You’ve got the hats, the jerseys, the posters—but do you have your favorite NBA team on your iPad?

Made from Zagg’s special sportsLEATHER, the skin is textured just like a basketball. So, who’s ready for some hoops?

Cons
- Sticky skin application
- No impact protection
- Can be difficult to remove
Overview
Sports fans are collectors, aren’t we? We grow up with trading cards, next we get the apparel and then when we’re older, we’ll probably move on to betting on eBay for memorabilia. In between all of these steps, other sports-related items creep in to our team shrines. This is where Zagg enters—their new line of iPad 2 / iPad 3 skins feature official NBA logos decked out to look and feel like a basketball. This skin is an excellent combo of personality and protection that fits perfectly to any newer generation iPad.

ZAG006MSC100 |
Zagg has a special material they call ‘sportLEATHER’, which basically recreates the look and texture of sports equipment—from baseballs to basketballs to footballs (I suppose the rubbery hockey puck look is already patented by other case makers). These skins are thin and pliable, similar to a film but made up of genuine leather. This is perfect for the armchair sports enthusiast!
Like other Zagg skins, the design is slim and elegant and applies directly to the back of the Apple tablet in a simple 3-step process. The skin also provides extra protection and some much-needed grip along the slippery back. Plus, the case has perfect cutouts for the external ports on iPad 2 and New iPad 3 (headphone, speaker grill, rear camera), but you have to carefully line them up when you apply the skin.
If you’re a sports fan, the iPad 2/iPad 3 NBA sportLEATHER basketball skin is the ultimate accessory for your gadget. If you are not into the sports designs but have a fanatic friend, then this would make a great gift. A simple skin like this one can go a long way in adding personality and protection to your tablet.

Editor's Rating
| Rating | Description |
|---|---|
| 5.0 | Design: Masterpiece If you are into sports themed gadgets and accessories, this is a tasteful addition (as we all know there are many generic logo-type accessories that end up just looking cheap and ridiculous). Almost all of Zagg cases score high in design, so no wonder this one does too! |
| 3.5 | Functionality: Good The skin is a clear, single-purpose case design, so no extra ‘pizazz’ beyond that. ZAGG offers clear access to all of your device’s buttons, ports, jacks, so you are getting exactly everything for the skin’s sole purpose. Plus, it is customized to either the iPad2 or the iPad3’s design, so no cutting or modifying on your part. As for applying the skin’s to the Apple ipad, there is a 3-step process of sounds scarier than it is. Just make sure to follow the directions and match it up carefully with the external ports. Once applied, you have great access to all jacks, cameras and buttons. |
| 4.5 | Quality: Amazing You can’t go wrong with Zagg sportsLEATHER—it feels great and looks fantastic with Apple’s black and silver design. Made from real leather with genuine textures, it transforms the tactile tablet experience. |
| 3.5 | Protection: Good Like most skins, you get much needed protection along the back of your iPad but nothing on the front. The skin safeguards against scratches, dirt and grime and dings, but not much against impact. But don’t try shooting this thing through a hoop, as much as you might be inclined to… |
| 2.0 | Value: Bad The $49.99 price tag puts the skin in a higher price range compared with other skins (that are generally priced at about $25). While the case comes in at a low value here, it is the price a fan pays for loyalty! |
| 3.7 | Overall: Good Show your true team spirit with Zagg NBA sportLEATHER skin for iPad 2 or New iPad 3. Good protection along the back with some extra grip, not to mention a superb design and official team logo. Is saying ‘slam dunk’ too cliché here? |
