Doesn't quite fit the iPad Air 2
I've had this for about three months. There are some good things and some bad about this case. I like that it holds my pen. I thought that I'd use the strap and the pouch for documents a lot more, because I always used those features on my old case. Maybe it's because the strap is a lot tighter, or maybe it's because this iPad is so much lighter, but I just don't use it. Same thing with the document holder. I used to put a letter or a couple of sheets in my old case, but I think this one's too tight to comfortable get a note in there. But those are minor. case is well-constructed and looks good. I like that it has several angles. I wish the landscape mode could be mostly flat with a little more angle than if I just flip the cover backwards, but that hasn't really been an issue.
The main problem that causes me to mark down this case is that it doesn't quite fit the iPad Air 2. It's fine in portrait mode, but if I turn it on its side to use it in landscape mode, then the bottom of the screen is covered by the edge of the case. It doesn't block anything. It's just enough, though, that if you want to swipe up to adjust the brightness or sound, then you can't do it. If I start my swipe at the bottom of what's available, the iPad thinks I'm swiping in the open app. I've got to pull back the edge of the case if I need to swipe up to get to the iPad controls.
