ZeroChroma - Folio Slide Case for Apple® iPad® Air - Teal/Black

I had a complicated cover with a keyboard which eventually became unusable due to wear and tear even though i didn't really use the keyboard often. I needed a basic cover and found this on clearance. Great for what I need.

waited a long time to buy a case for the iPad. I wanted something functional without too much added bulk or weight. This case provides adequate protection for day to day use; I haven't (and wouldn't drop it to test whether it works, but seems to protect it from day to day bumps and dirt. The back cover includes a rotating flip-out stand which allows it to be stood up at various angles in both portrait and landscape orientations and the slight bump-out for the rotating mechanism provides a hand-hold of sorts. The flip-out stand can be used for a more secure hold. The cloth cover, which also activated the instant on, covers the screen when not in use, and provides added protection for transportation. The cloth is nothing special, and occasionally loses a thread; should have been sealed with glue or heat, but not a big deal. The only annoying drawback is that the cover interferes with using the camera, making an already awkward camera a little more difficult to use (Noet: I am a SLR guy).

Good and not so good. The swivel doesn't catch at certain positions, but when it does, it functions well. We use it for handheld purposes when having FaceTime, works well enough but could be a little easier to handle. Hard to put on but secure. Cover stains easily (I have a toddler). Be careful when is talking, it's a tight fit and will push up a glass Zagg protector if not I stalled correctly (the case, not the screen film). Haven't tried the headrest mount but am excited for the next opportunity to do so.

If you want an iPad case with a stand, this is the one to get. If you're worried about bulk, don't be - it only makes the iPad a little bit thicker and hardly noticeable. The adjustable kickstand gives you just about any angle you want and the fact that it can be rotated 360 lets you use any portrait or landscape mode (where the home button is) that you want. The cover has magnets in it like Apple's cases to put your iPad to sleep when the lid closes and and the fact that you can take the cover off is a nice feature, especially when it's in portrait mode. The only small niggles - the cover is a nice nylon on the outside and felt on the inside, but only medium strength cardboard on the inside, so it does warp a little over time. Just need to bend it back flat. The nylon outside is showing some wear where it's being rubbed by the kick stand. The kickstand itself has some quality issues - the first one was very stiff which was awesome, but it was so stiff the slide eventually broke. ZeroChroma sent me a replacement free of charge (the whole back cover) but that one had much less resistance in kickstand and the kickstand would keep folding up under even the slightest pressure, so ZeroChroma sent me a 3rd back cover and so far so good. Even have the case for the iPhone. Not sure why everyone doesn't have one of these.

I gave my husband this case for his iPad air. It fits it well and feels secure. He really likes the option of the stand and the ability of it being able to turn. Our previous case didn't turn so you couldn't use it to support the iPad standing upright. Would definitely purchase again.

I bought this cover to replace my Logitech cover. This cover is flexible and thin! I like how I can switch from a portrait to landscape with a turn of the kick stand! The kick stand also makes a great handle when taking notes or operating the iPad while standing!

Thought the removable cover was kind of gimmicky. Turns out it's the best feature of the case. I love being able to pop it off when it's in the way. The kick stand works fine just wish it could be adjusted to a steeper viewing angle

This case is great for someone who doesn't need anything fancy or bulky. It adds enough protection to avoid a broken screen without adding a lot of additional weight or size. There is a pop out stand on the back which is very helpful if you want to prop up the device on a table while watching a video or movie. The face cover is removable, so you don't need to leave that on unless you actually want it there. We plan to use the removable face cover only when traveling or packing the iPad into a backpack/briefcase.
