I purchased this case from Amazon because of the low price and to give me some time to find a better one for travel. The fit and grip that this case provides are great. It doesn’t provide that much protection from drops or anything major, but I use it around the house and it’s perfect. The biggest benefit in my opinion is the added grip that the hard silicon feeling material gives. If You’re typing with the iPad on your leg it stays in place much better than without it.
If you are putting the iPad in a briefcase with other stuff this case might not be the best, but for casual use it’s perfect.

It only took about a week from when I ordered to receive it. I pulled it out of the envelope it came in and put it on. Fits perfect! Nice and snug, and provides for extra grip that the iPad really needed since anyone who has one knows the back is slippery.
Fit perfect and aligned with the holes on the iPad perfectly. I’m glad I didn’t go to the apple store and $40 for this.

I had purchased a case for my iPhone in December that was made of this same flexible material. It isn’t rubbery like a silicone case, but not rigid like the hard plastic cases either. I’ve dropped my iPhone a few times, and did just notice that my case has a slight crack in the top corner. But it is plastic, it’s not indestructible. And it did its job… the phone isn’t damaged.
I would expect the same sort of performance from this iPad case. It seems to be of decent enough quality, especially for the money. Based on that, I gave it 5 stars. Sure, I’d rather have an Incipio Feather case, but at the time of my purchase, they were only available for pre-order, and at 3.5 times the cost of this case.

Apple iPad Blue Diamond Premium Crystal TPU Silicone Skin Case
I have a leather case for ipad. My friend told me that TPU material is cool. So I bought this one to try out.
This hard silicone like case is pretty cool. Very light, good hand feels and cool wave design. It is also convenient to carry
And, it is much cheaper than the leather one.
CTCStore shipped the item on the same date of my ordering. Good service!!

When I first ordered this case, I didn’t pay any attention for the fact that it is made out of silicone. So it is a soft(rubbery) case. I’ve gone to Fry’s, Micro Center, Best Buy, and Apple Stores but I couldn’t really find one that I particularly like. I wanted something like Speck case for macbooks, which are hard cases. But when I saw the deal Amazon had for this case at $9.95 (original retail price $39), I though I may as well try it out. From the pictures, it looks like a hard case. But when I did receive it, I found out that it’s a soft case. I was really disappointed.
BUT (a big but heh), once I manage to fit it to my iPad which fits snugly. I ended up liking it and I was so glad that I had the case. The gloss of the silicone makes it look very chic. The design in the back is quite nice as well. I like the transparency of it. You still can see the apple logo in the back. And the best part of it is it fits so well that it doesn’t seem to add much thickness to the iPad itself. It makes the iPad grips better in your hands.
Although it may not give the maximum protection if you drop it. It does give enough protection to the back if the iPad which is the part that scratches the most. The glass part of the iPad (which is the same glass as iPhone) is very durable itself. So, in my opinion the case gives enough protection for it to be light and easy to handle. You may want to consider to buy an iPad sleeve if you travel with it a lot. Other than that, I think this case works and looks fantastic.
PROS: chic, snugly fit, doesn’t add much thickness to the iPad itself, looks great and feels great, easy to put on and take off
CONS: soft case (which can also be good), doesn’t have front coverage/protection
ps. I uploaded several pics to show what the case looks like when it’s on the iPad. The pics also show how it fits around the volume control and the charging dock. You can see how the iPad doesn’t look bulky at all with the case on.
