    Too Much Hassle-No more onlineshopping at Best Buy

    Wrong size for my iPad. Had to return. Best Buy, where I love to shop in a store, is making the return process very difficult and time consuming.

    I do not like the fact that this does not stand up. It started falling down the day I purchased it, but my son needed it while he was in the hospital, so we had to make it work. I would not recommend.

    Does not protect the iPad at all. My iPad slipped and fell about three feet and landed on corner and the iPad cracked terribly. I’ve only had it for four months and now I have a broken product. So upsetting!

      We're sorry to hear your iPad was damaged, Jenn. Although our cases are extensively tested against drops, there are some variables we're unable to predict. Since we're not the manufacturer, we can't replace or repair the iPad but we would be more than happy to replace the case. Send us a note at customerservice@speckproducts.com and we'll do our best to help you out. speckpwr

    Never had a Speck product before so decided to try this for my wife’s new iPad. She doesn’t like it as much as the original Apple iPad cover, says it’s awkward to use, especially when taking a picture.

    Looks good with a nice color combination. However, the pencil holder is on the outside and is elastic. Can see that over time the pencil would not be protected and the elastic may stretch.

    One of the worst cases I have bought. Skip this one and buy a cheaper one off Amazon or eBay. You'll be glad you did. Seems really cheaply made. No magnet to turn on tablet, and didn't fit good.

    Does the job. Not too many choices at Best Buy. Would have preferred a case with a built in slot for the Apple Pencil. But needed this in a pinch for a new IPAD also purchased here.

    I paid for this item brand new and received an open box item, it was dirty and smelled of smoke. I will be sure to check all my items when I order online and pick up at the store.

    When trying to open, the little flap that covers the camera lens gets in the way and makes it awkward to get the screen up. Also the choices of positions could be a lot better
