When I received the "envelope", I had once a fright: How the hell should be firmly anchored in the iPad 2 without it flies out immediately. The holding tongues are a little cut but still almost seems the iPad 2 is very good at keeping it wobbles nothing and it does not seem to be able to fall out. Even the closing works well here again acts a "tongue" as a closing mechanism. What seems to work at first glance well, could wear out after several painting removal and insertion. The true quality of this bag / envelope will therefore probably only become clear after a few weeks and months, which is a little detrimental for a review. I would not necessarily use this shell for example while standing because the iPad maybe could fall even in an unfavorable position. Something solved cumbersome, even though it works well: In order to use this shell as a pedestal, you have to detach the bottom of the iPad 2 from the retaining tabs and then plug it into the incised grooves of the display cover. Works quite well but very elegant solution is not, since the iPad 2 then has to be pushed into the retaining tabs again, what the durability even more strained. The concept of this envelope / pouch shows that the manufacturer but has made his thoughts really ideal, it is not. Also spread the material but as leather looks good none, a little intrusive chemical smell, but that does not really bother because it is perceived only in the immediate vicinity of the pocket. The protection of the iPad 2 works well, the casing is well padded on both sides. Whether the screen protector with the incised grooves is so ideal, remains to be seen also. The iPad 2 is nearly as thin this shell, which is amazing. Also the weight of the bag is kept within limits. To five stars it is not enough Unfortunately, this lack of perfection.
Update: The disturbing smell is completely gone, he was irritated but for a few days and was really extreme. Here, the distributor of the envelope in Germany should urgently times by asking the manufacturers, because it ensures that many customers are careworn. Anyone smell a few days "survives", which will be very pleased with this envelope. It is not perfect but so far seem the "tongues" that hold the iPad while in case, to work well, they are not yet worn. But I can still not believe that this concept will find a lot of friends, because the lower part of the iPad 2 to be disengaged from the retaining tabs if you want to use the shell as a pedestal. I like this shell still not want to miss, as it is well padded and relatively thin. Those who prefer something simple but for an a la Case iPad Case Apple investigated, which should be the times Snuggling Case for iPad 2 View which is also on Amazon. Does not quite so noble, despite white seams (but no leather) but works very well.
