My favorite iPad 2 Case
356781
We are a family with three young boys and two iPad 2's, one of which my nine year old has to have for school. We need tough cases that provide drop protection. I wanted to purchase the OtterBox Defender last year (I have always had a Defender for my iPhone and I love it), but the reviews for the iPad 2 version were not great, it didn't have a screen protector, and it was only available in black. We purchased Gumdrop cases, but my son's iPad was dropped a short distance (while inside the Gumdrop case) and the iPad screen shattered. He then tried a Trident Kraken, and the silicone tore, plus my son didn't like the clips at the top. He now has a Griffin Survivor, and it seems like a good, strong case.

I had been using my Gumdrop case, but didn't trust it because of the experience my son had with his case. Then I saw that OtterBox had created a new Defender for the New iPad and iPad 2's. It has been receiving much better reviews than the older version, plus it has a screen protector and is available in lots of colors. I bought one and it is, by far, my favorite iPad 2 case. So far, the case has provided very good protection. My iPad fell out of my purse onto concrete, and neither the iPad nor the case showed any damage. The screen protector works really well, and it seems clearer than the one on my Gumdrop case. I love the stand (the Gumdrop case didn't have a stand) -- it holds my iPad securely in many different positions, and it protects the front of my iPad when it is not being used. The only issue I have noticed so far is that you have to press the home button pretty hard for it to work, but I'm getting used to that. I love my iPad, and now it finally has the case I have been waiting for!

I love this case for my iPad.  I had one in blue and wanted another color.  I've purchased different brand cases for my iPad in the past and I would always go back to the Apple brand within a few days.  It feels good in your hands, it fits my iPad 2 perfectly and the cover can fold all the way back.  It's light weight and durable.  I highly recommend this product.

Was looking for a zippered case to protect all corners of an iPad2, and wow, this meets all the expectations and more! I purchased this a fathers' day gift for my dad, and he so loves it!

Nice professional, sleek look to it, and feels like a good quality case that will hold up for years.  Yes it is a little weighty, but it feels solid and durable enough to protect the ipad2 from a fall. I like the inside note pockets (perfect for airline tickets) and credit card sleeves as well as the pen/stylus holder. The option of separating the ipad from the zippered case is an excellent feature especially if you want to read without the bulk of the zippered case.

I would get one for myself if it wasn't for the added weight to my already filled to the brim purse, plus Im not in a corporate world jetting off to meetings where this would be the ideal tool. I think its a wonderful choice for someone who does not have anything else to lug around but the ipad2. This makes the perfect gift while adding needed security to protect the expensive ipad2. I highly recomment it as a business portfolio.

Btw - for those who complain about the velcro being on the wrong side, I don't think its a deal breaker, this case is well thought out, practical, and overall 10 stars if I could give it that.

I love this case! The version for the iPad Air was selected by The Wirecutter as their pick for the best iPad Air case, and so when it came time for me to get a case for my iPad Air 2, I went with The Wirecutter's recommendation (despite them choosing a different case for the iPad Air 2 for some odd reason) given that physically there wasn't much difference between the Air and Air 2. I've had this for almost six months now and I haven't had any complaints at all. I love that the magnet feels "snappy," it doesn't add too much bulk, and it has protected my iPad well.

I wanted a more unique looking iPad2 case than the tons of black ones that seem to be out there. This one certainly fit the bill. The case holds the iPad2 in place nicely with the necessary adjustments for the camera on the front and the back. I've had this for nearly a month, use it on a daily basis, and I've no complaints.

This is a very nice case for the ipad 2.  All the cuts are in the correct place to allow for full access to all ports.  It gives great protection from minor bumps without being cumbersome.  The color is great and the fake leather is really nice.  I have had several people ask if it's real leather. :)  A great case for a very reasonable price!

I own three different Belkin iPad mini cases.  This is, by far, my favorite of the bunch.  The case is relatively light.  I weighed it on my kitchen scale, and it is 5.1 ounces.  It is hard to tell in the photos, but the outside is a cloth material rather than the vinyl that many cases are made of.  It has a slightly silky finish, but still has enough texture to easily maintain a good grip on the case with my hands.  The inner lining is soft, with a slight velvety texture.  It seems soft enough to protect the iPad, but durable enough to withstand average usage.  The stitching is very well done, and the camera hole is nicely finished with a piece of hard black plastic around it.  In my experience, Belkin products are always well made, and this one is no exception.

My favorite part about this case is how the iPad is held in.  Some cases have vinyl or elastic tabs which obstruct the corners of the iPad mini screen.  This particular case has plastic tabs that hold the iPad in place, and do not cover up any part of the screen.  The iPad mini has a smaller bezel than the regular iPad, so this is important to me.  The iPad is held in securely by the plastic tabs.  I shook it (over a soft surface of course), and it did not come out.  Taking the iPad out of the case took a bit of effort of pushing the left side tabs with my thumbs, so I do not think it will accidentally come out of the case.

The case has three different viewing angles, which is helpful if you sit it on a table or prop it in your lap while in bed.  Or, you can fold the front cover backwards, and secure it with the magnetic clasp.  Unlike the other two Belkin cases that I have, the magnetic on/off feature of the iPad works with this case.  The tartan plaid on this case is catchy looking.  Either you will love it, or hate it.  I have the pink and purple tartan case, and it is feminine looking, and stands out more than most cases.

I've had this case for almost 2 weeks and am very happy with it. At first I was hesitant to purchase this case with no customer ratings, but so far so good.

