Review on 📱 Targus 3D Protection Case for Apple iPad with Slim TriFold Stand Cover, Multi-Angle Viewing - Black (THZ635GL) by Marcus Freeman

I've had this case for 1 year 5 months, no signs of wear. I still give it a 5, but a few notes: 1. At 10 ounces, it's hard to make a meaningful addition to the 16 ounce iPad Air 2.2. I haven't taken it apart, but the weight and stiffness suggest there is steel in the rubber. It's too heavy even for aluminum.3. It's not a small burden, but compared to every other case on the market, it offers protection not only from falls, but also from bumps. There seems to be no other case that fully covers the screen when closed and yet has a shockproof design.4. Polyurethane rubber is solid, not foamed, which also adds to the weight. Some alternative cases have multiple layers, alternating soft/hard, which can offer better impact protection - as long as nothing hits the screen. If I could find one that included a flip screen cover, I'd probably buy it instead.5. This case is unique in that there are no external holes such as B. A hole on the back to show the Apple logo. When closed, it is almost completely buttoned.6. I hold the iPad in my hands over the hard floor. This case is almost perfect for heavy use but a little heavy for gentle users. It depends heavily on what's important to you: fragile screen exposure or edge protection. --- -- ------------------------ A little background. I won an iPad Air 2 as a beta tester. I'm not an "Apple Man". I prefer the broader individual Android/Microsoft choices. I've noticed that many Apple owners, intrigued by the physical qualities of Apple devices, don't want to "cover" the Apple device with something truly protective. Thus, the market is flooded with attractive, revealing tome covers that are of little protective value. I'm immune to it. If I'm in a place without a mat, like on a train or in a public place, I don't want my devices to rely on vigilance to survive. An iPad with glass that extends to within 1 millimeter at edges and corners is a disaster awaiting. So my choice fell between a durable, shockproof case like the Otterbox or Pelican, a useless folio case, or the Targus. It's not exactly the equivalent of a hard case, but it does take effort. The durable impact case is made of two materials that increase volume, a hard outer shell and a softer inner lining. However, due to the lack of screen cases, most of these cases do not offer protection against unforeseen hazards, such as keys scratching the screen. The Otterbox is an exception, but it adds a lot of bulk and attaching/removing the screen cover is an operation. The Targus offers all the convenience of a folio case, but is constructed of two materials like a durable, impact-resistant case. Soft material, polyurethane, outside. Structural polyurethane is a high quality plastic used in machine shops for fixtures. Structural rigidity is provided by a polyurethane/polycarbonate inner layer. The lid latch is a flap with a magnet that flips out toward the back of the case, which is much more secure than a magnetic latch that doesn't flip out. Targus conforms to US military standard MIL-STD-810G. equivalent to a 4 foot drop onto concrete. Based on my research, there is no reason to doubt it. It's not synonymous with a durable, shockproof case like the Otterbox, but it's actually handy for everyday use. Since it has an integrated screen cover, no screen protection is required. It still fits in my pocket, fully protects against scratches, maximizes volume and weight, and is just as comfortable to use as a bookshelf.
