We have covered WaterField products before and we were always very satisfied with their products. The new WaterField iPad Ultimate SleeveCase is no exception here either. Please read and view along about this great ultimate travel sleeve/case/bag for the just released Apple iPad.
The iPad Ultimate SleeveCase is made out of ballistic strong nylon on the outside and cushioned on the inside with high grade neoprene on one side and the other side is lined with ultrasuede to protect your screen against stratching.
The SleeveCase comes in either a horizontal or vertical orientation. The version we received has a horizontal orientation with a leather trim on the bottom. The SleeveCase is TSA Checkpoint friendly which means you don’t have to take out your iPad out of the sleeve while going through security at the airport.
The SleeveCase has a nice big flap that is secured with velcro. Stitched on the flap is the recognizable clean logo of WaterField. On the back you have an extra sleeve to add some paper work or some skinny charging cables. However this pocket can not be closed securly, it is an open sleeve.
On each side of the flap are two metal rings which will allow you to do two things. In the first place you can add a shoulder strap to make this SleeveCase into a shoulder carrying SleeveCase/ bag. Secondly you can add a Piggyback pouch which is an extra pouch that will allow you easily to bring extra charging cables and your MIFI if you want to bring the internet on the road. The Piggyback pouch comes with your choice of the leather trim like the SleeveCase or with the Indium trim which is the other trim option for the SleeveCase as well. Combining the strap and the piggyback will give you a real ultimate carrying travel case/bag for you Apple iPad needs.
I have a made a short video below showing you the options of the iPad Ultimate SleeveCase with leather trim, Shoulder strap and the Piggyback with leather trim.

Conclusion
I really do like the fact the the WaterField Ultimate SleeveCase is compact to fit just the Apple iPad and a little extra like a cable and a MIFI. With the great battery life on the Apple iPad you don’t need much more. The added shoulder strap makes it easy to carry with you and the added easy to attach Piggyback pouch gives you that little extra to bring along if you need to.
I have made up my mind if in the future I need some kind of bag or case for our MobilityMinded products. I have to make sure to check out the San Fransico made WaterField products first !
