Thus, you can easily watch movies, surf the web, play apps and type a long document. In addition, it comes with soft microfiber interior, which offers protection from scratches and scrapes. The case also contains magnets that provide the same Smart Cover style lock and unlock for the slate. The case also has cutouts so that you can access your iPad's features while in the case. However, due to its portfolio style, the ZooGue iPad Case Genius case adds some bulk to the case. It comes with a price tag of $49.99.

The rear shell in made of a fabric-covered polycarbonate and has microsuede on the inside. The case offers good protection for the screen, back and the iPad edges. The case comes with textile finish and comes in Black, Mushroom, Berry, Royal Blue, Pink colors. It comes with a lid that adds to additional safety, but you need practice to thread the loop quickly. Some of the negative points of the case are: only flat typing position and no-so-stylish material on the outside. But at $39.99, it is relatively inexpensive.
