Unfortunately I ordered the wrong model for my iPad, through no fault of the seller, because this really is a lovely case! The patterns and slight embossing give it a really rich, quality feel and look. My favourite part has to be the textured inside design, especially as I expected there to be less attention paid to the inside, but it's equally as beautiful.

Examining the section that goes around your iPad, no visible glue or markings can be seen and you can tell from pulling it that it's well built and sturdy.

The cover is magnetic and also 'smart' which means it wakes and sleeps the device, a feature I look for in any serious case contender.
