It's about a week so far using this and it will give you muscles carrying this around due to the weight. Hahahaha! No seriously though, it isn't all that bad. I know that this is a big turn-off for most people who prefer to keep the pristine lightweight look of the iPad so it's obvious that this is not a case for you.
In addition, I know that the silicone base material they used that is a DUST magnet is another turn-off but honestly, it isn't all that bad as well. I have used it this past week and I barely really noticed it "dirty". It does attract dust/dirt but I guess that's the nature of the material they decided to use.
The pro's with this material on the other hand is the ability to give you a good grip on your iPad. Holding this gives you great confidence that it's not going to slip out of your hand.
Other than that, it's my primary case over the Speck Candy Shell at the moment. I do have the Dodocase and Otterbox Defender case coming. I think for the time being, I'm covered in every environment possible. Hahaha...
Anyway, I just wanted to point out some of the better points about the case. I think like a a bad movie with high expectations going into it, this was the case with the case (no pun intended
) After playing with it for the past week, I actually like it...not the weight of course.
The dust magnet material I guess doesn't bother me as much as fingerprints on the screen, functionally, I hardly noticed it.
