I purchased this case for my ipad2, because I wanted a case that covered the iPad completely to protect it, firstly this is a very smart looking case even though is not real leather, I should point out that you can obtain this case in leather if you wish to spend around £40, as I do not I went for this. I agree with the other reviewer that you cannot stand the iPad in the lowest position when in landscape but it will stand on the lowest position for the portrait mode , It certainly works a whole lot better than the cover which has been highly advertised by apple which I have. That case did not allow me to have the home button on the left, which was important to me as I am left handed.All in all this case is very good value for money. One star off for not standing in the lower position when in landscape.
