for my first review, I decided to go with something simple. The Kensington reversible sleeve for netbooks was not created specifically for iPads, but you can bearly even tell!
Uses:
This sleeve is great for when you need something to put your iPad in when transporting it in another bag with a laptop or something. I Wouldnt recomend stuffing it in with alot of other things that are heavy or sharp, as the case is not durable. this case could also work as a concealer, as its difficult to tell if theres anything inside, and it hides the iPad from view completely. Perfect if your roomate has friends over and you don't want them to sneak a peak at your iPad!
The case:
the case is made out of a very lightweight, fleixble, synthetic type material. to insert the ipad, you have to pull down the flap, put the iPad in, and stretch the flap back over the top. The stretching can be a bit awkward, but its not too bad. there are no zippers or connectors , as the case is designed to stay closed on its own, and it does so very well. there is no access to any of the ports when the iPad is completely in the case, but there is a way to charge it halfway in the case, which ive shown in the pictures. It says its reversible, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to use the other side. its an ugly greyish color, and the black seems are clearly visible. not to mention you have to cut off the tags for it to look somewhat ok.
The case offers some padding, but not a large amount. Its definitely enough to protect from objects in a bag, but not enough to completely protect it when dropped.
warning: some people have reported that the case can stain invisiShield protectors along the seems of the case. I can neither confirm nor deny this claim, but it's worth mentioning
Pros:
Lightweight
almost perfect fit
stretchy for good fit
reversible
CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!
Cons:
not a perfect fit, as it wasn't designed for iPads
getting off and on can be awkward (pushes buttons etc)
no access to ports
The bottom line:
This case is very cheap (5.99 USD on amazon) and it does an amazing job at protecting your iPad when you aren't using it. I give it 4 out of 5 stars, simply because its not a perfect fit. If your a college student who wants to transport your ipad in another bag, this is a must have for protection!
