Hi imc88, I've been using it for 2 weeks and would like to share some review of this case for you and may be for other members as well.
I found this after searching for a notepad-attachable iPad case to help my life easier when I have to carry my iPad on duty.
Exterior - quite good finishing quality, I don’t know what kind of leather but I smell no chemical things — unlike Chinese case that I got from. Stitch and touching of the leather is better than I expected.
The iPad pouch is fit to my iPad quite perfectly (though I haven’t try my iPad with silicone shell yet but I think it should work well) .It has also a leather strap with velcro to prevent the iPad from falling off the folio.
The folio has a velcro folding stand, which help the iPad stand on the folio in both portrait and landscape stand, this is quite different from most of the case that support landscape stand only.
On the right side of the folio is what I’m looking for, it has 2 pockets for business cards also 2 pockets for putting some small and large papers. Notepad holder is fit to my small A5 size pads with an elastic ring for holding a pen.
Surprisingly, a function to support both left handed and right handed user is a plus!
Pros.
- product quality is good
- functions to carry all your stuffs e.g. b-cards, pen, notepad
- I like the way that I can stand my iPad in both landscape and portrait
- cover all of iPad, nobody knows what you are carrying (might be a Cons for others
)
- easy to take out from the case (this is a plus for me since taking the iPad out of the “Apple case” to charge it with the dock everyday is nonsense for me)
- support both left-handed and right-handed users
Cons.
- no hole for charging the iPad like other sleeves (but it’s okay to charge outside the pouch)
- may not suit to user who use iPad mostly for playing games and watching movies
Summary
After used it for a couple of weeks, I think the design is niche, unlike others that aim to make the folio or case in the same way.I will greatly recommend this case to a person who use the iPad at your workplace, office or have to carry your iPad and belongings while traveling on your business trip.
It may not fit to those who spending time with the iPad for games and videos since you have no need to take a note while using Mail or Numbers app.
