I purchased the official iPad case when I first purchased my iPad from PC World. After a couple of weeks I eventually ditched it, as I just didn't get on with it.

Yes, the meaning for a case is to protect. And this will do that, to some extent. However, it is so ugly! It really ruins the true beauty that comes with the iPad, just covering it up with a black rubbery material. Plus it is so easy to stain, I am really careful when using my iPad but somehow after a couple of weeks it was covered in stains and smears that were very hard to get rid of!

It has the ability to bend and support the iPad in various positions, but none of the possible positions have ever come to use of me, but they may do for you.

I regret buying this case, as it is just so ugly, an uncharacteristic move from Apple I must say! It is also priced ridiculously high (however competitors are high priced also) seeing that all it does is cover the iPad. If I had the choice again I would decline this case and go for a longer browse around as there must be better than this!