First, I received the case a day earlier than expected. The packaging is typical Amazon packaging, so no complaints there. At first, the leather smell is unpleasant, but it dissipates quickly. It's good quality leather and no stichings are coming loose. The magnetic closure and sleep/wake functions work great. I've had to return other cases because the sleep/wake mechanism didn't work. It fits the new iPad well and I really like the deep purple color (not grape looking). The sleeve has a strap for your hand which was a nice unexpected feature. You get a glimpse of this in the product photo, but it's not very noticeable. The sleeve also has a velcro flap which prevents the iPad from falling out.

The only reason I am not giving this case 5 stars is because of the swivel back. I like that the case gives me the option to stand the iPad in either a landscape or portrait position, however it adds a little extra bulk to the case because it's almost like an extra piece (but not really because it is connected to the cover). But you can snap it off when you don't need it and your iPad is still in the sleeve.

Overall, it's a great case. And for the money, its better than other $40+ cases.

Pros:
Magnetic closure keeps the case closed and prevents it from flapping open and from getting caught on anything in your bag
Sleep/wake function works great with the new iPad/iPad 3 100% of the time
Fits the new iPad well and all the cutouts are where they should be
Option to stand your iPad in both vertical and horizontal positions
The purple color is true to the photo and is a nice change from the typical black cases
Velcro flap secures the iPad in the sleeve and has a hand strap

Cons:
The stand adds some extra bulk to the case, but can be removed when not needed

I'm very impressed with this case. Every port and button is accessible either by flipping open a rubber plug, or through the case itself (as is the case with home, volume and power buttons).  It does add some heft to the iPad2, but the protection is worth it to me. No issues at all with using the touch screen through the case. The flip out stand works well, and can be removed altogether if not needed, or put on either side. I like this case so much I bought the same series for my iPhone 4.

This is my second time ordering this case. The first one I purchased lasted me 2 and a half years of abuse, multiple international assignments in all sorts of nasty environments, and the iPad inside still looks brand new. I have also dropped my iPad on concrete as it slipped from my hand, gotten it wet from rain several times, kept it in dusty and sandy environments, and absolutely no damage to the iPad yet. I replaced the first otterbox case I purchased mostly because the rubber trim around the outside was starting to loosen.  This is the best case you can buy for the iPad!  I also love the kickstand feature and the fact that you can cover the screen witht the outer shell.

After recieving a ipad2 for Christmas I wanted to get a really good cover to protect it. I checked out the Smartcovers and loved all the colors they came in but didn't like that I had to purchase a separate back to protect the back from scratches. Love that this case does both. I love the color and the feel of the leather as well.

Speedy processing and delivery too.

I really, really like this case.  We've bought two of them for different ipads, and each one has worked well, been high quality, and exactly meets our needs.  I wanted cases that were as thin as possible and comfortable to hold for long periods, but could also protect the screen when closed or be used to stand up the ipad for videos.  We haven't been disappointed on any count. It's definitely the case I like best, and well worth the price.

Overall:
-------

The case has  unique two-tone design that separates it out from the competition. I love the color combination.
The fitting was just perfect for my ipad2. The ipad looks great in the case.

Material Quality:
-----------------
The quality of the material is great! It does not have the cheap feeling of many other leather cases in the market.
The material is comfortable to hold and textured to give decent grip as long as your hands aren't too moist.
The stitching seems really good, it's really hard to see where the stitches meet, and they are spaced regularly and follow the curves of the cover pieces. Everything is securely stitched together.

Fit and Functionality:
----------------------

The case also turns into a stand, and you can adjust the viewing angle. I think this is a very well thought out design. The craftmanship is the best I have seen so far. Turning the case into a viewing stand is a breeze. The design is so good that it was a pleasure to use. Fits my ipad 2 perfectly. The listing does a great job of showing various angles of the case.

Screen Protector:
-----------------
The cover came with a free screen protector, which is of anti-glare type. The screen protector quality is great. It has a matte finish that helps reduce the glare considerably.

Final impression:
-----------------

I have seen some other cheap leather cases selling for lot more on Amazon. This case for the price is a great bargain!
PERFECT.....highly recommended.

I've bought quite a few cases for my NookHD and this has got to be my favorite.

It fits the device snugly without feeling like I've got to take something apart to remove it.  It provides a good amount of protection for the device from drops without adding too much bulk.  Also it's one of the most sturdy aftermarket cases I've bought when it is used as a stand, I don't feel as if I need to hold the device when using the screen while it's propped up in this case.

It only allows for horizontal viewing angles, but I knew that when I purchased it.  The cases I've gotten that allowed for a portrait view have not been sturdy enough, but I'm contemplating one of the Dura Book line for my HD and HD+.

This is my second Poetic case purchase, my other was a case for my Samsung Galaxy S4, and I am very impressed with the workmanship and quality of the products so far.

I love LOVE love this case.  It fits snugly but does not appreciably add to the heft of the slim iPad Air 2.  I think of it as having the Apple cover on front, but actually permanently attached to a slim case on the bottom so it doesn't come off.  Highly recommend.

After extensive research, I purchased this Bear Motion Ipad 2 Case and could not be happier.  The leather cover functions just like a smart cover but the entire case protects the entire Ipad.  The positions it holds work for me for typing as well as viewing.  The textured leather seems very durable and scratch resistant.

This is my keeper for an iPad Air 2 case. The case works well in both landscape and portrait positions. The positions are a little more vertical than I like but not bad. The Pong origami style case I had on my iPad 4 was a little more relaxed in its positions than this one. That said, this case is lighter, thinner and just feels right. I also like that if I want to take a photo with the iPad, I can fold the cover open then fold the origami back to expose the camera lens. And yes, the auto-wake/sleep works perfectly. I have three different cases for my iPad Air 2 and this one fits the best by far.
