Comment on UK Cheap TeckNet® iPad 2 Premium Folio Case / Cover and Flip Stand For Apple iPad 2, With Magnetic Sleep Wake Sensor Feature – Black Best Price by N. BARBAR

This review is from: TeckNet® iPad 2 Premium Folio Case / Cover and Flip Stand For Apple iPad 2, With Magnetic Sleep Wake Sensor Feature - Black (Electronics)

Its so hard to find the right case for these iPad 2's, and I am hoping my experience could help someone out there finding the same problem.

I've gone through several cases. I started with some Belkins from Carphone Warehouse because I needed something quick before a trip. First, I bought a zip up slip case that left way too much play and seemed baggy (20£), thats all they had that day. I traded that one in a few days later and bought the Belkin Slim Folio Flip Case (35£). This one had a fantastic outside look and a snug fit - but there was no velcro on the inner flap that secured the ipad!! So whenever in stand position, the iPad would slide down and the buttons would be out of line, headphone jack out of line, home button behind material.. pathetic, it required constant reseating. Additionally the build quality on the inside was poor; the face of the case outlining the iPad screen wasn't even straight, not even flush with the pad, leaving lots of room for stuff to get stuck under the flaps. The stitching was some rubbery material that was uneven and inconsistent and it looked terrible while trying to frame the iPad. for 35£!! I traded that one in for a Griffin Elan Sleve case - although it was for iPad 1, it fits the IPad 2 pretty snugly and offers full protection on all corners and a securing strap at the top (30£.) I had to keep that one because carphone warehouse doesn't allow refunds - I like it, it looks great, but it doesnt offer the stand capability which I missed from the Belkin case. Good for securing for travel, at least my ipad now was secured in some sort of case.

So I still wanted a flip folio. I went online with the benefit of time now and browsed available cases offering the flip functionality.. ordered the BMCdigital Advanced Pro PU leather case for 20£. After recieving it, and seeing how cheap it looked with a piece of grooved plastic on the top of it (??) and frankly it looked like it was made for the iPad 1.. i sent it back for a refund. By now having spent all this money on cases and getting poor quality I realized that money doesn't necessarily translate into quality cases. Up till now none of the cases i tried even offered the auto on/off function.

I saw this case and saw that it had 5 star reviews with a super low price, and after seeing how pleased people were I pulled the trigger, tired of gambling 30£ at a time for a case. Just received it today and I need to tell you, this is a great case

Pros
- The lines are straight, tight, it fits flush with the iPad 2, the iPad 2 looks high value and high quality sitting in there
- Grip is good, no movement of the top lid
- The stitching is good, doesnt look cheap
- Front and back have cutouts in the right place, fake leather looks good, case is simple but elegant.
- VELCRO STRAP keeps this thing securely held in
- Auto on / off works great
- Sturdy stand position, really looks good in stand position, and not too much material.

Cons
- The right sides of the ipad are especially exposed to bumps and scuffs- actually all 4 corners are explosed to some degree from debris that can come in from the sides, only the front and back planes are protected so you should still be careful with this.
- You can get dust and debris coming on on the sides
- Might want to get a sleeve to go around this whole thing for traveling or putting in a bag to be sure

All in all - fantastic folio case, unbeatable price, actually would have paid 20£ for this and been happy, considering its better than many 35£ cases out there.

M. R. Greenhead "martingreenhead" (London) -

This review is from: TeckNet® iPad 2 Premium Folio Case / Cover and Flip Stand For Apple iPad 2, With Magnetic Sleep Wake Sensor Feature - Black (Electronics)

I was in 2 minds whether to get the smart cover (price sort of put me off) or the official case. But I read the reviews of the case and for a £30+ product I was very wary. I saw the Tecknet case and the reviews and thought that under a tenner it was worth a try. I needn't have worried as it is a great case with full front/back protection, neatly aligned slots and a nice flag to allow the ipad to stand high or low in landscape mode (not sure of the techy terms!). I bought 2 of these as my son really liked the look and feel of it. I would say it has a luxury leather look to it, it definitely does not look cheap.

A friend has the smart cover and was showing off how it turns the ipad on and off if you open/close it. Don't worry as this is an ipad function not the case so the Tecknet case also does this!

All in all the perfect case for what is a pretty amazing gadget. You really don't need to look anywhere else.

A+++

Customer Video Review Length:: 1:57 Mins

This is an excellent case for anyone looking for a quality, functional, attractive leather case for an ipad 2.

QUALITY: This case is well made with quality PU materials. My impression is that it will be very durable. Time will tell.

PRICE: This is a substantially better case than a similar leather case I paid £40 for.

SLEEP MODE: The cover works great at putting the ipad 2 in and out of sleep mode.

COVER FOLDS BACK: The cover also folds all the way back and lays flat. A feature sometimes lacking in other cases.

PROTECTED CORNERS: The manufacturer did a nice job of protecting the corners by slightly extending the edges out.

NO FUSS DESIGN: The case has an elegate, simple design. Case is quick to adjust.

SNUG FIT: Case fits well. The ipad 2 doesn't move. Leather stretches so I'm hoping it stays snug

SECURE: The ipad 2 appears to be very secure in the case. A fold of leather and velcro keep it secured.

