No matter how many times the Apple iPad Case is mocked it is still a integral part of my iPad experience.

My Apple iPad Case offers me the durability a truly mobile computing experience deserves. Like a hardback book, my Apple iPad never leaves its cover. I can throw it on the bed, drop it on the floor, swing it in that air and still every angle of my iPad is protected. I don’t have to worry about my iPad the same way I worry about an unsheathed laptop sitting on a unsteady table. No matter where I go or which unstable surface I place my iPad I know it is protected by my Apple iPad Case.

The Apple iPad Case is almost as thin, and weightless as a naked iPad. The durability it offers takes nothing away from the iPad’s amazing portability. Unlike other cases which add protection at the cost of weight and cumbersome bloat my iPad is as lite and nimble as any book, and just as portable.

I first thought of the iPad as a tablet capable of producing content when I saw the transformations the Apple Case is capable of. Instead of just opening like a book suitable for reading the iPad case is capable of taking on horizontal orientation designed for typing. Sitting on a desk propped up by the cover of the Apple Case folded behind the spine I imagined answering email, writing Egg Freckles, and preparing documents using only my iPad.

The original Apple iPad Case may not have the looks, design innovations, or luxurious materials of an Apple Smart Cover, but what it lacks in exciting magnetism it more than makes up for in desirable durability.
