No matter how good a tablet case is, it's useless if you can't take it with you. Wardmaster shoulder bag range bridges the gap between custom-fit armor and a convenient carry-all for your iPad and iPad 2. Although lighter on features, the shoulder case is light on everything and weighs in at only 13 ounces, and still gives 360 degree protection.

Pros

  • High impact absorption, fluid resistant
  • Tough build, despite weighing only 13 ounces
  • Can be used with an device under 9.7 inches

Cons

  • Non-replaceable strap
  • A looser fit for smaller devices

Overview

Tablet bags tend to perform well in armor and impact tests, but by the same token of their simple and effective construction usually have fewer features. Wardmaster iPad shoulder case seems built on the philosophy of doing the basics with a high degree of proficiency.

Although you have to take your devices out, the protection and fit is second to none. Designed for the iPad and iPad 2, the tablet bag performs well for any device under 9.7 inches, although the smaller devices may slide under heavier impacts. The asymmetric strap, made of the same micro-weave found in seatbelts, keeps the bag balanced however it's loaded, making it a particularly good choice for cyclists.

N/A
3.0Functionality
Not a whole lot of features, just the basics done right.
4.5Protection
The asymmetric strap is safe and stable. This is a great shoulder bag for protection, from common wear and tear to some of the most serious incidents.
4.5Quality
Dependable Wardmaster quality using advanced synthetics, without a bad stitch or seam to be found. The carbon-fiber effect outer skin, impact absorbing memory foam, and micro-weave stitching are all solid and test highly.
4.0Value
$59 is probably more than one would expect to pay for a shoulder bag. But that is a good price for this great design for protection and durable Wardmaster quality.
4.0Overall: Good

This Wardmaster shoulder bag doesn't try to everything and is better for it. A best case scenario for those who seek a durable solution for easy transport of iPad and accessories.
