I love my iPad. And I always keep a fairly new model. I just bought the latest model announced this month. So I immediately looked for the Zugu iPad cover but it was not yet out and I did not see any press release on when it might be released so I looked at the various other covers. So I selected this cover since it has many of the “must have” features of the zugu…and it was a bit less $$. I just hoped it was the same high quality as zugu. I am rough on my iPads and I need a cover that can take the abuse. I use it 8-10-hrs/day and prop it up a bazillion different ways. This new cover does look/act, for the most part, like a Zugu. If I had to guess, this company used the Zugu as their guide. What do I like about this version? I like that it is very close to the Zugu design. I like that it is a bit cheaper in cost (but it is also made more cheaply). It also has a feature where I can flip the iPad from landscape mode to portrait mode but I have not used that a bit, preferring/requiring landscape mode for my needs. I have a need for landscape mode once every few years. What do I not like about it? Primarily it just seems cheaply made. The tactile feel that I get with Zugu is better, less plastic and more leathery. Do not get me wrong, it is far, far better than 95% of the iPad cover choices out there but Zugu sets a high std and this one just seems a bit underwhelming compared to the Zugu. I also hate that the new Apple pro pencil falls out of the ipad case’s “charging station” constantly. The case barely holds it in place and if you just stand up quickly, the pencil, which is held in place by magnets that are too weak, falls to the floor. My pencil has fallen twice in two days and I never knew it…forcing me to go look around the house for it. There is a secure place to store the apple pencil but the pencil pro drains its internal battery quickly and, in order to be useful, must be kept in the loosely-goosey charging station in order to be ready to use when you need it. If you plan to buy the new Apple Pencil pro, it may be a non-starter for you. Update 07/15/24: The Apple Pencil when sitting in the charging station on the cover continues to fall off at least twice a day. And if you put the pencil in the more secure stretch fabric holder on the back side of the cover, it loses its charge quickly. As a result, EVERY SINGLE TIME I need to use my Apple Pencil, the battery is dead. In order to use the pencil, I need to anticipate its use by 15-minutes and get it in the charging station. That does not work for me. I never know I will need to highlight a phrase or circle a paragraph until I read it/see it. Then waiting 15-min for the pencil to charge is not acceptable. My Zugu arrives today and this cover which I bought just a month or two ago, will just be a bad memory. I will buy the Zugu case the day it comes out. Note : I have no ties to either company. I know no one who works in either company. I bought the cover from Amazon at full price out of my pocket. I had hoped this company’s product would exceed my expectations. But, as I indicated above, I like the Zugu iPad covers a bit better…enuf to pay $20 more to get one.
