Marware Eco-Vue for Apple iPad

Review

I received this Marware Eco-Vue case a few days ago. It's very sturdy and has convenient features; I'm quite clumsy at times, and the hand strap in the back has made it very easy to hold with confidence. The leather is very nice and definitely not cheap looking, while the microfiber interior makes it very comfortable to hold. The edges also appear to be slightly reinforced, and would likely protect the iPad from the occasional fall (of course, I'm not about to test that theory!).

A note on magnets:

I use this with the iPad WiFi + 3G. Another reviewer mentioned problems with the magnet inside, which is used to hold the integrated stand, and recommended that this case be used only with the WiFi version of the iPad. First, a clarification: both iPads have a built-in compass, so if using the compass is extremely important to you, don't buy this case. While the magnet does interfere with the magnetometer, it does NOT interfere with the AGPS, data transmission, or cause damage to the iPad or any of its components. The iPad uses flash memory, not a traditional magnetic hard drive, so your data will be perfectly safe.

Product Description

The Eco-Vue offers a stylish eco-leather folio that helps protect your iPad. A unique and innovative hand strap design allows you to fold back the cover and securely grip the device during usage – a feature not offered in other cases or covers. The Eco-Vue opens like a book, and the elastic strap keeps the folio closed while the foldover tab inside helps keep the iPad from slipping out. A foldaway display stand rounds out a broad array of features provided in a single case solution. What's so great about eco-leather? The tanning process used to make this leather uses less toxins than traditional leather tanning. This minimizes toxic runoff into the ground and water tables. Throughout the entire process, the leather remains RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. No chlorine, no sulfuric acid, and no petroleum/chemical based dyes. This is real leather, without the environmental impact of standard tanning and dying processes.
