or some papers and such but since it's only 'attached' at one end, too much weight towards the opposite side would not be steady at all. Good luck.

Absolutely! Bought the mini for my 5 year old niece so we needed a help to keep the iPad safe��

The part of the case that snaps on to the IPad is a bit sturdy, one needs strong fingers or a spatula to help wedge and ease the iPad in, I did it with my fingers, needs a bit of strength to pull and snap in the last corner after the other 3 are in place, once it's in it holds pretty good.

It is sturdy. Maybe a thick medium book, the size of an ipad, and a thinner one. It is somewhat padded on the inside. So it doesn't fit much. I use it to store my ipad 4 with protector and my son's samsung tab 3 on the inner pocket and they both fit perfectly with very little room to spare. Hope this helps!

No Not sure what you are asking, actually. We use a Otterbox to protect and prop the screen. Have 18 iPads and no breakage yet. Hope this helps.

It seems to hold the iPad Mini securely. We have not had any trouble with it slipping down, either in flight or with rough runways or firm landings.

Yes the band is sturdy; however with daily use the elastic band will start to wear.

I think so, unless you were really pounding away. The tray is covered with a spongy material so when I put my ipad on it and tap it, it doesn't bounce at all.