BUTTON ACCESS: The case allows easy access to all of the buttons and features of the ipad2.

BORDER OF SCREEN: The case is cut back away from the screen slightly to allow easier access to the edge of the screen.

SMELL: My case arrived in great condition but did have a slight chemical odor that went away in a short period of time.

ANGLE OF ADJUSTMENTS: The angles on this case are a little too steep for my taste. The steepest angle makes the case tend to fall forward in some situations. This is a minor criticism and really just a matter of preference.

APPEARANCE: Professional, streamline, quality look. Nice enough for the board room.

Overall, a great ipad2 case.

Stops the Apple Mac getting marked up and gives that bit of protection that's really useful in a day to day household environment.

Speck Case for MAC Book Pro 15", 7 Jun 2011

Mr. S. Spickett -

This review is from: Speck Aluminum Unibody See Thru Satin for 15-inch MacBook Pro - Black (Personal Computers)

I purchased my case in February 2010 as I needed some solid protection for my Mac as I was travelling a great deal to rural areas in India. Definitely great for protection but does not fair to well in humid and hot environments. After about 3mths the skin started to peel but in all fairness the battered look, made it look less 'nickable'.

But, now, over a year later and numerous journeys, it is time to replace it for another one.

Excellent: Protection.

Poor: In warmer climates as its matt exterior scratches incredibly easy.

Great for protecting your machine, if you want to protect this cover then less great, but that is a strange decision, 16 Mar 2011

This review is from: Speck Aluminum Unibody See Thru Satin for 15-inch MacBook Pro - Black (Personal Computers)

I have been using macbooks/macbook pros for 11 years now and am on my 5th, yet I have never had a hard cover yet, I have always used soft padded cases. My early 2009 MBP just fell foul of a rather heavy-footed passenger on a flight that managed to tread on my bag and smash the screen, after which I found out my insurance did not cover it. So, given the price of replacing the screen I took out a slightly early upgrade to a new 2011 MBP. My last machine has probably done 70 or 80 flights and was mildly battered but still working perfectly. Onto the case..

Delivery: it arrived quickly but the packaging was a little battered, no problem though the case was fine, although the separators in the packaging had been knocked apart.

Fit: it is a tight squeeze to get the case on, but I consider this a good thing - the fit is really snug and it does not detract from the use of the laptop. There is no movement or play whatsoever.

Appearance: Looks smart when you first get it and you can see the glowing apple logo through the case. It does pick up fingerprints but so does the uncased laptop so no problems for me, just wipe it down. It is also more grippy than the aluminium case so you feel more comfortable carrying it.

Function: The laptop still opens fully, and all of the ports are fully available. Some reviews mention that the right angled power adaptor did not fit well originally, I am happy to say that with this model it fits just fine. The magnetic release seems not to be affected at all and the laptop opens as before and stays shut just as well.

PROS: costs about 1% of your new laptop and adds a little extra protection and security whilst adding little weight and making the machine less 'obvious'.

CONS: I have already scraped and banged it a few times and the satin cover wears quite poorly, but it does still protect the machine whilst looking a bit less pretty.

Overall: I am not sure that it would have saved me from the heavy foot screen breakage but I believe it would have helped. It has certainly saved a few scratches and scrapes and I decided to look after this laptop a little better without being precious about it. I am more than happy with this and think that any scratch on this case is better than one on the machine itself. I am giving it 4 stars because as others have mentioned it does scratch up a bit, BUT I would happily give it 5 for my own personal requirements.

Really Poorly made piece of kit., 23 Jan 2011

Che "Che" (UK) -

This review is from: DUAL 2.5 3.5 SATA eSATA IDE HDD Dock Docking Station USB US

Like another reviewer, i bought one of these off Ebay. Thinking it was a great bit of kit, and a useful addition to my PC (i have about 4 hard drives) i purchased one, with the SD card reader attached to it.

However after 1 week, the card reader part, failed. i promptly emailed the seller, to said that he would send me out a new one (not even asking for the old one back) which i was quite happy about. So i received the next one, and that worked. till about a month later. Its has now failed with the same problem. (card reader not working) instead it continues to disconnect and reconnect on my pc, causing windows 7 to play that darned trumpet sound. Rather annoying.

Additionally, the hard drive component has just now failed. So now at least one is rendered useless!!

My advice, don't buy one of these. I've had two and they are crap.

what it says... nothing more, 18 April 2011

Kiereann MachGhillieMhoire "Slaine" (Manchester UK) -

This review is from: DUAL 2.5 3.5 SATA eSATA IDE HDD Dock Docking Station USB US

It's a bit plastic so be careful you don't break it.
All the cables and leads were self explanatory. 2 minutes from start to finish.

ONE COMMENT though... the molinex power-in from the device is on a small slider which is accessed from the underside only. No-one saw fit to highlight this on the nasty single page literature sheet or by applying anything remotely visible to the underside of the device; just a friendly heads up. The holder is a thin plastic shell so don't be forcing it when an old IDE drive fails to fit into what is quite obviously the correct slot. After that the device works just like a massive USB key, taking IDE or SATA drives (tested with 40/80/400G IDE, 500G and 1T SATA drives, haven't tried the laptop HDD option or the interesting selection of external connectors yet).

Definitely in the "value for money" category.
