 My favorite iPad case! |

I read several of the negative reviews here about this case, but I am just not seeing the same sorts of problems on my end.
I have owned this case for over a month now, and I absolutely love this case. I think that this case is *SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER* than the Apple case because the Apple case has sharp edges that makes it difficult to hold for long periods of time while you're reading a book, along with many other disadvantages which I will describe below.
BTW, I also ordered other cases as well, but they all paled in comparison to this wonderful case from MacAlly.
I have to admit that I have always been a MacAlly fan, and I think that they live up to their high standards with this iPad case as well.
Some of the advantages of this MacAlly case over the Apple case:
1. This case has soft edges, so it is very easy to hold for long periods of time while you are reading a book. (The Apple case has sharp uncomfortable edges.)
2. This case lets you easily snap your iPad in & out in just a matter of seconds. Don't want to use the case so you can show off your beautiful iPad's hardware to your friends? Simply pop it out. Want to use the case again? Just pop it back in. If you've tried to use the Apple case, you know that it takes minutes upon minutes of pulling and stretching and screaming and pulling your hair out to try to get the iPad in and out of that case.
3. This case allows for much better control of your iPad than the Apple case because this case lets you insert your iPad in either direction: home button on the left or home button on the right. This is sooo much better for me than the Apple case, which REQUIRES you to put your iPad in with the button on the left... which means that the volume controls are smashed into your lap and difficult to adjust.
4. This case is much more ergonomic than the Apple case because it has a much larger incline than the Apple case. This makes it sooo much easier to type on. While the Apple case gives you a tiny bit of an incline, the iPad is still pretty close to being flat in your lap with the Apple case. The MacAlly case really gives you a nice incline to work with, so you have a much easier time when typing.
Some slight disadvantages to this case:
1. Cosmetically, the grey color is not that pretty to look at. I would have rather had this case in black, but when I purchased it, grey was the only color to choose from. MacAlly, please make this case in black or any other color!!
2. Cosmetically, the leather strap isn't really that pretty either, but it is functional.
3. Sometimes the leather strap can be a little difficult to slide in & out of its holder, but its not a deal-breaker for me.
In regards to people's claims that the construction of this item is poor, I have to admit that I am not seeing this problem. I feel like this is a really solid case, and I am very happy with my purchase. Granted, I've only had this for a little over a month, so maybe my opinion will change over time.
Hope this helps! |

| This one is by far my favorite. Feels nice in your hands. The iPad clicks in and out easily. The stand is sturdy and the clip is an extra bonus that keeps the cover closed when not in use. |
Protective Case and Stand for iPad

| This cover provides the protection needed for the iPad yet it is not heavy or bulky. The suede-like material makes the iPad easy to grip and hang on to. The fact that this cover doubles as a stand is an added benefit. This product is exactly what I was looking for and at a reasonable price. |
Stylish and functional.

| The iPad fits snugly into the case. When closed, the case is an attractive folio style. When opened, the case functions well as a landscape mode stand. With the 'base' at the back, the stand is nearly horizontal which works well for reading, typing, and playing games. With the base on the bottom, the iPad is more upright, which works well for watching videos. |
I like this case a lot!

I bought this case at Fry's while buying a simple silicon case for the iPad too. I thought I would switch back and forth between them, using the Macally case only when I specifically wanted to use the stand options.
Now I've returned the silicon case to Fry's because I never use it. The Macally case is unobtrusive, but it protects the iPad, and the two stand options make using the iPad work well. Last week I used the iPad in the stand to display on a projector a pdf of a ppt presentation for a new client. Using the app Presenter and the iPad VGA connector, suddenly I had a super easy way to connect to a projector and run the presentation. |
Beautiful!

| Absolutely georgous. I was on the Apple Store waiting list for a while waiting for the apple version. Glad I saw this. Is blows the apple version away. Love the wedge for typing. Quality is beautiful. Looks like it would cost more in caparison to others I see. Very professional looking. 5 stars. Forget about the Apple version! |
Great Cover

| Good for the money paid. The other one from Apple is about $99. This cover works just as well and is a classy color. |
