I have been searching for the perfect case for my iPad for a long time. Most of them can only stand the iPad in horizontal orientation which is no good for entering text because the keyboard takes up half of the screen, and is not good for reading books or web surfing. Some of them use magnetic buttons which screw up the compass and navigation accuracy and may cause long-term damages to the sensors in the iPad. Many of them are made with cheap fake leather or other flimsy material. Some of them are bulky or complicated to use, while others offer little protection and the iPad can easily slip out. Some of them cover up the light sensor, causing the screen to dim all the time. Some of them have very wide edges that block your finger’s way when you try to move an app icon to the next screen. Some of them use ugly strips at corners to hold the iPad or to keep the cover closed. I searched and searched to no avail. Is it too much to ask for an iPad case that does not have any of these shortcomings? I finally found what I am looking for: the Sigma Invent Genuine Leather iPad Case with Vertical and Horizontal Stand. You can  get it from Amazon

Highlights

  • Convertible case to stand iPad in horizontal landscape or vertical portrait orientation with a wide selection of view angles
  • Beautiful all leather design, openings for all switches & ports (3G SIM port too)
  • Elegant edges to fully reveal light sensor & beautiful touchscreen, enjoy touch without the edges getting in your way
  • Removable cover so the case can be used as a lightweight sleeve for comfortable holding
  • No magnets (won’t affect compass and navigation accuracy) and no exposed metal buttons (won’t cause scratches). AVOID any case that uses magnets because magnets affect the accuracy of the compass and navigation, and may have long term damaging effects on the built-in sensors.
  • Perfect and unique gift for the iPad enthusiasts in your life!

Details

1. This genuine leather case can be converted to stand the iPad in either landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) orientation with a wide selection of view-angles, or to a lightweight iPad sleeve by removing the cover.

  • The vertical portrait stand is perfect for entering and editing text because you can see more text while the keyboard is shown, unlike in landscape where the keyboard covers half of the screen.
  • IMPORTANT: To stand in low angles, rotate the stand so the Velcro patch on the leg is facing up
  • The vertical portrait stand is also ideal for eBook reading and web browsing while laying down on the bed or relaxing on the couch. Just convert the case to a vertical stand, resting it on your lap and enjoy!

2. The beautiful all leather (real leather, not cheap faux fake leather) design has elegant narrow edges that fully reveal the light sensor and the beautiful touchscreen so you can enjoy the touch experience without the edges getting in the way. Some cases block the light sensor, causing problems with dimming and brightness. Other cases use strips at to hold the iPad only at corners which is not secure and provides little protection, and is not aesthetically appealing.

3. Side loading leather pocket that holds and protects the iPad all around and provides openings for access to all switches and ports, including 3G SIM port.

4. Removable cover. Removing the cover converts the case to a sleeve that is lightweight, easy and comfortable to hold in hand. The cover is closed using Velcro instead of an unsightly strip over the case or metal buttons that can cause scratches to the iPad or other devices.

5. NO MAGNETS! The case does not use any magnets so it won’t affect nor damage the built-in sensors.

All in all, this is the most useful and versatile case for iPad & a must-have for iPad owners. Buy from Amazon
