Overview

After owning one or two cases that you might have bought because it had Optimus Prime on the cover or played a tune every time you opened it, you get around to realizing that there's a lot to be said for a quality accessory that concentrates on the basics. The Wardmaster envelope cases range excels by sticking with sleek, classy design over a case that offers simple but comprehensive iPad and iPad 2 protection.

The lack of extras, particularly a handle or strap, might put off some users, but those looking for faultless fundamentals will be hard pressed to find better than this. Whether dressing up for a night out or being used as an internal jacket in a bigger bag, this is a solid option for balanced security and style.

RatingDescription
N/A
3.5Functionality:
What it does, it does the best. Don't be too quick to be put off by the lack of optional extras.
4.5Protection:
The fit is snug, and reinforced by heavy duty Velco fastened straps, which will keep the iPad held tight even through fairly serious impacts and collisions.
4.5Quality:
The stitching and seals are of Wardmasters usual high quality, although cases using similar materials have displayed scuffing and marking after extended use.
3.5Value:
A dependable envelope case to either use as an inner jacket in a backpack or luggage, or to carry in-hand when your want to lend that touch of class to yourself and your iPad.
4.0Overall: Good

Another solid-performer in the Wardmaster Envelope Cases range, proving that getting the fundamentals right is often more important than thinking up new gimmicks or accessories.
