Now I had my Ipad I can confirm this bag is one inch too long, by that I mean the bag is bigger than it suppose to be. The iPad has about 1 inch moving space in it.
Otherwise it is OK for its price.
Rating: 2 / 5
This is a nice case for the money, however, it was not originally designed for the iPad. I think this is more of a netbook case than an iPad case. No problem though… iPad fits in the case just fine with extra room to spare.
I like it for the money I spent on it and it protects my iPad just fine. Overall recommended!

This case is too large for the iPad. One reviewer said it was one inch too big, but it’s actually closer to two inches too long. The iPad slides around inside. What a shame, because otherwise the case is nice. The price now is almost double what I paid, so I would recommend purchasing a product that was actually made specifically for the iPad.

I purchased this case to be used with Apple iPad. The case feels like suede leather. The zipper starts around the top left corner of the case and ends just around the bottom right corner of the case, opening three corners. The zipper pulls are interesting. The storage pocket on the front of the case is big enough to carry any charging cords, ear buds, wires, etc. The case interior is a teal color. My interest in this case came from a blog I read stating the Apple Folio Case will fit inside this case as well. I can’t confirm this yet since the iPad has not been delivered. My opinion is that this case is high quality and a very good price.

First the caveat. I don’t have my iPad yet. I pre-ordered one and I wanted a case on day 1. Assuming the case fits the iPad (and it looks like it will) I think this is a nice case at a good price.
The design is simple, with the zipper going around two sides. So only one side need be opened to easily slide the iPad in. Or opening up the two zippered sides allows the case to separate more for even easier insertion. There is substantial foam padding on both sides of the case without adding much thickness to the case. There is also an outside zipper pocket that will hold some papers but inserting an accessory such as a plug adapter would make it to bulgy for my taste. The outside of the case has a nice feel and does not look cheap.
I actually plan this a an interim solution. I eventually will be buying a book style folio case to make access to the iPad quick and easy for reading in bed. There will soon be several such cases on the market and based on their reviews one of them will be my next iPad purchase. The CaseCrown Sleeve will then be a good backup and may be better for travel.
UPDATE:
After receiving my iPad I used this case for about a day and then bought something better (and unfortunately, wildly more expensive). I felt that when the iPad was outside the case it was much to vulnerable and at risk of being dropped given all the smooth surfaces. The CaseCrown only protects while the iPad is in the case. Also, as other reviewers have noted, the CaseCrown is to big, probably because it was made for something else and happens to be about iPad size. So the iPad can slide around inside the case.
I also noticed that the vendor I purchased from has more than doubled the price from $12 to $29. For a little bit more there are many cases that are specifically made for the iPad. I purchased a different style–the Convertible Book Jacket by Incase which has lots of flexibility and good protection (at a high price).
Based on the current price and the fact that the case doesn’t afford the protection I wanted and that I think many people will want, I’m lowering my rating from three stars to two.
