For complimenting your Burberry plaid scarf or tie, this more cost-efficient generic brand accessory is a nice solution for providing the iPad 2 simple protection while its pattern design can further project your sense of style.

Pros

  • Access to all external ports and camera
  • Lightweight and trim design
  • Vinyl exterior can repel liquid spills

Cons

  • iPad2 easily pops out if shaken or rattled
  • Low-grade materials and quality
  • Questionable use of the camera port

Overview

Made of polycarbonate material, this tablet protector case can shield the iPad 2 against bumps and scratches while its vinyl-like exterior skin can also repel liquid spills. The lightweight and trim shape will easily fit inside a large tablet bag, which should serve useful considering that its hard case style loosely fits the iPad 2. Then again, stowing it in an alternative carrying solution will prevent any dedicated follower of fashion from showing off their device when dressed with some trendy fashion.

RatingDescription
2.5 Design: Mediocre
The form design only snap-fits two sides, leaving the iPad 2 feeling a bit loose inside the casing. For some, the pattern design may be considered cool and a nice compliment to their particular sense of style.
2.5 Functionality: Mediocre
You may find its slick exterior is less than ideal for confident portability. While it allows access to all ports, the camera hole is too small for proper alignment and easy use.
2.0Quality: Bad
Separate from its awkward fit, there is already a slight appearance of bubbles and creases on the vinyl skin cover.
2.5 Protection: Mediocre
Parts of the iPad 2 remain exposed to potential damage and the poor fit causes it to pop out when slightly shaken. It was unharmed by the coffee and water I poured onto its surface, as both were easily wiped off.
2.5 Value: Mediocre
I may question its overall value due to the issues that surround the loose form-fit and low-grade materials, but it still only costs $11.75
2.4 Overall: Bad

Although not an outstanding choice, its unique pattern design alone may be enough to suit those who want to accessorize their iPad 2 with some style.

"Cheap and colorful"

on 2012 Jul, 31 by Mike Bonnie
It doesn’t get cheaper than this. I got tired of the aluminum back of my iPad 2 and decided to brighten it up a little. After searching for a cheap solution I found this back protector. And it had all I desired – cheap price, sturdy construction, simplicity and style. What’s most surprising – it repels dust and water, well, I would exactly go underwater with it, but still my tablet is now safe from splashes.
