After two years, the corners are broken from my Belkin Hard shell and the iPad has not held, I went in search for a new protection of the back of my Ipad 3. The V7 is in contrast to a Belkin softcover. There is actually no shell, but rather a more rigid latex coating for the iPad. All edges are well protected and the fit is good. However, if you want to swap the SIM card, you can not get to the hole to open the Simkartenschachtes in my copy. The hole for the needle is almost completely concealed. But is not really a problem, because you can easily arrange the cover from the Ipad. The soft rubber scratches are virtually eliminated. The Belkin was a lot nicer than the V7. While the Belkin was quite discreet, the V7 overlaps the edges of the iPad quite intrusive. Looks kind of cheap, but that's a matter of taste. At this Vollgummierungslook I have to get used to first. From the Schurz function the V7 but is well. It can break here also nothing.
