    $80 for a case.

      80$ is ridiculous

    Got the space grey and brown smart case. The case is really worth it for the price. Very detailed made and it's real leather. Just compare them to the third party case they are more expensive if you compare them into their category.

      you should use once, you can feel its great. it sale in: amzn.to/1naidoL IPAD AIR SMART CASE RED-USA. quality is great. Lightweight, durable, real nice feature that iPad air comes to life when you open it.

    Had this case for a few months now and it looks better with wear i think. The leather is almost a perfect fit - i brush the inside screen cover with a suede brush which helps keeps its soft protective feel. The whole package screens quality. I'm such a poof.

  • @prairiegopher4597
    @prairiegopher4597 10 років тому

    $89 bucks Canadian plus tax. My red one arrived today. Worth it? I think so, it's absolutely gorgeous and fits like a glove.
    My biggest concern is staining. I sprayed it with Tana All Protector and it didn't seem to do no harm, hopefully that will help.
    Excellent video, thanks.

    I had the red leather SmartCover and was really disappointed with how badly it discolored after a relatively short amount of time. With the Air I've gotten the black leather case and am very pleased so far. It feels great in your hands and shouldn't discolor, I hope.

  • @MarkGrech79
    @MarkGrech79 10 років тому +3

    Dropped it once, and landed on corner. iPad was not protected (small scratch but no denting) however the worst part is the case can no longer hold the device in place since the corner is now deformed. Way to go for an 80 euro case that doesn't even prop itself up well.

    • @Pmike404
      @Pmike404 10 років тому

      Well the case isn't designed for drops, it is mostly to protect against scratches.

    • @MarkGrech79
      @MarkGrech79 10 років тому

      You clothe a device in a case to protect against scratches and the odd drop. Have a silicone iSkin case for my iPad 2, paired with the original Smart Cover which was dropped with frightening regularity for four years and never had a scratch or dent...
      I don't mind paying premium price for premium products, but they need to perform as well..

    • @Pmike404
      @Pmike404 10 років тому

      Mark Grech Silicon is a much better material at absorbing bumps and drops than leather is. And there is minimal cushion (i'd argue no cushion) on the smart cases.
      The thin cases are mostly for show. They look great. I have a smart case on my iPad mini 2 and I don't expect it to protect it other than from scratches on the aluminum body.
      I usually use Griffon technologies cases for things that I don't want to have to replace. Or no case for some products.

    • @kshdjssjsk583

Does the iPad Air have motion background movement?...just notice when you moved the iPad that the background was moving, depending on the angle you were moving your iPad. Just wanna know...because I'm planning to get one around my BDAY and it either this one or the iPad Mini? :)

    I have no idea which case to get. Love the quality and look of this one but am not a big fan of the floppiness of the stand. Its either this or the ZooGue prodigy. No idea which one to get.

  • @RogerZoul

    For $80, that case ought to be perfect.

  • @RobbieSwan
    @RobbieSwan 11 років тому

    I can understand your point and respect your views, however, i normally do not look at the price if i feel the product i am buying is of a high quality. The case is leather, fits perfectly and the stand issues aside, seems to go perfectly with the iPad.
    80 bucks is and will be expensive to some but like i said, the price does not matter if i feel the quality is there.

    • @thevillageidiot70
      @thevillageidiot70 9 років тому +1

      32 gb isn't enough for me, as I use it for school, as well as gaming and watching TV shows and movies. Get the 16 gb if you want to just have a device for surfing the web, and social networking, but if you want to have apps on it, and TV shows and movies, go for something with more storage.

    @KillCamKev 11 років тому

    I agree that apple products have amazing quality im an apple fan myself but two things that Apple does that annoys me is their overpricing of products and them holding back when they upgrade. One example is the Ipad Mini. When the Ipad Mini came out there were already ipads and other devices with a retina display. But they didnt include it just so they could re release an ipad with the regular: Speed, Retina, And Camera, and im not even sure the camera got improved, not that it matters.

  • @filupskid1
    @filupskid1 11 років тому

    Well as he pointed out, they don't stand up right. As soon as you touch them, it falls down. They don't have that great of a magnet to hold it closed when the iPad is in use. Last years smart case did not stay shut if you had it in a bag and sometimes turned the iPad on and off. I still love Apple and their cases/products but they are not 100% great

  • @TekuQ
    @TekuQ 11 років тому

    Everything you state 4:45-6:25 is the reason why this product is not a 'high quality case' and 'perfectly desinged for the iPad'. The magnets just don't work as well as they are meant to in these Smart Cases. And looks like it's as bad as the older models and doesn't measure up for the Apple standard of quality and it's very high price.

    Got the ipad air case , and the poly finish you talk about at 1:40 is sticking out when the ipad is in the case. So it gets really annoying like touching a sheet of paper edge all the time. I dont know if its common , but mine is going back to the apple store tommorow.

  • @KillCamKev
    @KillCamKev 11 років тому

    I agree but dont you think 80 bucks is a little pricey for just a case. A case that has its problems such as a collapsing stand. Even without that problem i still think 80 bucks for a case is pushing it a little, especially since the old ones were like what 40? 60?

  • @transformers3937

    Mike, how do we get some cases for you to review which are much more affordable for the mass? $10 iPad Air case that is designed in Seattle, WA and made for US corporations to used by their field staff. Material is PU leather exterior, and microfiber lined. Highly protective, quality, and extremely affordable.

    Disappointed they decided to go with leather. However, "Assembled in China" leaves the word "leather" open to interpretation.
    As for the price tag, anyone paying that just doesn't like holding on to their cash.

    It should be mandatory to perform a drop test when reviewing cases. The iPad is the most fragile instrument on the markt and these expensive case never do what the should...protecting the device. You should already be happy if the device doens't pop out of the case when it drops (from 10 inches high).

  • @Jalal30001
