I had a Speck cover on a previous iPad for ten years. It looks like the dickens now, but it held up. I was happy to see the company still in business. It's easier to hold the 'Pad with the cover on. I'd only dock the cover for being heavy, but that's the trade-off for the protection.
For the most part it works as needed but it seems like the company just didn’t pay attention to details in the design. The multiple notches on the bottom are pretty useless since the angle the iPad sits in doesn’t change dramatically. On that note, the bottom part is split into two plates which makes it very hard to put it up at an angle on the couch or other uneven surfaces. The part where the iPad fits into is also mounted crooked. There’s a loop that fits a stylus but it’s in an awkward location that makes it not very accessible from either the angled position or folded over position. I probably would’ve returned it but I threw away the original box and you need it for returns.
Have used the Speck cases since I bought my first iPad. They are tough, excellent quality, easy to use, and always protected my iPad from damage.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The ipad case is actually better than I expected. It's so sturdy which makes me feel like my ipad is totally protected but it's also functional with the ipencil loop and it actually stands up properly for watching videos etc. The flap on the outside makes it perfect for taking photos and videos as well. The only thing that would make this case better would be an inner loop for the ipencil. I think it would protect it more.
