Apple iPad Original iPad Case Review

During the launch of the Apple iPad the only attractive case in the Apple store was the Original iPad Case. They were selling  iPad sleeves as well, but this original Apple iPad case was designed to add some great functionality besides just a case.

The added functionality of the case is that it becomes your digital picture frame stand and elevated lap stand by locking in the front flap on the back. Do you want to see how, check out the video below.

The couple of negative things I have to say about it is that the rubbery feeling of the case leaves many finger prints left behind on the case, just like the screen is very sensitive to left-over fingerprints as well. The tight fit could be a problem if you will slide in the iPad with a screen protector applied to it. While sliding in it might peel off. But will find out later once I have a screen protector. The last part that you have to think of is that the iPad with this case won’t  with the original charging docks available at the Apple store.

On the Positive side. A case for other similar tablets with this  fuctionality should be available because it is simply said great and it is worth the $39.
