I got my iPad on UK release day and had no choice but to get the official Apple case (Its a £400 plus device so immediate protection is a must and the Apple case conveniently was the only case available - I'm sure a lot of early buyers fell into the same trap). But after a couple of days of use (with the official case) I had a few gripes...
1. It gets dirty, quick... A dust magnet, you'd rest the iPad on a clean table and come away with annoying smudges and from time to time blemishes develop which you can not account for (how did that get there???!)
2. Although it has some nice features (slim, good grip, Apple logo) it covers up the aesthetics of the iPad, like the black and silver bezel...
3. Taking the iPad out of the case is a long and protracted affair, you have to squeeze and pull across the corners of the case whilst at the same time ensuring you don't get carried away and scratch or crack the device...
This case alleviates all of the above, it does not stain easily,and actually it just looks better. The case looks like a portfolio, and if need be you could take this to meetings and look good in the process. The case offers great protection and has a good size and weight to it (with the case on the iPad is not that heavy or bulky). What I love most about this case is that the iPad is more accessible than with the official case, its held in by elasticated bands in the corners which means it can be taken out in seconds which also means you can see the iPad in full (I paid a lot of money for this device so I think its only fair that I can see the design in full rather than use a case that covers up everything but the screen). Lastly the case can easily be manipulated to use as a landscape or portrait stand, a feature I was not expecting and appreciate not to mention the iPad looks more secure stood up with the Griffin Case on than with the official Apple case (I wouldn't risk that). This would have been a 5 star case had it not been for the next couple of points:
1. The absence of real leather - but then again this would have ramped up the price in any case and the case still looks great anyway.
2. Whichever way you lodge the iPad in a couple of buttons or locks are covered... With the set-up I have the elasticated corners cover the rotation lock and part of the speaker, but its no big deal as I rarely use the speakers and the bands have enough slack to pull down and get access to the rotation lock...
3. There is no mechanism for elevating the ipad to a 45 degree angle in landscape mode to improve typing speed. This is the main plus point of the apple case, but in hindsight I don't think my typing is that much slower without this feature (I'm comfortably typing up this review with the case on) and if you are going to be typing on a regular basis or use the iPad as a laptop replacement you should just get the keyboard dock or wireless keyboard...
Other than that its a great case and for me much better value for money than the Apple case. Definitely recommend one.

This is a good case, looks professional and business like and would definitely protect the ipad. The addition of card holders is good and it's nice having the place to store slips of paper.
My only complaints would be that the leather straps that hold each corner of the ipad into the case cover up the rotate lock and screen lock buttons which can be really annoying, especially if you read books on your iPad. The other thing is that the leather stitching on the inside of the cover flap could possibly scratch the glass of the iPad so it would be worth getting a screen protector.

Amazon Verified Purchase
This seems to be the best case. High build quality and it is very quick and easy to remove the ipad from this case. Although the power button is covered by one of the straps you can still use it by pressing on the strap itself. Recommended.

good product
Great, cheap product and it looks professional. It also has card holders which I probably wouldnt use. On the negative side I had to wait over 3 weeks for the product.
