STM Bags Grip Apple iPad 3 / 4 Folio Case in Black
This one may set a new standard in hard cases for the New iPad. The STM Bags Grip folio case’s hard shell protection defends brilliantly against even extreme damage while providing a nice hand feel. And though a few extra ounces may be added, the trim fit of the Grip is frankly amazing.
Pros
- Incredibly trim fit
- Perfect cutouts
- High grippability
Cons
- Viewing in landscape mode only
- No extras
Overview
Wow, the competition had better be ready for the STM Grip Folio. Not only is this folio tablet case perfectly suited to defend the New iPad with its impact-resistant polycarbonate shell, the sleekness and feel put this one straight to the head of the class.
There’s very little to critique in the STM Grip folio case. Beginning with the textured exterior, the STM Grip is love at first feel – and users only get an added bonus of tough, extreme protection. With such impact-resistant material, the thinness and light weight of this case are truly incredible.

The embedded kickstand closes up nicely at the back and when unfolded provides a highly notable solid base for viewing. The truly finicky might notice that pulling the stand out isn’t exactly the easiest – you’ll have to use those fingernails – but this is a small sacrifice for a stand that will provide a few angles and take serious jostling.
Finally, iPad users will find themselves catered to in the STM Grip folio thanks to the precise cutouts (even for the speaker) and the auto on/off magnetic front cover that wakes/sleeps the tablet automatically. Imagining a better choice in quality defense and totability for the New iPad is indeed something of a stretch.

Editor's Rating
| Rating | Description |
|---|---|
| N/A | |
| 4.0 | Functionality: Beyond the kickstand, the STM Grip boasts no extras of note. However, this one is all about protection anyway and that one function provides for excellent viewing possibilities without fear of instability. |
| 4.0 | Protection: Those New iPad users fearing extreme drops and/or impacts can rest at ease when toting the tablet in the STM Grip folio case. This case will surely take any punishment the average user can dole out while both kickstand and cover fold up tightly to further accentuate the case’s sleek toughness. |
| 4.0 | Quality: Polycarbonate forms a tough shell to protect the New iPad, and the thick plastic kickstand will last the life of the STM Grip case – in itself sure to be quite a while for the average user. All this and top-level grippability, too! |
| 4.0 | Value: So the STM iPad Grip Flio has no extras beyond the kickstand – at suggested retail price of under $45, it will surely prove a challenge to find a tougher, lighter-weight folio case for the New iPad that’s a better bargain. |
| 4.0 | Overall: Good A probable standard-setter in hard folio cases, the STM Grip has simply got to be considered one of the top choices for those users seeking top-grade protection for their New iPad tablets at a more than reasonable price to boot. |

"Hassle-free protection and a great grip"
My new iPad came with this Folio Case included in the package as a part of the store’s promotion. I couldn’t be happier: I didn’t need to spend a penny on the case and it’s all I could wish for in regards to shielding my tablet from damage.
The best thing about it is it’s great grippability, it’s virtually impossible for the tablet to slip out of my hands (unless I really want it to). The case can even convert into a stand giving me a perfect angle to video-Skype with my family. The magnetic cover is a big plus too.
