iPad 8th Generation Case 10.2 with Apple Pencil Holder

Well I was going to get a real leather case for my iPad 7th gen, but I thought I’d give this brown version of the case a try, and I’m happy I did. It doesn’t look quite as leather-like in person, but it could fool you if you didn’t know. It seems to be well-made and the flap that covers the screen has a decent amount of cushion in it. My iPad is below the lip of the case after pushing it into the cavity of the case, and it’s settled in nice and snug. And as an aside, I must say that the white bezels of my gold-colored iPad go well with the gray lip of this case. One thing I was worried about was the hand strap that you use to make it easier to hold the iPad vertically, has a bit of a hard and rough edge where the strap connects to the case, but you can actually only feel that if you pull your finger against that connecting point. In reality I don’t think that connecting point touches the screen when the case is closed because it’s below the level of the main part of the strap, and even if it did the rough part is not the top of that connecting point. But that concern is the only thing I could call a possible flaw. I can’t comment about the fit of the Apple Pencil holder since I don’t yet have the pencil, but for those concerned about getting it out of the holder, there are two open slots at the back of the holder which should allow you to pop out the pencil relatively easy. I do wish the hand strap was a bit tighter, but it does work fine as is. The case strap for holding the flap open works fine, as do the ridges that let you prop open your iPad to watch videos and such. The slot for papers on the front isn’t super roomy, but it’s good for a decent amount of papers I would say. All of the iPad buttons and connectors fit perfectly and are completely uncovered, except for the smart keyboard connector. If you plan on adding a smart keyboard this is not the case for you, although I’m sure you can still use a Bluetooth keyboard. I suspect that this case will be reasonably durable and will be more than worth the price. It’s not too heavy, and it makes holding my iPad easy in both the portrait and landscape orientation. If I could I would rate it 4.75 stars — nearly perfect. For the price I doubt you can beat it. I highly recommend it!

Love the leather look and feel is soft, easy to wipe down. Holds the apple pen on the side, has a couple of storage areas as well. I do not really use those especially the inside band as the case doesn't shut as effectively. I don't find myself missing anything for this case, it's nice and sturdy and the elastic band on the back is a great way to hold the case one handed for drawing/note taking on the go -Love this little case!

Very great quality iPad leather case,

What I like about these: - The handle. I never again want a tablet case that doesn't have a handle. I didn't realize how hard holding a tablet was on the ball of my thumb until I had to do without that handle. - Solid, neutral colors. Nothing against fans of splashing Starry Night or Hello Kitty on everything, but I like having the option of a quiet, businesslike, solid color. - The non-skid surface. My last case didn't have this non-skid interior, and the tablet was always falling over. - The pencil holder. Fits my Apple pencil snugly, but I don't have to wrestle it out. - The fit. Fits my IPad 8 very well, but, again, I don't have to fight to the death to get the thing out. - The price. Sure, I could buy an Otterbos or similar, but does it really make sense to pay nearly 20% of the price of the tablet on a case, especially when you have no idea if that case will fit your next tablet? Only if you're taking your tablet mountain climbing. My tablet doesn't have a rough and tumble life, so I can't see paying more than $20 for a case, especially once I've paid $20-30 for a screen protector. This case protects the buttons and corners, and has a pretty good padding over the front when closed if you want to toss it into a suitcase or backpack. What I don't like" - The magnet closure. It's so weak as to be ineffective. The on-off works fine, but the magnet does nothing to hold the case closed. My last case (same style) had a much better magnet. - I wish the handle was about a third wider than it is. It would be more comfortable.

It does everything you would want in an iPad cover. It’s durable, my last one lasted or 3 years. Great fit and easy to install. The feel is good as well, not to rough not to slick. It offers plenty of grip. Holds your pen snug. The only problem is if you keep your charger in it, kind of a lose fit.

I purchased this iPad cover, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. Here's why I love it: Firstly, the design is sleek and stylish, adding a touch of sophistication to my iPad. The cover fits my device perfectly, providing full protection without adding unnecessary bulk. The slim profile makes it easy to slip into my bag. What sets this cover apart is its functionality. The built-in stand allows me to prop up my iPad at the perfect angle for typing, watching videos, or video calls. It's incredibly convenient, especially when I'm multitasking or need a hands-free experience. Additionally, the cover features precise cutouts for all the ports, buttons, and cameras, ensuring easy access and optimal functionality. I never have to remove the cover to charge my iPad or take a photo, which is a huge plus. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this iPad cover. It offers the perfect combination of style, protection, and functionality. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish way to protect their device.

Really nice case with good protection, the issue is when you use the case as a stand, if you move it slightly it keeps slipping from the groove and falling flat. Shame, it would have been 5 stars without the above problem

I bought a second one for my work iPad. I love the colours and the feel of it. It is very sturdy. So far, it has served me well. It does have a slot for an Apple stylus but I don’t use it since I use a different brand stylus. Overall, I would buy it again.

Great quality & easy to fold up to travel with. Very happy with protected case.

Have only had it for a week, but it's everything I was wanting. Great price, does not look cheap at all. Love the little pocket on the front.

I was very excited to try my new iPad case, since I love this emerald green color, but I was very disappointed to find that my case had a scratch on it. I will be returning it. I do not have the time to go through this hassle......
