If you are looking for simple, soft case to carry your iPad in, then Capdase’s SplinShell is what you need. The case’s neoprene material cushions your iPad when it is in your purse, bag or briefcase. Pull out the iPad and you are ready to use it without any unwanted cover.

Pros

  • Custom fit to your iPad/iPad2
  • Top flap very secure
  • High quality material

Cons

  • No way to integrate with other tablet accessories
  • Expensive price tag
  • No protection for tablet in use

Overview

Cushion your iPad in this excellent new sleeve by tablet case leaders Capdase. This sleeve is particularly attractive because of its high quality material: Capdase’s ‘Breathable Cool Core’ increases airflow and prevents over heating after use. On the outside is a neoprene material that feels like it could sustain mild moisture or wetness, if ever exposed to it. These features give the sleeve its high price tag, which will certainly be a turn off for some. The sleeve does not offer much further protection against everyday mishaps or accidents when iPad is not in the case, but it feels good to use the iPad unclothed.

3.5Functionality
The advantages of the Slipinshell are in its simplicity—no extra features keep the sleeve streamlined and professional.
4.0Protection
The padding is a nice cushion, but nothing significant. There is a hard screen-protecting frame in the sleeve that helps out against bumps and shocks. Overall the design provides generous protection against basic wear and tear.
4.5Quality
Made from neoprene fabric, the case is soft and padded with a slight bumpy texture. The interior feels like a microfiber material that is a smooth fit with the iPad. Capdase’s integrated ‘Breathable Cool Core’ gives an edge to this case within the sleeve market.
3.0Value
At $55, this is a pricey product for what you get considering other offers in this price range. The high price is a result of the excellent quality of the Slipinshell combined with the Capdase name.
3.8Overall: Okay

The protection could be more significant at this price. The Slipin Shell Prokeeper is a best case scenario for the iPad user who seeks a cushy and breathable quality sleeve for tablet travel.

"Slim protection with great design"

on 2012 Jun, 8 by Gerhard Black
I just love the soft material of my SlipinShell. The neoprene used on this sleeve is not only highly protective of the iPad 2, but it’s also extremely nice to carry this case in the hands.

The clever flap closure serves its purpose just right: no chance for the tablet to slip out on its own, yet removing the iPad from the case takes just a second. The pocket on the inside is also a great addition to the case, my mobile and wallet fit just right in.
