    I really love this case. I found a Bluetooth keyboard for it that folds in half and I have all of my textbooks on my iPad in E-book format. I use it for my notes and I use it to play games. I use it ever single day for college. I was going to get a laptop case, but after spending 110 to fix my iPad screen i wanted to make sure that I never had to pay another penny for it again. For me, this case is an investment for something that will be useful to me long term. I think that with this case, I will never have to fix it again unless somebody’s takes it and tries to ram it against their knee. It certainly wont break when I drop it. ANYWAYS, enough raving. Let’s get to the pros and cons.Pro’s:-Has a stand that also has multiple positions. It’s portable and the iPad can be used with or without it, without having to detach the case. I had a simple blue and unproductive folio case and i like this much better due to being able to have it in multiple positions and know my iPad is protected.-has raised edges on all sides so that if it lands face down, it won’t be the floor itself that breaks the screen-the rubber around the case really seems to be able to handle impactCons:-I think it would be nice to have some sort of handle on the iPad, which I may have to purchase separately. With the stand attached, its a little more slick than if I just had the otterbox alone.-you trade sleekness for functionality, but I personally dont mind. It makes me feel secure knowing my 400$ electronic is protected.- I personally hate cases that come with pre-attached screen protectors and so I removed mine and placed a glass screen protector on the iPad itself. This prevents anything from being caught underneath the screen protector which would bug me. It also means that you wont need to take the case apart to clean underneath the screen protector.For me, this case is strictly to protect my iPad from shattering once again. iPad charges 250$ to fix screens and that seemed absurd to me. I fixed it through my local computer guy and bought protection with a keyboard for less than 250$. I wish i had done so sooner and saved the money in the first place, but theres no point in crying about spilt milk. This case is worth every penny, even with the extra work of removing the screen protector.
