First off, this is the first case I have used for my iPad, so I’m not saying there isn’t a better case out there. For the price though, you can’t beat it.

I’ll point out one of the major things that worried me about the case, and that is the elastic bands that hold the unit in place. To anyone wondering if they do their job well, they really do. In fact, they hold the unit in so snuggly that I actually have trouble taking it out sometimes. They do their job, and they do it very well.

Another thing I was worried about was wether or not the front flap would have trouble staying closed after long periods of being folded back, much like the official Apple case. I have yet to experience it, in fact, I doubt it will ever happen seeing that the flap is weighted nicely.

Like the other reviewers have stated, this thing wont protect it from a pretty decent fall. It’s more so meant to protect from scratches and dirt. In that aspect it will do you well, I have no problem putting this in my bag.

I jab a few cons with the case though:

1. The material inside the flap has a horrible habit if collecting tiniest crumb or spec of dirt you happen to set it in and transfers it over to the screen. It’s not THAT big of a deal to me, but people coming from an official Apple case to this may find it aggravating.

2. No type of stand feature. I knew there wasn’t one in the first place, but it still would’ve been nice.

I highly recommend this case, it’s easily one of the better alternatives to the official Apple case.

When I got my iPad, all Apple cases, were sold out.

The iPad being newly born, I was aware that reputable companies that manufacture products to protect and carry electronics would not have anything available yet. I am talking about Norev, Proporta, i-nique… all of their iPad cases are only available for pre-order.

I wanted something cheap and fast until other products would become available.

This “CrazyOnDigital” leather carrying case is inexpensive and does a reasonable job, nothing more, nothing less…

As reported already, it has a synthetic smell to it, because it is possibly not real leather. Aesthetically it looks fine.

The inside of the flap is covered with “simily” velvet plush to protect the iPad’ screen. Mine had a bare spot, as big as a 1 cent coint, acceptable given the price.

The iPad is maintained by four elastic bands at each corner. The bottom bands are larger than the top ones. You can still access the “on” “off” switch at the top, the screen lock and volume switch at the right hand side.

The larger right bottom band covers two out of the three speaker ports. It does not muffle the sound.

The iPad is tightly held in the case, but longevity will need to be demonstrated over time. Especially with elastic bands.

The entire surface of the screen remains accessible;

Conclusion:

This case does the job to carry your iPad and protect the screen from being scratched. You can open the front flap backward and position it to hold it to watch or read. But there is no stop to immobilize the flap in position.

Alternatives:

I have pre-ordered the Marware Eco-Flip for iPad, because it suits me better;

-It has a unique hand strap which will allow you to hold the iPad.

-It has a foldable stand which will allow you to have a better position than flat on a surface.

I also liked the Tuff-Luv multi-view Napa Leather case cover for Apple iPad – Black which has adjustable stand and has nice leather, at a price though.
