Moleskine Ipad case -mini review-

renderpimp — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 05:16:52 +0000

I’ve had my Ipad for over a year and in that time I’ve bought several cases, but none of them felt right for me. the last case was the DODO case which is hand crafted from the states. This was expensive and nice for the eyes, but I was always worried about the glue becoming unstuck due to over use. I use my Ipad daily and needed a case that would handle that. Well while looking around for a kindle case I spotted a Moleskine kindle case and then an Ipad one. I instantly fell for it. I have used Moleskine sketch books and notebooks for years so I was already a fan of the brand. They sell for £65 direct from their site. I found a shop on ebay that was selling one for £39.99, so went for that one .

It arrived and I wasn’t disappointed with the purchase.

I placed the Ipad in its place and fitted nice and tight. the case holds the ipad all the way around securely with the same material as the outer of the case and its stitched to give you peace of mind. Some cases like this only hold the Ipad in the corners.

Also the case comes with a Volant Notebook, which is a good bonus. I have looked on the site for replacement pads and can’t see the one needed to fit the case so will have to look into that further, as I want to know how much it will cost to replace.
So in conclusion I am in love with this case and if you love your Moleskine books and have an Ipad then you need to get this case. It might not be the slimmest case on the market, but in my hands it feels solid. The stitching, the little material tongue (flap) that is the final stage of fitting the Ipad into the case ( which imho isn’t needed but I’m pleased it was added because it shows quality and attention to detail), the notepad. Everything about this case pleases me. Well that’s about all I can say about it, if it falls apart in the next few months I shall update the post
