I've had a lot of these cases and this one feels and feels like the others. It offers protection against accidental falls from a short distance and definitely serves as a stand for viewing the screen instead of holding it up. I like the ability to rotate the tablet and use it horizontally as well. However, in my experience, they don't last very long. The edge starts to peel and separate from the case, which doesn't look good but also loses some protection on the corners of your iPad. So far that hasn't happened with this case, but since I've only had it for a few days it would be odd if it did. I also don't like that it's actually a case for the iPad Air and not specifically for the Air 2. It works, but the cutouts aren't specific to the Air 2, so I played around with the volume and lock buttons a bit. Don't get me wrong, you can still use them, they're not blocked and neither is the camera, but they're not quite in the right place if you're used to being made specifically for the Air2. The pattern on the case is beautiful and the colors match the photos in the listing. Again not qualitative, but consistent and beautiful.
