The outside of the case is a nice faux leather that feels and looks high quality. The front flap on the interior is a microfiber material that feels like a smooth suede. Your iPad snaps into a polycarbonate shell that provides full protection for the back and around all four sides. Unlike a previous case I purchased from another manufacturer, the stand functionality is completely intuitive and easy to use. Even though the iPad is protected on all four sides, you do not need to snap it out of any of the four sides to use the stand. The back cover is hinged. What becomes the base of the iPad (as pictured in the product image) sits into a groove on the front cover giving you five viewing angles. Frankly, the grooves are kind of shallow due to the extreme thinness of the front of the case making them slightly more difficult to engage than the other case I had previously. Still, I think I like this case a bit better because it is extremely thin and light. I cannot imagine a case being significantly more thin and light without being completely worthless. My iPad is protected from scratches and I get the on/off functionality from the magnet in the front cover. This is not a case that provides a ton of drop protection and I have no problem with that. I'm looking for something that protects my screen, keeps my iPad from getting scratched up, turns the iPad off and on and makes it feel good in my hand. The Acase hits all of those points. To get drop protection you're going to need to do go to a heavy, thick case and I don't want to do that.
Pricing on this case is higher than the one I paid for myself. However, the fit and finish is probably a little better. The other case I have includes a holder for the stylus which is nice. Also the front cover on the other case, in addition to the magnets clips around the iPad itself when you close it for a more secure closure. Compared to Apple's case though, this one is an incredible bargain. Of the three I have (the other two area also reviewed here on Amazon), pricing aside, I would recommend this one over the other two by a slim margin. Taking pricing into consideration any of them are far better bargains than the Apple branded case or the Smart Cover which provides zero protection for the back of your device and at a higher price than any of the other cases I own.
