Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPS: Very impressed. Top quality manufacturing. Very tight, good materials. Feels good in the hand, solid. Nice use of multiple textures and materials. Well thought out. One of the few iPad cases that stays up in the position you selected (magnets help a lot), even when moved or bumped. Holds iPad securely in a rubberized frame. Numerous angles for viewing (big plus). Doesn't add much weight and little bulk though it is quite protected. DOWNS: Apple Pencil holder is convenient but a little exposed (as you can see from the product image). Slightly worried the exposed pencil cap might be knocked off. (hasn't happened yet but I haven't had it long.) Like many iPad cases, the inside front cover (nicely cushioned) that faces the screen when closed is the side that sits on the table (wherever) when propped open. You have to make sure you're plopping it down on a reasonably clean surface. Does not have ability to rotate from horizontal viewing to vertical. Fair trade off, as that always adds quite a bit of bulk and most of my viewing is horizontal anyway. It'd be nice but… Overall, one of the best iPad covers I've had (and I've had A LOT.) Not perfect but Highly Recommended. 2/15/18 update: well I liked this case when I first got it, as you can see from the above review, but now that I’ve had it for a while I can definitely say I really like it a lot. I haven’t had any problem with the pencil falling out end it actually gives you something to grip when you’re picking it up and the material feels really good in your hand. Again, the construction is extremely solid and nicely put together. Uping my grading to 5 stars.
