In telegraphic style summarized my first experiences: Delivered from the UK within 2 working days with Amazon typical speed. The shell comes in a very well-made cardboard box, wrapped in a layer of tissue paper. The leather frame is held with a foam insert in the form. The Air 2 slips immediately into the correct position to the display and home button remains enough space so that even swiping from the edge are still quite possible. All controls remain accessible - of course they are now slightly recessed inside the leather frame.
The shell has a switch-on when opening the lid. This works so reliable that I initially like a small child had to make the "refrigerator test" - the light goes out really, when I close the door? Calm - yes, it comes from. The state function with three locking positions works fine - just like the flat tray on the table. The closure flap adheres magnetically to the housing when it is turned all the way back.
A single downer tarnishes easily the otherwise entirely positive appearance of the pupil of Cambridge - the automatic brightness sensor is hidden by the frame and therefore I had to switch off the automatic brightness control of the Ipad. This is a shame, but no reason to devalue.
