Just got survivor fitted on my iPad. The mil grade cover gives a sense of security. The touch sensitivity is good. In fact I would term it close to regular keyboard kind of positive tap touch. The flaps fit in snugly but for the top one for the microphone. Not able to figure that one out yet. I would suggest after initial donning of this suite, feel around the cover to ensure that all bumps in the silicon case fit into respective slots in the underneath hard case. It would take a while. I am not sure about the rain protection but it does give you the confidence of withstanding a accidental spillage initially. As for the charging connector flap, I have not faced a problem. I some how am more confident handling this bulky militarised iPad rather than a slim slippery one. As for the stand it is stable on a flat hard surface like a table but on a bed it is not stable and tends to tip over. Some of us felt that a face cover to close would have been good. As for me, as of now I am comfortable. Maybe griffin can think of an add on / clip on like the stand. Overall a worth it buy for all those who are frequent travellers to not so comfortable environs. I guess I would confident of chucking my iPad confidently into a backpack with this cover till the time there are no sharp & hard metal objects along side. To protect the screen cover from scratches I would recommend an additional soft pouch or a net book pouch.
