I purchased the green version, and it is so funky and interesting just to look at. The edges are stiff, so it provides good protection for the device. I bought mine for the new iPad. There are four, orange plastic brackets in the center that hold your iPad in place. They can also be repositioned (they are attached with velcro) to fit a Kindle or smaller tablet. The interior is lined in black felt with extra padding for the screen. The combination of the green edge, the black interior, and the orange brackets make it look interesting even when it is open. The zipper functions smoothly with two large plastic coated pulls, and the entire case appears to be well constructed. The bubbles on the front and back actually act as both a design element and as another layer of protection for the device. The outside material is a close knit, smooth, nylon tweed material with a slight shimmer. When closed the case is slim enough to fit easily in a medium sized handbag or tuck inside the pocket of a laptop bag. The wrap around zipper ensures it won't fall out of the case and makes for easy removal. I liked this so much that I suggested this case to my employer for our sales team. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it's supposed to and looks good too :) *by F***Y on February 14, 2012* I got this a little bit after I received my new iPad2 on Christmas, and it definitely works as expected. It does take a little time to get the ipad in and out of the rubbber corner thingies. Like if you have a smartcover, it fits perfectly, but to open the smart cover you need to get it out of the rubber corners. You can take the rubber corners out, but then the protection for your ipad won't be as good. you can adjust the rubber corners to wherever you want; they are velcro on the bottom to attach to the case. There are no defects, everything works as it should.I got the hot pink color, and I really like it only I brought it to some parks with me and now the top of each bubble on the case is dirty. I'm fine with that though. I don't know why people complain about the surface not being flat; I think that makes is unique and it provides better protection for the ipad.I have brought my ipad in this cover on many airplane flights, and carry it in my tennis bag all of the time. I don't worry that it will be damaged when it's in this case, though I have never dropped it and don't plan to!This case is a bit bulky, and is not a normal sleeve. A normal sleeve doesn't provide as much protection, but it is easier to get the ipad in and of it. I was looking for a sleeve that didn't provide much protection, just a bit to make sure I didn't cringe whenever I set the ipad down on it's metal back. But I'm glad I purchased this product instead becase it provides great protection and is still a lot prettier and much more protable than a laptop! ### ⭐ Case has changed, buyer beware!! NO customer service, whatsoever! *by S***C on June 18, 2014* I'm having to completely redo my review of this product. I originally loved it, but that has unfortunately gone downhill.First off, the zipper pull lettering began to wear off almost immediately. Whatever, not such a big deal. But just after I posted my review, it broke in half. So I sent it for return via Amazon (thank goodness I bought from Amazon instead of the maker).When I got the returned product, it was now different with no mention of the change and even contradictory packaging. They have now changed the bumper style to some difficult, even impossible-to-deal-with slotted bumper you have to slide your iPad in and out of every time. The packaging still shows the old open bumper style. Or maybe they think you are just going to keep the iPad in this monstrosity of a case. That you can't fold back easily. So every time you use your iPad in this you are just supposed to now have the equivalent of a huge book open? Or mess with trying to slide out of four bumpers? STUPID. STUPID. STUPID. I LOVED the old style case and it was my go-to solid protection daily driver. If they think I'm going to sit there and mess around with this moronic slotted bumper when I used to be able to toss my iPad in there and zip up in seconds, they're completely out of touch with their customer. Which is no surprise after I got done dealing (or trying to) with what passes for their customer service.I really wish I had kept the old open bumper style and just returned the case. But wait, I thought! Could it be that I could just contact these guys and ask for some help with this? Surely a boutique case maker like this would be glad to help out a customer. NO. In fact, after several emails with NO response, I finally decided to call their "help line". Let me just save you the trouble, they don't HAVE a phone line. They have VOICE MAIL. That's right, you will talk to no live person when you call. You will immediately find yourself leaving a message. Guess what - yup - NO ONE calls back.So, this case gets one star from me for actually being a good case, but no more than that for a completely unfriendly redesign and ABYSMAL, no wait, NONEXISTENT customer service. I would like to be able to say their customer service was bad, but that would require actually having interfaced with them. Bravo Hard Candy, you found a way to maximize customer service efficiency.
