Tuff-Luv Tri-Axis "Stasis" Series: Genuine Leather case cover for Apple iPad 2 - Black
I had purchased the Apple smart cover for my Ipad 2 initially. Although it works great propping up the Ipad either vertically or horizontally as well as hibernating it when closed ( as well as reawakening it when opened ) it did not protect the back of the Ipad. I wanted a case that protected my Ipad totally. I found it in the Tuff-Luv case.
The case is made of nice, soft leather that does the same thing as the smart cover with the added benefit of completely protecting your investment. Propping up the Ipad in a vertical or horizontal position is fairly easy using the Tuff-Luv case. The case has openings for the rear camera, charging port, ear phone jack, horizontal/vertical lock switch, and on/off button. The case also will turn off the Ipad when closed ( you can hear the distinct click ); same as what the smart cover does. Of course when you open the case the Ipad turns on again. The case has snaps to close the cover as well as a leather strap to keep the Ipad securely in place.
When the Tuff_Luv cover is opened the Ipad immediately turns on and the entire screen is available for viewing with indentations on top and bottom for the front camera and the function button respectively.
I 've had the case for a few weeks now and am very pleased with it. The only negative consideration may be that the case adds more weight and bulk to the whole thing as compared with the light smart cover. Tuff-Luv Tri-Axis "Stasis" Series: Genuine Leather case cover for Apple iPad 2 - Black
I was a little annoyed by how few iPad 2 cases were out when I was looking for one and it took me awhile to decide. Initially I was going to go with a cheaper one and get a more stylish one when more came out. But I finally went with the Tuff Luv and have been 100% satisified with it. I love the look and feel of real leather, didn't want a synthetic case. The iPad sits very snugly inside, never worry about it not being protected anymore. Which is a must since the kids use it a lot too. The different ways to set it up are great, love having options. I feel it is much sturdier then a lot of other models out there. And I love that you can bend the front part all the way behind for reading. The auto start up feature when you open it is great too. LOVE this case, try it, you won't be disappointed!
I should preface by saying that I love cases and have been searching diligently for the best case. This was the 11th one I have bought for both the iPad and iPad 2. This is hands down the best overall case. Versatile, very functional and real leather. I would definitely suggest anyone to buy this.
Pros:
1. Stand positions, there are 7 different positions you can have it used as a stand (all are sturdy may I add)
2. Protection- corners are exposed though
3. Smart cover works perfectly
4. Design is flawless
5. Real leather, feels great, looks classy
6. Good price w/free shipping from amazon
Cons:
1. Corners are exposed
2. Concerned about the life with a lot of Velcro being used for the positions of the stand(s)
3. Would be nice to cover the positioning spots for the stands somehow, you are drawn to them.
I received this case a couple weeks ago and it is great. I am using the multi positioning features all the time. I sat next to a guy on the plane that had a stand for his iPad and his iPad kept falling over while mine was stable the whole flight even in turbulence. The quality of the case is great compared to others I have seen. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a versatile case.
I had my doubts... This case is authentic leather, it is sturdy looks damn good and fully versatile.
If your looking for a professional case, this is it.
It looked like a cheesy leather in the picture and I had my reservations about it. The case arrived and I was impressed with the Leather it is a matte black not the shiny patent leather look.
It fits the pad like a glove and the different Stand modes are great and sturdy.
I would suggest for any one to buy this case.
I purchased it with amazon prime on Saturday and got it Monday morning. Awesome.
If you buy this directly from Tuffluv it will take several weeks to get. Make sure you purchase it from Amazon and that Amazon is the one fulfilling your order.
I truly love this case. I specifically looked for a case that would hold the iPad in both landscape and portrait mode, this fit the bill perfectly.
My only issues with it are, I would prefer to see a much wider tab to hold my iPad within the case. The current closure is maybe a quarter inch Velcro tab. I would like to see either a top loading case, or at the very least a closure that is at least an inch wide, or better yet, an inch wide and have two tabs, instead of just the one in the center.
Second and larger issue is the Velcro used to hold the case in landscape or portrait mode started to lose its strength within days. I noticed first with tab "strips", then with tab on the stand. I then noticed it on the tab that holds the iPad within the case, since I had not removed my iPad from the case since purchase, I don't even use that tab. It was at that point I contacted customer service since I've had the case less than a month. They immediately sent a replacement, I hope the one I had was a lemon in regards to the Velcro because other than that, this is the perfect case for me.'
