I would give it 4 stars if not the slow shipping. Ordered the item on 4/4 and got "shipped" confirmation soon after that. However, the tracking number didn't work at all. Contacted the seller on 4/11 then finally the item was shipped on 4/12. I'm not sure if they just forgot to ship my case or what. There're no apology in the reply, not at all.

Anyway, finally got the item on 4/18, which is 4 days later than Amazon's max estimate deliver day.

The quality is ok. For the price I didn't expect too much, but the case looks nice and give a lot of support. It has a magnet lock, but it's to hold the iPad in the case instead of keep the case closed. An elastic tape was actually used to keep the case closed. I'm afraid that it won't keep too long.

The anti-glare screen protector isn't easy to apply. It's a dust magnet. I have to use tape to remove some dust here and there again and again before I can remove most dust-bubbles. Maybe it's because of my inexperience, in the end it still have 6-8 small bubbles on the screen. But if you turn it on it's hard to see.

Again this is not a $50 case and $29 screen protector. For the $8.56 I paid I have no complaint. I just don't like the seller's attitude on the shipment.

The magnet lock looks nice... but it's only used to hold the ipad instead of keep case closed... which is weird design.

There are 8 blocks on the cover (4 on top, 4 on bottom). I thought they're magnet piece for auto-on/off but they're not. It seems only provide some anti-shock buffer.
