I just got mine today and I can safely say this is without a doubt perfect in every way.
I owned this case on the iPad mini and iPad 3rd gen so I knew what to expect coming into this one but its 6 stand mode, ability to hold it's stands in a lap environment or while in bed is a big plus. I also like that its slim and pretty lightweight.
Im waiting on The Ridge by Devicewear. I've used one of these on the iPad 2, 3 and the mini and love them...
I never used screen protectors and I've never had a scratch on any of my iDevices. So you really don't need them. Also, the screen responds better without the mostly ugly looking protectors and the naked glass surface is nicer to look at than a plastic surface.
The only way I would think of a protector is if I would use my iPad in public all the time and my work would want me to use a privacy filter to reduce the viewing angle.
I had Kavaj Berlin & KAvaj Hamburg. I loved the leather feel, however not so much a fan of the trims on the sides of the iPad. Also, don't like it that they close the case by running a thick velcro on the back of one side.
What is the main difference between the Hamburg and Berlin? Is is just that one has the 5 angle feature by putting strips on the backside of the cover?
Anyone else have input on these cases as they look pretty nice. Collectively in my top 3.
I must admit, this looks pretty good -- especially for the price.Love my Anker Ultra Slim case. Great reviews, no frills, just works.

Anything similar to this case (and this price) but lighter in weight?And at almost 9oz I don't know how they can claim Ultra Slim.
Except that it doesn't work as far as the wake/sleep function.
And at almost 9oz I don't know how they can claim Ultra Slim.
It's about 3oz heavier than the popular Poetic case.
Ahhh... good to know!I've had and used both and yes the Anker is heavier but it protects, feels and looks better. IMO
The Anker case looks good, however if you want to type it does not hold the device in a position that will let you type comfortably. There are no ridges for the different positions to slant the iPad and the rubber.
Also the clasp that closes the case looks like a hindrance especially when you are trying to read in the portrait orientation.
Neither. rooCASE Origami for $10 or lion case Folio Shield for $32.So which is the better case? Anker or Poetic ??

I just got my Devicewear Ridge today, and I really like it. It's well made and fits perfectly. It's also quite functional, with 6 different viewing angles. I had been using just a Smart Cover. The Ridge doesn't add much bulk, but does add some weight (a little over 8 oz). It's noticeable after using the Smart Cover.
I think the weight is something I would get used to; however, after reading that the new Switcheasy Canvas is under 3 oz, it's something I have to try, so I ordered one this evening. Hoping that the weight of the Canvas is listed correctly (Had a Canvas for my Ipad 2, and liked it a lot, but it was a little bulky and heavy). Always seem to be looking for that sweet spot between protection and function.
I emailed them about the weight of the SwitchEasy Canvas for the Air. they said it is 10.8oz

It's not listed correctly--customer support emailed me that its 10.8oz
Just slipped on my Devicewear Ridge. Initial impressions:
+ The viewing positions are amazing. The ridges are deep and its practically impossible to accidentally topple over the iPad, even on a bed.
+ Material feels great and I can't detect much difference in the weight
+/- The "Typing" position is great, the angle is comfortable and there is no bounce or wobble at all. However, I did notice that the front flap gets a bit warped after being in this position, I hope it stands up to extended use.
- Not liking "book mode". The microfiber is exposed and it just plain doesn't feel good in the hand.
- Its got a really strong "made in china" smell. Not a real con but always irks me regardless.
I'm very happy with it so far and I don't think I'll be looking for another case. I'm not familiar with the Devicewear brand, so I can't help but wonder how well this'll hold up over time.
Hamburg is a bit heavier because it got the 5 angle feature and an extra flap to support the feature.
I know these cases have been rated highly but I've owned 2 and returned both with older iPads because of the book mode and how the cover doesn't really fold back flat.Just slipped on my Devicewear Ridge. Initial impressions:
