To qualify this review, the first thing to note is that the case was only $15, so all things considered it is a decent product. However, the product description leads you to believe this is a sleeve made specifically for the iPad. It is not. It is a generic sleeve, made to fit multiple products, and would probably best fit a netbook.
The sleeve is too big on both sides. There is an extra half inch all over, leading to lots of movement within the sleeve. I would much prefer a sleeve that fit snug and tight. It does accomplish its intended purpose though, which is to protect the ipad from scratches. The neoprene is nice, not too thick nor too thin. There is a pocket on the inside which you slip the iPad into to protect it from the zipper as you open it. The pocket on the outside is nice also, will easily fit the charger and a cleaning cloth and some earbuds maybe.
This is a decent sleeve at a good price. It was available early on at the ipad's release, but I'll be replacing it with a case made specifically for the iPad soon. Scratch Defense Neoprene Sleeve for the Apple iPad / iPad 2 - 16GB , 32GB , 64GB , WiFi + 3G
I agree with all the other reviews about the case being about a half inch over. However, no one seemed to mention that there is a sleeve inside the neoprene case that holds the iPad much more snug, albeit a little awkwardly. And as an added bonus, the apple hard case arrived yesterday and will fit perfectly inside. The outside pocket to hold cables, power plug, etc. is what really sells this and frankly for the price it does the trick.
Got my 16GB iPad yesterday! So excited!!!!!!!!!!
anyway, this case i purchased last week came in the mail this morning, it fits great! snugly protects my iPad and has an extra accessory pocket that fits the Apple Charger. The neoprene material seems thick enough to offer good protection
Excited i can finally read and surf the web on the same device!
There isn't much to this little case, but it does exactly what it is supposed to do; protect the iPad. I bought two of these, for my wife's and my iPad and the cases are just perfect. Well made, plenty of padding. I carry the iPad in my briefcase/backpack in the slot where the laptop used to go. And even around the apartment, I slip the iPad into the cover for protection while charging and not in use.
The zippers seem fine, and there is a nice little external pocket for my MiFi and iPad adapter.
Thanks for this product, we like a lot!!
I love it! And you know what's nifty about the
sleeve? Not only does it fit the iPad nicely, but there's a pocket that zips up that's just right for my passport (I got iPad to read books on foreign travel). Now if I can only figure out how to work the iPad.......
This is my favorite case for the iPad. I use it for double protection. I can slip the iPad in with my leather case and zip this one around the leather case. Zippers are strong and the neoprene is spongy. Excellent!
Chances are that if you're looking at buying an iPad, you are going to invest in a case to protect the screen and the device itself. I was in the same situation about a week ago when I ordered my iPad from Apple, and it arrived last Friday. The case came on Saturday morning (ordered the same day as the iPad) and immediately I attempted to protect the iPad with the case.
At first glance, the neoprene material looks nice enough that I'm okay with carrying my iPad around in it and showing it off to other people. The nylon around the zippers fits snug together and it is comfortable to hold in your hands.
When you open the zipper, the first thing you may notice is that it's just the neoprene material, and that doesn't leave a whole lot of padding. The material is stretchy, but it's almost too stretched to start, as it ends up being about 1/2" too long and 1/4" too wide for the iPad to fit "comfortably".
I do like the accessory pocket on the front for my charger cable, adapter, and cleaning cloth so I can keep my iPad in good condition. It could probably fit a small pair of earbuds if you're so inclined as well.
I bought this hoping that it would fit like the Belkin Kindle 2 Case, and it does not. The sleeve is made of what seems like flimsy material which doesn't bode well to offer much protection if I was to drop it (which I have not done yet). If you only have a few bucks and you don't feel like throwing $40 away on the Apple case, this will work fine for the interim. I will be investing in a more long-term solution shortly though, as I don't really feel secured with my iPad living in this case.
I'm contemplating getting a silicon skin which then would be around the iPad while in this case which might help it fit better, but I'm not 100% sure yet.
Update: Yesterday I purchased the Belkin Grip Swell skin from Best Buy and using the two cases together allows it to fit more securely, and if the case had been smaller it may not have fit 100%. The only downside, is that the Belkin skin cost me $50 at Best Buy, and it doesn't seem worth $50 but comparing reviews on other skins, I wanted one that fit and that protects my iPad from scratches. - Soft - Ipad - Ipad Sleeve - Ipad Bag'
