What case is everyone rocking for their non-pro 9.7 ipad?

I have this speck case:

But the corners keep cracking despite me never dropping it. Just normal wear and tear. Speck already replaced it for me once, under warranty. Doubt they'll do it again. If they do, it will be the 3rd one I've had since April.

I don't mind spending $20-30 for a decent case w/ stand that will hold up well. Seems like Amazon is flooded with cheap-built sub $20 cases.
 
I got a case from eBay for $7. It’s okay it does the job but I wanted a keyboard case overall. Only complaints are in portrait mode only one of the positions causes it to fall over and if it’s not flat on a surface the more laid down position it falls.

you lost me at "fall over"
[doublepost=1515789561][/doublepost]oh just heard back from speck. they're replacing it, yet again. they must know these cases don't hold up every well.

i had the DuraFolio case for my ipad mini and it looked brand new after 3 years. the corners were more a rubbery material rather than the hard plastic here.
 
For a reader, watching media ...By far the best case I have found.

i know it might be a little pricey but the UAG metropolis case is the best case i have used to date. i have a UAG case for all of the IPads that i own.
