HOCO Apple iPad 2 Leather Back Protector with Kickstand in Black
The HOCO "Exclusively Touching" line of Apple iPad 2
cases are all about combining slim design and function with elegance. Featuring a vintage full-grain leather exterior and built-in kickstand, this tablet protector lives up to the series' standards.
Pros
- Slim, lightweight design
- Nice genuine leather looks
- Built-in kickstand feature
Cons
- No cover and/or screen protection
- Slick surface feel
Overview
Though it has some unassuming looks, this leather case knows how to impress. It all starts with the lightweight and slim rubberized polycarbonate frame covered with vintage full-grain leather. Though truly hard to tell for sure when touching, it definitely looks the real stuff. The snap-on shell fits the iPad 2 precise and keeps it fully functional. When traveling, the design shields the tablet backside and edges against bumps, dings and scratches. Alas, the built-in flush-mount kickstand feature releases to support the iPad in three different angles for typing and viewing modes.

| 3.5 | Functionality Precise cutouts keep the iPad 2 fully functional while encased. The kickstand feature is a nice extra that acts sturdier than its flimsy feel would suggest. And the dual-collapsible design provides up to three angles for typing and viewing in landscape format. |
| 4.0 | Protection: During travel, this design will shield the iPad backside, corners and edges against bumps, dings and scratches. It should also cushion the blow of accidental collapses while in stand mode. |
| 4.0 | Quality It's hard to distinguish whether or not this is genuine leather, but we'll take HOCO's word for it. The brand has done a fine job matching the leather cover with the polycarbonate shell. Though the kickstand feels a tad flimsy, the Leather Back Protector could easily outlive the tablet. |
| 5.0 | Value Though a bit more expensive than the average back protector, $31.95 is a reasonable price for this quality HOCO design that also brings a bit more function along with it. |
| 4.1 | Overall: Good Though overshadowed by some other HOCO solutions, this one can still be considered a best case scenario for the iPad 2 user who seeks a quality back protector and some extra function to come along with it. |
User Rating
"Functional and nice"
Leather material cases don’t come cheap. Usually, that is. This HOCO back protector combines exquisite leather with great functionality. You can access all ports with the case on the iPad, and there’s a handy stand coming out of the back providing several angles.
