UAG Case, MD: Cases

tl;dr - buy, use, love and when the time comes, give him the Viking burial he deserves. I bought the same suitcase over three years ago and there is a reason I will buy it again. I bought my first suitcase when I entered medical school because of the iPad we were given. I used it almost exclusively in medical school for study, note-taking, etc., so it definitely got a lot of use. I have absolutely no complaints about this case. It's extremely durable and I'm sure it's saved my iPad more times than I think. The reason I decided to buy another is because the material where the front valve meets the rear is worn and probably nice. is about to break, which will completely kill the entire "self-sufficient" function. However, I'm not entirely sure if this is normal wear and tear as my then 1 year old and now 4 year old would put unnecessary stress on the joint and make it quite brittle. At the moment the first case is still in use. (I reinforced the crease/joint with popsicle sticks and tape. Sort of like a splint). I doubt that my experience with this case, and with the UAG materials in general, is unique. I've covered some things in UAG cases. It has gotten to the point that whenever I get something new and need a case, the first thing I look for is a UAG case.

Pros
  • Oversized tactile buttons and easy access to buttons and ports
Cons
  • Angry
