Good case for Ipad Air?

brophs

For anyone that has the Invision iPad Air case, where it snaps into place, is it likely to mark the iPad? I know some of the cases that allow the iPad to snap into place seem to scuff the corners quite badly.

Cheers.

Do you mean the clips themselves are finished in leather so that what touches the edges of the iPad is leather? Sorry for the follow up question, but the pictures on this link don't show what I'm looking for.

The darker grey bit at the top feels like a hard plastic,
The bit underneath is softer.

I have the black / space grey iPad Air, and have taken it out a lot of times, and I cannot see the case leaving a mark on the iPad, the iPads trim and back plate are much more resistant and durable than you are thinking.

It's no longer aluminium, but polyutherane.

Edit: How the hell did I get that wrong!

The smart case apple makes is polyutherane!

The space grey aluminium is not as shiny, and just seems a lot more scratch resistant.

It would take something really sharp to mark it, and the invision case is certainly not sharp in anyway.

I think I'll go ahead and order it so, unless anyone else has any better suggestions?

If you want a leather PU case then go for it. The only con is that as it's a form of leather, it is heavier than the official smart case cover and the one linked on eBay in an earlier post. The iPads reduced weight makes up for it though imo.
And it should add better protection. It certainly doesn't feel bulky for a leatherish case.


I have read that after about a year with other invision cases that the tabs at the corners can come loose after extended use of pulling it in and out, but for the price this shouldn't really be an issue. This is not to say that it will happen with this newer case.

Bottom line, I love the case and think it is a bargain at the current price, I doubt you'll find a better case for the money, especially when I compare it to the crappy cases that I'd find in local shops, which are even more expensive!

Hell I paid €70 for the 12 South book case for the iphone and both tabs are gone after about 8 months of usage..still clips in the same though but still..

I have the official smartcase.
It's nice,it has the Apple logo on the back and it keeps the air light.

But it is flimsy.It does not seal tight at the back.
It will wear and tear quickly and it is already worn enough after 2 months to make it's kick stand not stand very well.

In short,a rip off obviously but even if it was half the price,a waste of money.

Got the Invision case for xmas with the air and its a great case much better than many of the alternatives I've seen + its almost as light as the apple case but it feels much more sturdy its a bargin at what amazon wants for it.

The white one also looks very nice with the white air

Any updates on how everyones cases are wearing? The invision case is up to £19 now (for black), so just checking to see if there are better alternatives before I pull the pin on it.

On side of the front cover there is a rubber trim that split on mine.
Not sure how it split, could have been my finger nail or something.

Mine has been getting very heavy use though.

The arrow shows where the rubber trim ends is in this photo:




As you can see i peeled off the rest of the rubber trim, it comes off cleanly so it doesnt effect the top of the cover.

You won't notice this unless you're directly staring at the side of side of the ipad, and why anyone would do that anyway is beyond me.

It might bother fussy people though.
