The center cut out is for the wifi module and the top ridges are designed to allow the 3G signals to reach the iPad.
The case is very strong and nice to travel with. I have had several people asking me if this was the new Mac Air lap top. I have tried several cases including the defender before I decided on this.
Hmmm. I'd be concerned about accidentally putting a ding (let alone a dent) in the case. (After all this is aluminum, not titanium we're talking about.)
Def looks cheaply fabricated and flimsy, looks like the neoprene will come off in a few days, also looks extremely bulky! Does anyone actually need metal armor on their iPad??
