The plastics are of good quality, and the rigid shell connects to the end good around the iPad and maintaining firmly while allowing access to all ports. The affected outside of the case is nice and the interior is lined with suede flap to protect the screen and is magnetized for automatic tablet or extinction ignition depending on whether the phone is open or closed. The flap like the smart cover apple keeps the tablet in half-lying position for text entry in landscape or to view a video, and in 2 cases keeps is very stable. When closed, the flap returns to the tablet and snaps back to secure the closing. Very protective system in case of a fall.
In summary, at the cost of some thickening but nevertheless predictable tablet, this case extremely well adjusted and very aesthetic plays its role without half measure protection. Add to that the convenience of the flap to the smart cover, and you have the case almost perfect if it was the plastic of the shell a little too hard for my taste and thus inherently less cushioning.
