Review on ESR Yippee Smart Case for iPad Air 2 - Synthetic Leather, Lightweight, Translucent Frosted Back, Magnetic Cover with Auto Sleep/Wake - Mint Green by Ivan Brown

I just got a new iPad for my birthday and after years of using my old iPad 2 I was so happy I finally got an iPad Air! I've been a long-time iPad user and user of Apple products, and while I love the Apple brand for my devices, their accessories tend to be overpriced, and for the money they just don't measure up. My latest smart case from Apple fell apart after being used for a year or two - assuming it got a lot of use, but for $80 I expect it to last as long as the iPad it holds. I use my stuff, but I don't treat them roughly like my kids :) So when it came time for a new iPad and a new case, I just couldn't spend $70 or $80 at the Apple Store and figured I would Try it. The price of $13 is very reasonable. The cut-outs for the charger, speaker and camera are perfectly matched. Although the volume buttons are hidden, they are just as easy to use as without the case. This case stands well on its own and offers good keyboard tilt when I'm typing with an iPad on my lap. I'm really glad I bought this case. I'm curious to see how it holds up over time but to be honest if I live in it for a year I think it will be worth the money spent!
