Review on 9 7 Inch ROARTZ Slim Fit Light Weight Generation by Rob Parsons

I've had several so called "smart cases" for iPad over the years so I had a good idea of what I needed. searched. The ones I've had in the past were very similar to this one with faux leather cases and they worked really well. However, after a while, as they wear out, a lot of loose threads come off and the texture of the faux leather peels off around the edges. Let's get to this case and my first impressions. Note that I don't even have it installed on my iPad at the time of writing and I've already had some positives and negatives. The case itself appears to be quite well designed and constructed. Compared to similar MonoPrice cases of this design that I've had over the years, this one feels "well made" than this one. It feels a little heavier but not bulky. The hinged lid is nice and stiff, but malleable enough to easily fold when creating a stand. Even without the iPad, I can say that it has a much stronger magnet, which I really appreciate. When I put these cases in my backpack, the lid of my MonoPrice case often shifts, waking up the screen and making noises. Even without an iPad, the magnet sticks firmly to the case. The back, which I'm assuming is polycarbonate under a thin layer of rubberized material (which also covers the front of the lid), is solid and looks like it covers the sides and edges of the iPad well. I can see that this protects the iPad a lot from bumps and drops (but I wouldn't dare test it if I can avoid it!) On to the cons. The inside of the back does not have the same microfiber structure as the inside of the cover. This is a small point, but I've enjoyed using it in the past to protect the metal back of the iPad from accidental scratches on the case. My biggest concern is the rubberized material case, which makes up the majority of its composition. It's a MAGNET for dust, lint and oily fingerprints! I've only touched the case once or twice since I got it and again I haven't even put my iPad in it and it picks up fine lint and dust like crazy. Rubberized and silicone cases often do this — but not always. When I have sweaty palms or fingers (which I often do) it's easily tolerated and very easy to actually show, but eventually evaporates without leaving (many) traces. If my fingers get even very, very slightly oily, these marks will stick and remain visible until I physically wipe the case clean. I didn't have that with previous faux leather cases. Whether lint and fingerprint issues will make this case a deal breaker in the future remains to be seen, but it's very noticeable at the moment, even after just a day or two - more or less - of not using it. I can only use the faux leather case for comparison. It sucks because I like the construction and the look of the case. Maybe I'll just start putting stickers on it to cover up these problems. I have to say that the rubberized texture provides a bit of grip with the case, which the faux leather versions lack, which I like when two kids use the iPad with slippery fingers. Overall, the case is well made, but if you're obsessed with the looks of the case, you might want to look elsewhere.
