Apple's iPad case is the best after all...

Yes, very similar. Highly recommended for protection.
PS Also found a great seller on ebay who is selling an awesome case that fits the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard like a glove. It adds nothing to the size of the keyboard...fits like a glove...Now, I won't feel so bad about jamming it in my bag.
Looked at your first link. Sorry but for me that looks like a cheap plastic washbag or toilet bag. And avoid zips categorical because they can scratch the iPad's body and maybe the glass even when the zips are made of plastic!
Crap. Completely crap.
Then don't get one, skippy.
Besides you are dead wrong on every point. To be honest, I feel that your last line ("Crap. Completely crap.") applies more aptly to your post than to describe the Zeroshock.
Exactly how does it scream " I have an Ipad inside me"?
Are you referring to the very subtle apple logo on the front?
I just love these posts!

Exactly! I was thinking the aame thing. I guess NOBODY would EVER be able to figure out on their own that you had an iPad (or some valuable electronics) in there WITHOUT that Apple logo...ROFLMAO...You are so right.
Apple's iPad case is a joke, design only with pure profits in mind. Think about it, that case costs under $1 to make in China, and they sell it for how much?
Sharp edges, collects dirt and dust ... being a """Design Company""" they could of done much much better.
No, the truth is for 99% of users, Apple's case is better than 99% of the aftermarket cases out there. And that's a big threat to the makers of all those crap cases.
I have a love / hate feeling about the Apple case. Overall I prefer to use the iPad at home without any case but when out of the house I wouldn't feel safe without a case. The Apple one is a good mix of functionality and small issue. I love the grip from the material but hate the material otherwise. Never seen anything that collects dust, fingerprints, etc... like this thing can. It drives me insane in that aspect.
And for those complaining about the "sharp" edges, are you serious? It's a rubber like material, it will bend before it cuts anything. The edges on the iPad itself are sharper than the case.

I'm here to bring pleasure.Honestly, yes, it's the Apple logo. And maybe it isn't screaming but rather talking loudly. In my opinion the logo is a little more than subtle.
The iPad is a hot device - we all know it - and while the Apple case is a nice case I am of the opinion that if someone didn't already know what was inside the case the Apple logo will definitely give them the answer.
I don't like cases, so I got this Belkin Sleeve: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=510008
Much better simple and effective against bumps and scratches!

Don't mind Shinigami301... it's the kool-aid talking.
No, it's 200000+ air miles in 22 countries over 5 months. It's experience talking.
Experience yes... with the Apple kool-aid.
Seriously, the Apple case has a variety of flaws. They may not bother you but they are flaws nonetheless. By no objective measure can the claim be made that it is better than 99% of the cases for 99% of iPad owners. You like it, that's fine... nobody is trying to convince you NOT to like it.
the apple case is indeed the best case available. if you are looking for protection from drops then you shouldn't own an ipad. would you be looking for laptop cases that protect them from drops? Don't drop your stuff.
The Apple case nearly completely obscures the iPad speakers. The seamed edge interferes with operation of the volume rocker. The case material shows the skin oil of fingerprints more than most other cases. The case partially covers the front glass which traps dust and other particles that will actually INCREASE the possibility of scratches and scuffs. There are many cases available that do not suffer from those issues.
Totally agree - I dont see why some people are getting agitated when people criticise the official case. It has some major flaws - its a great design ruined by poor implementation.
My god. Everyone has their own opinions and their preference in cases. Apple's iPad case isn't a bad case and they chose to make it from that certain material that gets dirty quick but also can get cleaned easily too, so just don't get it if you don't like it.
As for that sharp edges, they don't bother me at all. Maybe I'm not that sensitive. Most brand name cases out there are made cheaply (in cost) and retail for way more, so why even bother?

It's actually quite entertaining.
