The “Koat” folio case by Capdase is red hot in more ways than one. The exterior has a high quality sleek black design while the interior is made from memory foam for protecting your iPad. Unzip the case all the way to use your tablet or pull it out and enjoy case-free. Don’t forget about the storage pocket too.

Pros

  • iPad can be used while in sleeve
  • Can easily remove the iPad
  • Soft velvet interior material

Cons

  • Adds some unwanted thickness to the tablet
  • No shoulder strap
  • Pocket room is tight

Overview

This case isn’t any ordinary case but doubles as a fashion accessory. The stylish black sleeve “Koat” is another great item in Capdase’s mKeeper series. Suited for both the iPad and iPad2, this zipped-folio is superbly designed with grade A material and attention to detail in the stitching. A great part of this case is that you can use the iPad when folio is fully unzipped—a nice feature that other Capdase sleeves lack. The outer layer looks and feels like polished faux leather with a long-lasting black zipper that compliments the yellow exterior. On the interior, the case has memory foam that hugs your iPad—excellent shock-absorption if ever dropped. Plus, there’s an extra, thin pocket for storing a cable or document.

RatingDescription
N/A
3.5 0Functionality:
“Koat” is an innovative folio that allows you to use the iPad without taking it out completely. The pocket is very tight, however, and is more decorative than functional. Plus the handle does not retract like other Capdase sleeves.
4.5Protection:
The “Koat” will no doubt protect your tablet from small drops and bumps. The memory foam gives this folio a leg up against the competitors. Plus, the reinforced edges make sure that the case’s corners remain sturdy for a long time.
4.5Quality:
Top quality folio here. Smoothly closing zipper, reinforced edges, great exterior material, microfiber interior—Capdase affirms its reputable name.
3.0Value:
Though Capdase has put a high price tag on this folio model—but $55 gets you a fashionable, high quality design with some added extra protection.
3.8Overall: Good

Capdase’s standout design makes this black case a fashionable compliment to the Apple iPad. Not only that, it also gives great protection because of its memory foam interior

"Looks and function at a low price"

on 2011 Dec, 21 by Jack Burns
Finding Capdase Koat for my iPad 2 was the best thing that ever happened to me. I’ve been searching for a decent case with a handle for quite some time now. All the other cases I looked at were either too expensive or too simple for my taste. Koat is just what I’ve been looking for.

It looks like an expensive accessory with its sleek glossy design, but at $55 it’s a really affordable case. And it’s perfect for my tablet. The insides are made of some kind of foam material, which is thick enough to minimize impact damage so I no longer worry about carrying it through a crowd or accidentally dropping it.

The zipper closure is a godsend – I can reach for my iPad 2 in virtually no time, and when I don’t need it, the tablet tucked away safely inside the case. And what’s most important – I can easily remove the tablet from the Koat when I need it or I can just open the case and access the screen while the iPad is inside.

The pocket on the back side is really tiny, but it fits my cell phone and even the charging cable, so I’m not complaining. I want to thank you guys for pointing me to this case. It is a great find and I’m sure I will enjoy it for as long as my iPad 2 stays functional.
