When you order something at a price point that is this inexpensive, you really don't expect the final product to live up to the hype. But, to say that I was more than pleased, and just a little surprised is an understatement. I have an older iPad II that had a case that was LONG due for replacement. The stand case I had prior to this purchase was a standard leather folding case, that allowed you to stand the pad up horizontally, and nothing more. It was more than $35 at the time of purchase.
This case is sturdy, well made, and just as advertised, allows you to swivel the pad into both horizontal and vertical positions, allowing for easy reading, game playing, or email/browsing. Because it is rigid (and not floppy plastic like many I've seen), it sits well on almost any surface. The price point makes it an amazing value.
Bought this as a gift for someone with an iPad 2. Was happy just to find that they made any cases for the iPad 2 and pleasantly surprised to find that this was actually a decent case for a very reasonable price (~$9).
So far the case seems to be of decent quality. It isn't going to amaze anyone but it feels well made and the fit was good. The rotating feature feels durable and works very well.
I'll have to see if the case holds up to time but considering how old the iPad 2 is now, I was just glad to find a case. I'll update the review should I find any issues but so far I'm impressed and can recommend this for the price.
This swivel case was purchased to replace the original apple magnetic cover I had paid many, many time more for. I was pleased by the utility of this rotating stand case. It swivels easily and stands up in either the vertical or horizontal positions. CAVEAT: closing the cover does NOT put.the iPad 2 to sleep, you have to turn it off manually. However it does have a protective case for the back of the iPad already attached. Insertion was a snap and it fits very well. I don't think that it is genuine leather, but for the bargain price of less than $8, I didn't expect it to be. Good value for the price and it has held up very well.
other reviews mentioned they received defective/broken items but mine was very well wrapped. the leather has been holding up as well. our 6yo very messy boy at home is pretty rough with it and often gets food etc. on it and its been holding up! we wipe it down very often with clorox wipes and it's been doing fine. also stands up well. the back is slightly confusing and if you're unfamiliar with this case you might break it trying to open it from the point of twisting for switching the orientation so i would recommend familiarizing yourself with all the parts before being too rough with it. we got one in black and pink and both are doing very well. the case does curve over the screen so when you set it face flat there is a slight border that keeps the screen from being flat on the surface its sitting on.
Durable for everyday use by my 7 years old. The rotating center of the cover attachment functions as an excellent finger grip to hold onto the slippery iPad. The cover padding is thick and firm to protect the touch screen from any inadvertent shock. The padded snap-on back cover provides reasonable drop protection to the corners and to the side edges.

Description
Black 360 Degrees Rotating Stand Leather Case for Ipad 2 2nd Generation
This looked identical to a Targus brand case I've had on my iPad 2 for about three years that wore like a champ. Actually, that was my second Targus case for the same iPad but I had the first one as long. I use my iPad a good two hours a day or more so lasting that long is a testament to the quality of the Targus cases - which are still made and sell for 6-7 times the amount I paid for this $5.99 case delivered - which equates to about a buck or two when you figure actual delivery costs. The quality is lower and I can speak to its longevity but I'm all but certain it won't last as long but for the price it seems like a bargain. Treat it right And I'm guessing I'll get a year out of it but if not I'll update this review. If you're thinking of updating an aging iPad - as I am with this version 2 - and you think it might be a good idea not to spend another $40+ on another case - this seems like a no-brained for the price.
This case fits my old, 9.5" screen iPad so I'm very glad to be able to still get a case that fits. The newer iPads have bigger screens. However, this case does not fold all the way back so that the iPad is flat with the screen facing front. I need it to do that so that it will rest on my treadmill's shelf so I can watch a video while running on the treadmill. I should have checked for this feature when I ordered the item. I could force it to fold that way, but it will probably break the case so that it will not work as well. So, now, I take the iPad out of this case to rest on the shelf of the treadmill. It's very easy to remove the case, and put it back when I'm done.
For an economic case for our iPad 2, this has been great! We bought this to replace one we'd bought a couple of years ago that finally began to fall apart, and haven't been disappointed. One always worries when you don't pay high-end prices for a case like this, but so far, we're happy.
I bought it for the 45 degee angle for reading on a table. It does not hold on the lower angle since the suede like material is too slippery and shallow to grip the ipad are that angle. A fix is to place a 1/2 " wide strip of non adhesive tacky material (I used the black Duck Brand 280211 Non-Adhesive Solid Easy Liner) against the angle of the groove that the pad rests against. A strip of double-stick Scotch tape (not the foam tape) can also be used to hold the liner strip in the pad groove and not fall out. Otherwise, I just use the middle groove or lay it flat. I like the option of the portrait rotation too. So one star ding for the useless low angle groove. I wish it were real leather, but for under $7, I'll buy two! I will buy a red one so I can spot it easier in the house and keep this black one for the next owner of the ipad.
Just got this in the mail today. Looks as described speedy delivery so far works as described as well. Very impressed so far with the product and price.if you want to see it in action there are a few videos on youtube this model is the Ctech 360 rotating stand and case. Will possibly update my review after some futher use of the product in regards to durability and function
