Folio style cases with notebook

Hi,

I currently have an iPad 2 with smart cover. I want to use the iPad 2 more at work in meetings for taking notes, either using a stylus and app like noteability or by typing using Evernote.

At the moment I don't seem to be able to break away from my traditional notepad and pen when going to meetings, therefore i am looking for a folio filofax type case that comes with a notebook and pen holder that I can put my iPad and smart cover in and take this along with me. I will be more likely to turn the iPad on and use it in the meetings if it is with me (along with pen and paper).

I would ideally like to be able to quickly and easily remove the iPad from the folio so when I am at home I don't have to sit with the folio on my lap when using it. Even better if it is compatible to store the iPad + smart cover in the folio.

I have come accross the following:-

This looks perfect but don't know if it's too big. Also read a review that it's quite cheap. Also they don't seem to be available anymore??

The other I keep going back to is the booqPad:-

I prefer the look and style of this one but getting the iPad in and out seems maybe a little too much effort and there is no option to use smart cover or type in landscape.

Are there any others out there that you know will fit my requirements?

I look forward to your feedback.

Thanks

 

That incase looks like a good fit for what I am after. Shame the price is sooo high.

Does anyone know if you can get these in the uk???

Would you recommend the suede or leather?

How easy to the iPad clip in and out?

Thanks for pointing this one out.

 

Nice Xmas present to yourself. Thanks for pointing the bit out about the pen. Do you keep one in there anyway?

Does an a5 notepad fit well?

I did read a review about the suede one saying it gets marked easily so think this was swaying me to the leather but can't decide

Just followed the order process through to get the delivery price. Does $25 sound about right ?

Would you be willing to send me the dimensions?

How long did delivery take?

If you were to purchase again would you go for the suede or leather again?

Do you find you can take it to meeting and use it in the case? I want to be able to type notes and so write notes using stylus, whilst still having notepad and pen for those times you need it...

What would be the main selling points for this case over the booqpad?

Slrry for all the questions.. Thanks for your feedback so far,and an excellent recommendation..

 

Oh and one more question...

Does it prop up in landscape mode or is it just available in portrait mode?

 

Excellent feedback. Thanks for answering my questions. I will let you know what I decide.

I would appreciate the dimensions if you could send them when you are back.

Regards
Mark
