I have purchased several iPad sleeves over the years, and the Herschel Anchor Sleeve is certainly one of my favorites, but is not 100% perfect. The sleeve itself looks fantastic, feels sturdy on the outside, and has a soft and silky feel on the inside, but the fit is a little snug and may not "fit" your needs.
The outside is 100% polyester and causes the sleeve to feel like it exudes protective power. I was quite surprised at how rigid and flexible it felt in all the right ways. What was even more impressive than the feel of the sleeve, was the actual look of it. They have done a tremendous job at making this product look like an expensive sleeve built for fashion. If you have a gold iPad Air/ Air 2, then this sleeve is the perfect complement to it. Just look at the images provided...how good does that look? A++ on that front.
The fleece lining on the interior of the sleeve feels premium, looks great with the candy cane accents around the zipper, and is perfect for keeping your iPad beautiful all around. You won't have to worry about gaining small scratches, smudges, or signs of wear from the inside of this sleeve, and I bet you'll find yourself just simply rubbing the interior. No seriously, you will.
If you just have an iPad and nothing else, this sleeve is absolutely perfect...5 stars...look nowhere else...but, if you have an Apple Smart Cover, case, keyboard, or any accessories (cables, dongles etc.) that you'd like to store within the case as well, you may want to find something a little larger and more practical. As you can see in one of the photos I took, even with just an Apple Smart Cover attached to the iPad Air 2, the fit becomes extremely tight. It becomes difficult to zip it around the corners, and you have to push the iPad in with a little force while slightly lifting the zipper to make sure that you miss the corners of the iPad. There has not been any wear marks or scuffs that have shown up on the iPad yet, and I am hoping that it stays that way, but the sleeve is just a little bit too tight when there is more than just the iPad inside of it for me to call it a perfect fit. It also has no extra pouch or room for any other accessories, which is fine, but not the most practical sleeve in the world.
Overall, I have been highly impressed with this sleeve so far and will continue to use it as my daily source of protection and storage for my iPad Air 2. If you are looking for a fashionable, sturdy, and snug iPad Air/Air 2 sleeve, then this is your product.
