Like another reviewer I waited for a while for this to be released for the ipad 2. However, frankly it is just rubbish. There is a lot of protection provided to the back of the ipad, but I can't see the point in this really as there is not much there in need of protection. The front part of the case detaches and has a stand inside which can be opened up to hold the ipad up right, but when collapsed and the cover put back on the ipad it actually looks like it could cause damage to the screen of the ipad if a force was applied to it, which seems to be a design flaw. Also there is just too much rubber everywhere which causes the case to come apart a little if not careful. Otterbox make a great case for the ipod touch 3rd generation which has a great screen protector built in which lets you use the touch interface without problems. I can't understand why they did not use that technology in this case. I have dismissed many reviews on amazon in the past which say "don't get this" but honestly, do yourself a favour and spend much less on one of the p-leather cases which have a cover built in which folds over the screen, it'll provide your ipad 2 with much more protection.
