slim & lightweight yet sturdy overall protection

Been using this case with my iPad Air 2 for the past week and it's great. My family has 4 iPads/minis among us and believe me, we've tried several different cases, from the most decorative (but flimsy) to the most sturdy (but bulky and heavy). This Speck case fits the bill as it protects well but it's not too clunky/heavy. I have it in black and it's very sleek looking (it also comes in different decorative colors).
I like that it has four different landscape positions to choose from, and that it stays in those positions well (in the light grooves). I also like the clip on the side that snaps the cover definitively closed so I know the cover isn't flapping around my backpack/tote/purse. It also snaps the cover open out of the way (folded back when I'm using the iPad) so I don't have to hold it open when using the iPad in portrait mode. And it has the magnetic capability of turning the iPad on and off when I open or close the cover, too.
I was also very pleasantly surprised at how lightweight and slim this cover is. Every other cover I've had and/or tried added some significant weight and bulk to the iPad overall (except for the Apple Smart Cover, which I don't count because it has such minimal protection).

I purchased this online after reading the description and specifications very carefully, because I wanted to make sure this laptop had two things for sure: a CD/DVD drive and an HDMI port. The descriptions said that it indeed had both. Imagine my surprise and frustration when I received the laptop and found that it did NOT have a CD/DVD drive as advertised by Best Buy. Although yes, the laptop itself is very thin and lightweight and seemed to run well, the fact that it does not have a CD/DVD drive is a dealbreaker for me. So I had the major inconvenience of having to return it at the store so I could do an exchange for another laptop that I could physically see in person, so I could verify the presence of a CD/DVD drive. Best Buy needs to rectify this situation and fix the website description, which at the time of this review, still says this laptop has a CD/DVD drive.

no CD/DVD drive is a dealbreaker to MANY PEOPLE
September 20, 2013
In response to the person who commented on my review: obviously, based on the other reviews of this laptop, the CD/DVD drive IS a dealbreaker to others and I'm pretty sure, many many other people who just don't bother to post reviews. I know about the RAM and hard drive memory, processor speed, etc. being more important, blah blah blah, but I was buying this laptop SPECIFICALLY for someone who likes to watch her movies and listen to music through DVD's and CD's. And she specifically wants to be able to hook the laptop directly to her TV via the HDMI port. Yes, in case you didn't know, there are still people who do those things. Actually, not me personally but this computer was not intended for me. Sure, I would not buy a car ONLY if it had a CD player in the radio but I am mainly buying a car to DRIVE IT and have it take me places. I was buying this particular laptop for someone to mainly use the CD/DVD drive and HDMI port, and do some very basic internet surfing and emailing, that's it. Obviously you don't understand that different people have different needs and wants. If this laptop was intended for me I actually would have kept it but it clearly did not suit the needs and wants of who it was intended for.
