Review: Incase Convertible Book Case For iPad [Review]

Any such items isn’t very a book. Nevertheless it sounds like one. This can be the first time I\’ve ever liked a case that made a gadget 3x as thick, and with that extra padding, the iPad feels superb.

At launch, the iPad was noted by many to feel heavier than it looked. It\’s not that it\’s actually heavy, though – it\’s just that it\’s too heavy for fingers to grab at given a) the narrow bezel b) the thickness of the device. It\’s comparable to holding a sword by the steel instead of the beefier, handle. You have to hamfist it, reaching beyond the bezel, but you\’d risk finger printing up the screen.

Sure, the Convertible book case is functional in a basic sense-it acts as a stand. And does so better than the finicky Apple case, because it stands up without tipping over in landscape and portrait mode, and is angle adjustable to roughly 45, 60 and 80 degree inclines, in addition as the lay-it-flat 20 degree mode it really is perfect for typing on.

But back to the sophisticated benefits of thickness. The case roughly triples the thickness of the ipad, bringing it to about one inch. But that\’s the magic of it. The convertible book case is correct to its name, giving the iPad the correct thickness and texture and grip for something that heavy. It helps the iPad approximate the density ratio of a book, giving it the precise (or at the very least familiar) hand feel and volume for something of this weight. It also provides simply enough thickness with the duvet folded back that one handed reading is possible, because you\’re using the complete fist, not just fingertips to hold it in portrait mode.

The extra padding also allows me the mental security of having the ability to safely toss the iPad on beds, couches and infrequently table tops if its not too far of a drop. The case\’s thickness had me swearing to never travel with it, but I do. Because the extra padding makes it feel as in the event you can toss the iPad into a bag of sharp angular items without worry. Unless I\’m really sore for bag space, this is often the case I fly with, and keep the iPad in 95% of the time. The opposite 5%, its sitting in its dock. At no other point do I take advantage of a thinner case, nor do I wish for a thinner case.

It really is probably the best time a case has grown the size of the gadget it holds three fold, and would not make me furious. I am confused at this. But mostly pleased. But not with the cost, which at $60, is extremely a great deallots.

Score: Direct Hit
