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.

Features

Sleek and slim folio with two kickstand settings for typing and viewing.
Auto on-off front cover wakes up the device and puts it to sleep
Lightweight, slim and protective construction for a comfortable and easy carry
Snap in, hard shell back with soft lining provides enhanced protection from scratches and bumps
Easy to access device ports and control buttons
Complete protection for the iPad 3rd generation

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.

"great"

on 2012 Nov, 21 by Leah Blachaniec

This iPad case is great but I saw that a new site for iPad cases, domeo products just launched. It looks like they have some great cases. Which do you think is better? This case or iPad cases from Domeo Products?
