Hi! I recently got an Air 2, and in my hunt for the perfect case, I initially picked up a Targus Versavu case from Best Buy. I've had Versavu cases for many iPads in the past and they've always been solid performers. And I really don't have any serious complaint about the usability of the Versavu for the Air 2--it is a solid case, the stand works well and I think it will probably last quite well. My complaint is that it is huge...apparently for no purpose. You might think its size is due to its level of protection, but Targus mentions nothing about drop protection on the product packaging. Interestingly, some of their other iPad Air 2 cases have Mil Spec ratings on them, but nothing on the Versavu. So, it is huge, and kind of ugly...why?? In frustration, I got an Apple SmartCase, and there is such a difference between the cases. Where the Versavu is clunky, the SmartCase is sleek. Versavu--no sleep/wake. SmartCase--did you even need to ask? Yes, the SmartCase costs more, and probably protects less, but it is such a joy to use and makes my iPad Air 2 so beautiful. Thumbs down, Versavu!

I have a YouTube review of the two cases, here's the link:
