The iPad 2 fits very well into the envelope. The back is protected by a "window", the front by a robust flap. The fixing of the pads is done by a "soft plastic frame", in which the pad is clamped and then surrounds the outer edge of the pad. The introduction works well and gently. I can not say anything about the long-term quality, but it's worked partly made of soft plastic; its durability is probably Decisive. The folding mechanism funtioniert well. Price is quite high - there is also no odor as so often with new plastic items.
