I received this case a few days ago. It’s very sturdy and has convenient features; I’m quite clumsy at times, and the hand strap in the back has made it very easy to hold with confidence. The leather is very nice and definitely not cheap looking, while the microfiber interior makes it very comfortable to hold. The edges also appear to be slightly reinforced, and would likely protect the iPad from the occasional fall (of course, I’m not about to test that theory!).

A note on magnets:

I use this with the iPad WiFi + 3G. Another reviewer mentioned problems with the magnet inside, which is used to hold the integrated stand, and recommended that this case be used only with the WiFi version of the iPad. First, a clarification: both iPads have a built-in compass, so if using the compass is extremely important to you, don’t buy this case. While the magnet does interfere with the magnetometer, it does NOT interfere with the AGPS, data transmission, or cause damage to the iPad or any of its components. The iPad uses flash memory, not a traditional magnetic hard drive, so your data will be perfectly safe.

I have had the Eco-View since about when the ipad launched. The case looks and feels wonderful. Unfortunately, it starts to fall apart very fast, it loosens up in the top latch that holds the ipad in if for whatever reason you decided to hold it upside down it will fall out.

The leather is trimmed with a plastic lining that after time begins to separate, so I just cut the lining with a scissor where ever it separates.

This case is not intended to offer much protection should the ipad fall to the ground as there are slightly exposed corners. In fairness I do use my ipad every single day so it does get alot use, however I expected the case to last much longer than a couple of months before falling apart.

I purchased this item many weeks ago and have actually started to carry my ipad to meetings with me now because it looks much more professional. Everyone that sees it asks where I got it at and when I tell them they immediately go out and order one for themselves.

The case is outstanding, it is designed to use the ipad in landscape mode, you can type on it, watch movies, etc using the built in stand and it puts it at just the right angle.

The construction is strong, doesn’t feel like a cheap case like others I have purchased. This one is by far my favorite.

There is one flaw however. The tongue that slips in the top behind the ipad to secure it can get a little lose. The iPad won’t fall out but you may have to push it back down every now and then. To resolve this just go to any hardware type store and by some Velcro, attach one piece to the tongue flap and one to the ipad case and when the ipad is in you secure the tongue via Velcro instead of just pressure. This may sound like the Velcro is visible, it is NOT visible at all once the ipad is in the case. I’ll submit a customer photo to show what it looks like to help clarify.

But other then this one minor issue this case has been perfect and everyone that sees me using it asks where I got it from. Highly recommended.
