Wasn’t sure if I was going to like this case as I didn’t think it was going to protect it well enough, but I was totally wrong! This case was absolutely perfect! Has a camera cover for the back, has a spot for Apple Pencil and has a lock feature so the case stays closed!

Case felt sturdy and protective, however after only a few days I could feel the sturdy inner material separating from the outer lining. While annoying, I found this to be a minor issue compared to what happened next. I don't like the bulky feeling of the case while casually using/drawing on the iPad at home, so I often removed it for comfort. Unfortunately, the case fits too securely and snapped at the camera cutout after only a couple weeks. While I'm sure I'm not the ideal use case, I believe a product like this should strike a balance between secure enough to provide protection but easy enough to remove. Save your money and get something else.

The case is great, designed perfectly with the ipad. But hopefully they just sell the keyboard case with this kind of price point $60.00

I went through 3 other cases for the new iPad Air 13”, the last one being the pretty-expensive Otterbox sold at Apple. That was underwhelming and disappointing, to say the least. In all honesty, I got this while I waited for UAG to release the new lineup, but it’s definitely a keeper! Sturdy, elegant and smart, this one perfectly protects the iPad while allowing me to quickly shift between viewing angles. It covers the camera with a small “patch”, allowing for a much cleaner look for those of us who never ever use the camera anyway. Overall, this was such a pleasant surprise!

Case offers pretty solid drop protection. Initially didn't like the clasp over typical magnetic closures, but now that I'm used to it, it's a superior method of ensuring the case does accidentally open during a drop. It hold pencil very securely so not depending on the magnet. Not as keen on how it easels the iPad but still very solid/steady. On sale, it's a great choice. At normal price, I might've gone a different patch, but no regrets with purchase.

Great case for the iPad. When I purchased a new iPad for my wife as a Christmas present, I bought the case as well. She likes the ability to have the iPad viewed at different angles. The only downside is that the pictures on the box show that the iPad can be mounted in Portrait. I cannot figure out how to do this.
