The AYL Slim iPad leather cover is one of those all in one solutions which will save you some money and some space. If you have an iPad, you have to protect it, especially the screen, but you also want a stand for the device, in order to enjoy watching movies on it, looking at some pictures or use the on screen keyboard.

Most manufacturers caught on this need for a multifunctional case for an iPad, but not all of them offer cases that really work and don’t annoy you with their shortcomings.

First of all, the cover we’re talking to you about is made from real leather. This is actually really important, and although we often present to you good cases and folios which are made from synthetic materials, the quality and advantages of a leather case can’t be ignored Cases made from leather last longer, get quality paint on them, look significantly better and have better hinges.

If you add all these, you see how important a leather case is for your iPad and how it will go with you down the road for a longer time than most synthetic ones.

As you can see, the tablet is sustained by some "hooks" designed to grant access to ports, screen and buttons

Sure, they tend to cost a little more than those made of plastic or other materials, but it you add the prices of 2 or 3 of those easily broken cases, you realize that the initial higher investment really pays off. Getting back to our cover, you should know it has a 6 point docking house system for keeping the iPad safe. What this means is that once you put the iPad in, there are six points (above, beneath and on the sides) which secure the iPad and keep it in one place.

Nevertheless, you still get access to all important iPad functions while safely tucked in, including the option of connecting the charger. The inside part of the case has a suede finish, so the screen will not be affected from numerous turns and manoeuvrings with the tablet. After all, the screen is the most important part of the iPad and you want it secured at all times.

This iPad leather folio also acts as a stand. This way, you can enjoy content from your iPad without getting it out of the case or buy a different device just for this. There are 4 viewing angles supported, that should prove more than enough for most users.

You can watch movies, keep the tablet up as a picture frame for everyone to enjoy or tilted back a little for using the on screen keyboard. Basically, it delivers everything an expensive stand has to give, without occupying the extra space and sparing a few bucks from your wallet.

The AYL Slim case for iPad has the style and elegance of a book case. It will surely differentiate itself amongst generic cases and will give you some extra class (in case you don’t have enough already 😛 ). The AYL Slim iPad leather cover is now available from Amazon for a reduced price of $38, which is indeed more than those $19.99 plastic cases, but is sure delivers much more style and security.

Don’t forget that it’s made from real leather and will resist much more than cases made from synthetic materials, which tend to wrinkle up pretty fast and they usually smell bad.

Also, the case works as a stand, letting you type, watch movies or pictures, being a very well crafted and fine looking multifunctional case for your Apple iPad. If you think about how much other leather cases cost and add to that the price of a 4 angle stand, you realize that the $38 you’d spend on this one turns out to be quite of a bargain.
