I received my Harber London 10.5" iPP sleeve after an almost two-week wait ... the longest time I've had to wait for any of their products. Unlike my two MBP sleeves, this item was routed through US Customs in Jamaica, New York, which may account for the delay. Having lived there, I realize many folks work when they want to.

The sleeve is certainly more substantial than the Apple version, and the Pencil loop is a nice feature. I can slide the iPP in and out with Smart Cover on and the Pencil remains in place. As far as I'm concerned, that's an 'elegant' solution.

The color is a spot-on match with my two navy blue notebook sleeves. The felt lining is an acquired taste, but I think it provides a little more protection for my iPP. It's certainly not 'puffy' and the sleeve is, like their other products, well-made.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I’m definitely going to order one of these. Debating between navy blue and black colour.
 
I ordered the apple sleeve when I bought my 12.9 pro and immediately returned it when I received it. It is the most overpriced piece of trash they have tried to shove down our throats. I could not believe how flimsy it was and how it simply couldn't provide get protection because of this. I have since found a vegan leather alternative on Amazon for $18, and while it's not as stylish, it allows me to carry my iPad in a bag and not worry about it. That's what I needed it for. I didn't need something to carry around and let people see a logo on the back so they know I'm carrying an iPad.

Expensive - yes... piece of trash - not at all

Just my opinion, lol. I'm an self admitted apple fanboy, but I'll call them out, I am not afraid. I don't just follow for the sake of following. It's one of the worst products I have seen them sell. When you factor price for what you're getting. It is THIN and FLIMSY, iPad fits in sleeve loosely, and plus I've heard their practice with how they get their leather is less than ideal (for humane purposes)

Yeah it’s too bad. I really like the look and style of the case, but then I watched a video review online and was totally turned off by the flimsy build.
