Maybe I was drunk at the time, I don't remember, but I bought this case on eBay. It looked interesting with the pop out stand and all, and for $12 not much to lose.

First, here is a pic in case your finger is too tired to click the link:

I received it today fresh from HK. I've bought a lot of stuff from HK sellers on eBay and usually it's decent quality. This case is not in that category. It's so cheap the items at the .99 Store would sneer at it.

Here are the major problems:

1) It's hinged on the left side and has two snaps on the right. That is all that holds it together. There is nothing on the top or bottom.

2) The frame slightly extends beyond the bezel and onto the screen area creating a magnifying effect.

3) I would not trust the stand to hold up an iPad even if it was just a paper mockup. I'd feel safer riding an elephant into a condemned building.

Bottom Line: This case isn't worth .02, shipping included. It was "only" $12, but damn if I wouldn't like to have it back. But I think of it this way, I lost my $12 so you wouldn't have to. Now go spend your $ more wisely than apparently I can.
