If genuine leather cases are beyond your pay-grade, then this generic brand tablet folding case may be the solution you have been looking for. Made of polyurethane material that has the feel and look of black grained-leather, this magnetic tablet case can present your iPad 2 with an elegant business-class style to impress your colleagues and/or the senior corporate partners.

Pros

  • Access to all external ports and camera
  • Material has the feel/look of genuine leather
  • Very lightweight and trim design

Cons

  • Cover magnets have minimal effectiveness
  • Noticeable creases and wrinkles
  • No brand label for quality reassurance

Overview

Whether you view the glass to be half-empty or half-full, this tablet folding case may or may not be considered to have some design flaws. For instance, the internal-frame flap forms a bulge on the exterior yet can function as a nice padded grip for your hand. Also, the holes cut into the backside may hurt its classic and elegant look, but can serve to release heat from prolonged device use. Either point-of-view can appreciate its design that allows easy access to all ports and camera, as well as its simple conversion into a tablet stand for stable typing and viewing modes on a level surface.

N/A
3.5 Functionality:
The stand feature works well to provide a stable typing/viewing support. The flap that secures the iPad 2 in the interior frame also creates a padded grip on the outside for comfortable hand-held carrying.
4.0Protection:
While it primarily serves to provide all-around protection against bumps and scratches, we do like its extended, cushy corners that should allow your Kindle Fire to survive a few minor accidental drops.
2.5Quality:
There are noticeable bubbles, creases and wrinkles, and the stitching work doesn’t have the greatest appearance. Still, its polyurethane material has the slight look and feel of genuine leather material.
2.5Value:
It may fail slightly as a magnetic tablet case, but still performs decently in other areas for a very affordable price of only $8.95.
3.1 Overall: Mediocre

Although generic, it has the stylish appearance and functional performance to rival similar brand label choices that have a much higher cost.

"Extremely cheap and useful"

on 2012 Aug, 2 by Ben Johnson
iPad case doesn’t have to be expensive, at least that’s what I think. Face it: you’ve already spent a fortune on the device, why fork up another couple of hundreds for a protective pouch? This faux-leather folio does everything I need: protects the tablet, reclines as a stand, and keeps all ports open. And it’s not even 10 bucks!
