The case is a popular folio design, which means you pretty much can’t wrong – it’s the perfect style for a novice tablet user or an experienced Apple iPad handler. What is special about this folio is that the front cover folds back to convert the case into a tablet stand for multiple viewing and typing angles. Plus the Surf Convertible case has a secure, slim fitting design, which gives good protection around most of the iPad 2 and iPad 3 while keeping it thin and sleek.
Features
- Secure form-fit for optimal iPad 2/3 protection
- Stiff folio cover for iPad 2/3 screen protection
- Animal-friendly and soft faux-suede exterior
- The cover flips over and catches the back to set you up for ergonomic viewing angles
Editor's Rating

| N/A | |
| 3.5 | Functionality: Folio cases are either a great first step in the “how to cover” your tablet or a perfect addition for the experienced Apple iPad user. The Surf Convertible case offers a bit of everything: multi-function stand, some protection and can be easily carried with you. |
| 4.0 | Protection: Like other folio cases, the protection is only decent but that might be all you need. The Surf Convertible will keep your tablet safe from everyday wear and tear, scratching and dings. It is not, though, waterproof nor very impact resistant. Dropping the cased tablet might harm it too. If you are looking for extreme protection, then Gumdrop Cases Drop Tech Series case might be what you’re looking for. |
| 4.0 | Quality: If you would like a case that is animal friendly (i.e. not leather) then the case’s faux-suede is a great looking alternative. The material feels smooth and soft but with a nice texture that gives a bit of grip. Also, it feels like it will withstand long-term use. |
| 3.0 | Value: Not being made from leather should bring the price down of this case, which Gumdrop Cases unfortunately haven’t done. At $44.95, this is over priced especially compared to other generic folio cases that do exactly the same job. |
| 3.6 | Overall: Okay Surf’s up with Gumdrop Case folio case for the Apple iPad 2 & New iPad 3! The Surf Convertible case gives you a reliable, versatile and easy-to-use case-plus-stand combo at an OK price. It’s great vibrant blue will have you wishing for your next vacation! |
