Digital Treasures Props Pivot Apple iPad 2 Rotating Folio in Black

The highlight of the Props Pivot folio case is a 360° rotating stand with multiple angles for viewing the Apple iPad 2 in landscape and portrait formats. Though everything else here is pretty much middle ground, this is an overall great economical choice.

Editor's Rating 

The Props Pivot folio is intended to meet the more practical needs of consumers by providing more function while remaining low on cost. This folio case features a simple snap-in polycarbonate shell that is precisely cut to keep the iPad 2 securely fitted and fully functional while encased. Its design is comprised of a scratch and water-resistant PU leather exterior and a soft microfiber fabric interior. Once sealed by the elastic cover strap, the design can provide the entire tablet generous protection against everyday wear and tear. And the thickly padded inner cover will also offer some extra shock absorption. While the cushy inside cover works great for protection, it can generally hinder the magnetic case function. The user often needs to press firmly down on cover in order to get that clicking sound which tells you the tablet has been put to sleep. On the other hand, the thicker cover design creates deeper grooves for the iPad to rest more secure in stand modes. The long exception being that the portrait-formatted tablet tends to easily collapse from the steepest angle groove. But this is a common occurrence on most 360° rotating stand designs. For the most part, the Props Pivot tablet stand performs its duties very well. Transferring the iPad 2 between landscape and portrait formats is effortless and the tablet rests stable in comfortable angles (approx. 40° to 60°) for browsing and viewing.

Pros

• 360-degree rotating stand design
• Water-resistant exterior
• Inexpensive

Overall: GREAT

The bland looks may not garner much attention, but its price and function should do that trick. The Props Pivot is a best case scenario for the iPad 2 user who wants more function in a folio stand without having to pay a lot to get it.
