Gold Snake Skin, Hot Pink Snake, Gold Cheetah? These aren’t crazy super-hero names. These are the animal-inspired designs for the Case-Mate Versant case. The folio case is an exotic attraction in the jungle of tablet cases. Not only does the case give an eye-catching style, it also converts into a tablet stand for your viewing and typing pleasure.

Pros

  • Adjustable stand
  • Handy strap on the back
  • Eye-catching design

Cons

  • iPad 2 can slip out
  • Camera hole doesn’t line up
  • Expensive

Overview

If you feel that your working days have fallen into the same old routine, perhaps it is time to spice things up. Case Mate’s Animal Print Versant folio is packed with personality that is sure to make you smile. The Versant has 3 design options: Gold Snake Skin, Hot Pink Snake, Gold Cheetah—each one having a different type of eye-catching appeal. These designs aren’t for everyone, but they might just be perfect for an equally wild tablet user.

The case’s front cover folds back into a multi-angled stand that blends the wild jungle design with living room functionality. On the back of the case is a strap that allows you to freely use your iPad 2 almost anywhere. Beware though, the Versant has been known to not hold the tablet very securely, so there is a risk that it could slip out. The other drawback is that when the iPad 2 is inserted, it is hard to keep it matched up with the camera cutouts and home button. Over time this constant readjustment becomes a bit annoying. A good thing though, the case comes with smart magnet technology that puts your iPad 2 instantly to sleep while the case is closed.



Features

  • Animal print iPad 2 case and built-in stand
  • Stand offers multiple height settings or remains hidden
  • Attached gazing strap for easy on-the-go use
  • Includes smart magnet closures

3.5Functionality
Major problems here. Mainly, the iPad doesn’t stay in place when it’s in the case. This causes all sorts of difficulties: the case ends up covering parts of the screen, the camera hole doesn’t match up and home button is obstructed. All these add up to some rather frustrating tablet use. Really, the best thing you get here is a multi-angle viewing stand support.
4.0Protection
Even though the case provides protection against scratches and bumps, there is not much that holds the iPad in except for a thin flap. This means there is potential for the tablet to slip out—the worst-case scenario.
3.0Quality
Case-Mate always uses good quality material when building their cases and the Versant is no exception. Everything here suggests the case will stick around for the life of the tablet, and probably well beyond.
2.0Value
A $50 price tag just doesn’t add up here considering the case’s poor ratings in protection and functionality. The funky design is the best thing you get when purchasing this case.
3.1Overall: Mediocre

We all know that we shouldn’t judge a book by its front cover, but that is exactly how you take Case-Mate’s Versant. The animal print designs are funky and bold, but the case as a whole doesn't really offer much for the tablet.
