That part is really well made and makes already when unpacking a very solid impression. Thus, the iPad Air is a little harder, but the protection is significantly higher than in those plastic racks. Especially since here the iPad goes into sleep mode, once you have the lid closed. That is audible. Once you open up the cover, the iPad is ready again.
Better it is hardly. The iProtect provides Cases that I've seen so far in the shade. That part is awesome.
