I finally received my ipad cover (it got stuck st customs). I have to confess it wasn't cheap :-o but I made the whole ipad purchase out of money I saved up and budgeted for such things. And I found a bluetooth keyboard for $25 instead of the $70 apple or zaggmate. It's made of plastic, but otherwise works beeootifully--it's so quiet and easy to type on and light. I purposely looked for something cheaper, to offset the case.
Anyway--enough about my guilt. The case was designed by etsy boutique JennJill Designs, at the specifications of a customer. I looked high and low at every ipad stand and case and stand/case and I tell you there's nothing like it out there. ...You can't even imagine how almost-literal that is. When I buy something like this, I research ennndlessly. Ridiculously so. I become totally determined to find the exact right product for myself.
The Best because:
- it's a stand, in 3 positions
- and a good protector (quilted, lined with plexiglass)
- with pockets
- a spot for a pen and a pad of paper (yes a tablet should replace a pen and paper, but what if you want to pass a note to someone? Battery runs out in crucial meeting?)
- easy to remove the ipad fast
- cloth: it grips your slacks, or the blanky on your lap, and is washable
- with a strap, so you can put your grocery list on it and carry it on your arm around the store; or when you reach your bus stop you can just hitch it up on your arm
- and finally, it's cute! I wanted something pretty, and not leather.

| (My text gets cut off on the ipad app I've tried lately. Hmph! I was saying... you don't need to attach the buttons to hold it open in the above positions, cause the case sticks to itself. ;-) |
The only critique I can give is that the elastics and pockets holding the ipad cover the screen corners a little. Possibly the ipad 2 is wider than the first ipad? It's not like she has models of all the electronics it's made for, so I'll just let her know. ;-)
Tonight I put on a movie and sewed the edge of the corners down, and sewed the elastics back a little, and now it's perfect. (Perfect except for my terrible stitches - luckily they're black.)
Well... that's all. I hope it doesn't seem like showing off my Conspicuous Consumption. It's rather that when something is well made, by a nice little business, I like to give props. (Next time I'll show you my purse organizer!) Jenn gave amazing customer service, as we discussed patterns, strap length and the printer cover. If you're ever getting an ipad, reserve a little extra budget for this perfect cover. ;-)
