My case mod gone awry. Kathy says it's because I can't cut a straight line with scissors.I've got the Apple brand case for my iPad. Overall, I like the look and feel of it. What I don't like is the fact that I have to take the iPad out of the case to use it with the keyboard dock. So, I followed the guidelines for an iPad case mod, but my final results aren't very pretty. It looks like a craft project gone wrong. And Kathy says that for the time being, I have to live with the consequences of my actions—even if they're embarrassing.
Anyway... here's what I'd like in an actual case for my iPad. I've seen all of these elements individually, but nothing yet that has them all:
- The portfolio style of the Apple case. I like the folding cover. Not only do I feel like I'm closing a book, but more importantly, I'm protecting the screen.
- Easy access to the bottom port for use with the keyboard dock. This could be accommodated either by a little trap door that flips up on the case or by making it easy to remove the iPad from the case. The Apple iPad case is not easy to remove.
- The ability to fold the case under for typing at an angle. For the times when I don't have my keyboard dock, I'd like to be able to fold the case underneath to put it at an angle just like the Apple case. But I'd want it to be more stable than the folding case from InCase.
- Pockets in the cover. I've seen some portfolio cases with pockets in the cover. I'd like that for business cards and perhaps a notepad. But this also means an extra layer of protection against the screen of the iPad. I wouldn't want the paper fibers in business cards or a notepad scratching my screen over time.
So, does anyone know of a case like this? If so, please point me in the right direction.
