CaseCrown Bold Standby Pro Case (Blue) for Apple iPad Air 2 with Hand Grip, Corner Protection, Multi-Angle Viewing Stand (Built-in magnetic for sleep/wake feature)

After adding an iPad Air 2 to our collection, I knew right away which case I'd be getting: the same CaseCrown case I have for our iPad Air, but with minor design changes to support the Air 2's modified button scheme. The case is very lightweight and works great as a stand or flipping the cover back like it's a book. The magnets inside the cover ensure the auto-off feature of the iPad is easily triggered by simply closing the cover. I know...this sounds like a basic feature, but I've experienced the frustration of other case designers' inability to get this implemented correctly.I suppose the one potential down side to this case is its minimal corner protection. It's a soft case, so with that you do sacrifice some protection some of the more solid alternatives provide. I haven't dropped any of my iPads (my wife...that's a different story), so I can't really say how this case would hold up if dropped. So to me, the corner protection is sufficient.

This is a very nice leather portfolio case but I had specifically searched for impact-resistant and I wouldn’t really call it that. A little more corner reinforcement would be nice, and I’m not exactly sure how you’re supposed to use the handle. It is nice and slim, and the built-in stand is a good idea. Volume buttons are a bit hard to reach, but that may be the same for any case. Will be keeping it and hoping I become less klutzy.

I got one of these for an iPad Air (1st), and loved it. So when I got an Air2 I didn't even look for anything else. Best cover I've seen, and the one on the 1st Air held up excellent when it fell off the back of my car, going down the road. The iPad though didn't fair too well.Update:Since I've had this a while, I've notice some differences from the one for 1st gen Air. This cover doesn't fit as well, when the cover closes, it gaps to the front of the Air 2, towards the hinge side. It leaves a bumped up gap. It also doesn't protect the corners on the hinge side much at all. In fact a short drop to carpeted concrete allowed the screen to break. It also stopped going into and out of sleep mode when I open and close the cover. I didn't notice this when it first stopped working, and I closed the cover thinking it slept, but it stayed on, running the battery down.I LOVED to cover on the Air 1, I just like the cover on the Air 2. It doesn't fit as well, it doesn't protect as well, and it doesn't sleep anymore.

My husband gifted me an iPad with a keyboard case (because I am a rapid typist who wants a real keyboard), but as we were going to travel and I would be carrying the iPad in my purse regularly, I didn't want the extra weight of the keyboard while walking around. So I bought this blue crown case to be a lighter alternative, and I love it. It's easy for me to switch between the two cases quickly. I can't address the issue of whether the corners are "protective enough" or not, as I have yet to drop my iPad, but I'm not worried about it. I would recommend this case.Update May 2017: After 2 months of pretty rough handling on my trip, this case was great. There are a few little practically unnoticeable dings in the finish, but that's to be expected after what I put it through. Again, I never dropped it, so I can't address those concerns, but it protected my iPad perfectly, and fit inside my (large) purse well. It was easy/fast to access for photos, too.

I'm a repeat customer, love CaseCrown covers. Bought one from my ipad2, ipadair and now, the ipadair2. This is my least favorite because the magnets don't seem to line up as well as the other covers I've had. Perhaps the fit isn't as snug, it seems to close with the cover slightly over the edge, so it doesn't always put the ipad to sleep. I'm getting used to simply putting the ipad to sleep on my own and not relying on the cover. No big deal, it's just I didn't have this issue with the other casecrown covers.I have to add my very favorite CaseCrown cover was the one for my ipad 2. It had grooves on the cover and a flap leg on the back, so that when you opened the case to prop it, there were more than 20 options for angle. I don't care for the foldback and tuck under the flap method it uses for the ipad airs.

I had one of these from a few years ago and it has lasted 3-4 years and is time for a new one. I bought this as I liked the original one, however the left side where it folds back is not flat when you put the front cover behind it, so the left side is about a 1/2 inch thicker to hold compared to the right side. Sending it back.

This case is actually beautiful, but the material is not very durable. The beauty of the case may turn out to be a weakness in itself because the quick signs of wear and tear really stood out due the beauty of the case as it looks brand new. The functionality is strong and it seems well designed except that the synthetic leather scratched so easily. Since I paid less than $10 for it, I can only complain so much so I gave it a 3. I am a little spoiled as I had a real leather case for my last tablet and it was super durable.

This is my third time purchasing this case. I like it because most other cases have the folding front cover to form a triangle which is used to hold the tablet at an angle for desk/laptop use. For me, the triangle easily comes undone and falls flat when i'm typing. This has a flap to hold the front cover securely. It also helps that blue is my favorite color! It protects my iPad well despite a few drops. This is my third because I sold the first one with my iPad, second one is used at work where it gets beat up, and this one is used at bible lectures.
