Marware Eco-Vue for iPad

I received this case a few days ago. It's very sturdy and has convenient features; I'm quite clumsy at times, and the hand strap in the back has made it very easy to hold with confidence. The leather is very nice and definitely not cheap looking, while the microfiber interior makes it very comfortable to hold. The edges also appear to be slightly reinforced, and would likely protect the iPad from the occasional fall (of course, I'm not about to test that theory!).

A note on magnets:
I use this with the iPad WiFi + 3G. Another reviewer mentioned problems with the magnet inside, which is used to hold the integrated stand, and recommended that this case be used only with the WiFi version of the iPad. First, a clarification: both iPads have a built-in compass, so if using the compass is extremely important to you, don't buy this case. While the magnet does interfere with the magnetometer, it does NOT interfere with the AGPS, data transmission, or cause damage to the iPad or any of its components. The iPad uses flash memory, not a traditional magnetic hard drive, so your data will be perfectly safe.
