Apple iPad Case Review

April 6, 2010 by GMoney 

My initial impressions of the iPad were pretty good but one of the things that really annoyed me was the weight shape and size of the iPad. It’s a beautiful device don’t get me wrong, but like many Apple products functionality is trumped by design. When holding the iPad while laying down the weight and oleophobic screen doesn’t lend well to your grip and if you try to get a better grip on the iPad you start to encroach on the touch sensitive part of the screen giving you undesirable touch tracking.

I like the look of the official iPad case since it had a cover which doubled as a tilting stand. The case fits snugly and I had no trouble accessing the ports and buttons. However, this is case you will want to leave on since it is rather difficult to take off and put back on. I am not sure what the material used on the case is but it’s somewhat like a neoprene or a synthetic microfiber, but more like a rubbery plastic surface. The one downside I found with the case is dust collects pretty easily around the edges especially if you wipe the finger prints off the screen with a cloth frequently.

Overall, I am happy with the case and will likely be the one I keep for a while.
