Best iPad 3 Case

Hello guys. Could anyone point me in the direction of a very good iPad 3 case that covers the back and also folds over the front. similar to the one that Apple launched with the iPad 1. Im not fussed about one with a magnet that just covers the screen. I'm in the UK. Best wishes..

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

I am searching for a case myself for my new ipad. Found a good review of a bunch of iPad case brands. The review itself is a really good. But, Reviwer seems a bit on a crazier side to me. Goes from a excellent review to salesman haggling you by offering a prize for watching video to making his young son shoot an iPad case. Hadn't had such a mixed bag for a ime. But, review is real googd.

I am a huge fan of the Snugg Case. It is a beautifully crafted top quality leather case which fits the functionality of the iPad 2 & 3 perfectly. Everything is fully accessible and the iPad is completely protected. This is the top-of-the-line iPad case for business use or the busy student. The iPad is fully functional in every case position and there are no problems with operation in any case position. I'll just add that I was amazed and happy to see it is exactly what I wanted: An exceptionally crafted leather case for the iPad that doesn't get in the way of the great iPad features. It also puts the Apple magnetic cover to shame.

BoSoxMe,


You seem to be an anonymous shill for the Snugg company. I am not a shill, and I will stand behind my comments with my name. I'm a long-time, extensively published, reviewer of Apple products. The Snugg case IS NOT "TOP QUALITY LEATHER." It's polyurethane made to look like leather. The case has nothing like the durability of real leather, as anyone can read in the Amazon reviews for the product linked in your note.


Although the Amazon ad doesn't say so, Snugg custeomer service will admit their deception if you press them. They call it "PU leather". The PU part is right: this scam stinks to high heaven. When held to task on this point, Snugg says "this use of the term 'leather' is common in the industry." Not in the US it isn't. The Fedderal Trade Commission says you cannot call polyurethane "genuine leather", let alone "top quality" leather.


If we customers do not hold sellers accountable for false advertising, nobody else will. Certainly not Amazon. As far as I can tell, the majority of the positive reviews in the Amazon ad are from first-time reviewers. This also stinks. The negative reviews are from people with a track record.


It is sad to see a company so blatantly cheating customers.

I still like Apple's smart cover the best. I saw a bunch of people online talking about the Caudabe Shell to protect the back so I picked it up and am pretty happy with it so far (http://www.amazon.com/Caudabe-Shell-Frost--Premium-Cover/dp/B009RN10KK/ref=sr_1_ 1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1355120205&sr=1-1&keywords=caudabe+shell). Also got my eye on the Incipio Smart Feather but I'm not sure if I will like the lock-in mechanism. Plus it's a bit more expensive than the Caudabe cover.

I've got the Caudabe Shell as well and it's worked out fine so far. Highly recommended. I like it better than the Smart Feather because it doesn't have that lock-in mechanism. It feels a bit thinner than the Smart Feather, too.


The SwitchEasy ones are good too but I think the bars on the speaker part are ugly. The Caudabe Shell has a nice little cutout for the speaker. some might want more protection, but I like the open look better.

I think it depends on how you use your iPad. These are my 3 cases for how I use my iPad



For work: Bear Motion Case because it has real leather, but it doesn't cost a fortune




For the kids: Otterbox Defender Case because nothing protects iPads better




For typing: Kensington Keyboard Case because the case has the keyboard stored with it
