RatingDescription
4.0Design: Great
The smooth black compliments your iPad 2 design aesthetic while delivering a tasteful set up and protection. The black velvet inside is fashionable and practical.
3.5Functionality: Good
My only complaint is that the flap does not fold back completely, leaving an unwanted thickness to the case and making it feel heavy and bulky. Plus the speaker grill is slightly covered by Belkin’s fitted design, muffling the sound. The no-nonsense and intuitive design makes this an extremely simple and protective case while doubling as a stand. The only drawback for use is that you cannot stand it up in portrait mode.
3.5Protection: Good
Nice soft inside keeps your display scratch-free while durable exterior will absorb bumps and minor drops.
4.5Quality: Amazing
If Belkin’s name doesn’t convince you its quality, then you will feel it once this case is in your hands: durable and delicate giving what you should demand for you iPad 2 investment.
3.5Value: Good
This case is right up there in terms of value—very few other name brands can offer you the quality and multi-functionality as Belkin’s Verve Folio stand.
3.8Overall: Good

Excellent value for a useful product by a reputable brand giving you both a book case and a stand. Although there are certainly drawbacks, they will not impede your iPad 2 enjoyment, do harm to your tablet or fail in its intended purpose..

"Familiar brand in a new function"

on 2012 Jan, 29 by Rob_Jennings
I’m a big fan of Belkin product ever since I got my first iPod and bought an FM transmitter and a car-charger from Belkin. I’m on my fourth iPod right now, but both Belkin accessories are still with me and still work perfectly fine.

When the time came to choose a case for my iPad 2, I first took a look whether Belkin made them and found this great combination of folio and stand case. The case is extremely functional: not only it keeps my tablet safe and sound, but it also offers a multitude of viewing opportunities thanks to the stand options.

The elastic band, which keeps the case shut, is genius – it’s a great bonus to the classy design and a very useful feature on its own. The case might not be on the cheaper side of things, but it’s a Belkin, and that really has some value.
