Keeping the iPad lightweight, trim and easily accessible, as well as offering support for viewing/typing modes, may all be basic fundamentals that you seek in a case.

Pros

  • Concealed sliding handles
  • Side cargo pocket
  • Padded layer for additional protection

Cons

  • Bulky design
  • High price tag
  • Simple function

Overview

Mapi Cases creates more affordable genuine leather tablet cases to rival those of similar quality produced by fellow Turkish company BeyzaCases. This handmade case is designed with an envelope-style flap with snap-on button to keep the iPad 2 or New iPad 3/4 securely fitted. When you are ready to use your device in viewing or typing mode, simply unbutton either collapsible stand and set this case down on a level surface. The box-package also includes a soft cotton drawstring pouch, which is perfect for offering your device some added screen protection while being transported in your hand or inside a large tablet bag.

Design:
N/A
3.5Functionality:
The stand is too wobbly in the typing position, but the browsing/viewing angle is stable. The small holes for the speaker can mute some sound, but you'll have clear access of all buttons, ports, jacks and cameras.
3.0Protection:
With the exception of the screen, the iPad is well protected against bumps, dings and scratches. Just be careful not to drop this one.
5.0Quality:
In addition to the fine genuine leather, we like the saddle-stitched design - a nice touch that compliments its overall handmade case quality.
2.5Value:
This is the hard part to swallow. Although indeed an expertly handcrafted, high-quality design, we think $94.95 is too overwhelming a price to pay for a back protector.
3.5Overall: Okay

Considering all that you will receive for a high-end investment, we can only recommend this genuine leather tablet stand case for nothing more than pure, simple Mapi Cases brand fine craftsmanship and durable quality.

"Great looks and features"

on 2012 Nov, 8 by Sarah Jones
The crocodile leather design is not the only great thing about this Mapi case. It’s top-notch, handmade quality, genuine leather material, and versatile functionality make it one of the best cases there is. It features concealable sliding handles, several interior and exterior pockets, safe zippered closure and an extra layer of padding for superior protection.
