Heres a quick review of a cheap Monoprice case for the Ipad.
I already have a Power Support screen protector on my Ipad but wanted something that would protect the back and sides (perhaps even adding a bit of grip for reading). I found quite a few covers (Griffen, Belkin, etc.) but didnt want to spend $20-$30. So, I decided to order a couple Monoprice cases and, at $5.22 each, figured I had little to lose.
I ordered a clear case and a glossy black version and Im very impressed by both.
PROS:
+ Inexpensive.
+ Perfect fit. The edges wrap around the Ipad and cover a few millimeters of glass (overlapping my screen protector) and protect all exposed aluminum and the rubber seal. Back of Ipad cover is properly tapered and wraps around the back perfectly. Case doesnt slide around, edges sit firmly around glass, etc.
+ No odor. Some of the cheaper cases tend to have a very strong plastic smell. These have none.
+ Perfect port alignment. All openings are well sized and accurately-placed. Power button and volume rocker are completely covered but the plastic does not prohibit use.
+ Very nice texture. Slightly glossy but not sticky. Clear model is perfectly transparent.
CONS:
- Pretty basic look, not very sexy.
- Port openings, while accurate, are not precision cut (you may find a little tab of plastic hanging off that you can remove).
