99% of folio-style cases feature an integrated stand for displaying the tablet. Given this common staple, one might imagine that locating the best stand feature would warrant considerable debate. But truthfully, this was a no-brainer for us. In 2013, Zerochroma delivered the one folio with the best tablet stand, which offers an expansive range of up to 11-different angles for displaying the iPad 2-4 in either landscape or portrait format. And if that isn’t enough function for the user, the kick-stand leg also doubles as a handle feature for more secure, convenient hand-held display.

The Zerochroma Folio should impress video-first Apple iPad users first and foremost: By way of a flush-mounted kickstand and 360-degree rotating swivel base, 11 different viewing angles are possible for viewing/display in both portrait and landscape modes. The remainder of this folio case isn’t too shabby, either: the TPU back cover is impact-resistant for above-average protection in this area, while the padded faux-leather front does its job well enough.
