## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Nearly perfect
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2014*

In my opinion, this is the best-looking case for the iPad Air.  I've seen a lot of other cases for the iPad, but they always look cheap or dorky.  The leather on this one has a great distressed appearance and it's not too bulky.  The quality is really nice and I always get lots of compliments when people see it.  Some other reviews mention that when it's holding the iPad up at a low angle for typing, the leather prevents the user from hitting the space bar with their thumb.  I have used it quite a bit for typing at this angle and never once had a problem with the space bar.  I suppose your mileage may vary.I really want to give this five stars, but there are just a couple of things that give me pause.  While I like the angle it props up the iPad at for typing, the upright display angle is a little too upright for most of my uses.  I can't find a way to prop it at a different angle that is at all secure.  There's also not a magnet in the case to automatically turn the iPad off and on when you close and open the cover, which is more irritating than I thought it might be.Obviously neither of these issues are deal-breakers.  Overall, I'm still extremely happy with my BookBook and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

    BookBook for iPad Air fits the new iPad Air 2
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2014*

The Twelve South BookBook for iPad Air fits the iPad Air 2. The camera cut-out is a little too far to the right for the new Air 2 and partially obscures the camera lens, but I widened it with some small, sharp scissors. Per the Twelve South company, they had no plans to make a new case for the Air 2, but said the current Air case fits fine except for the camera opening. I got the brown leather version. It came packaged in a cute 'book bag' that immediately made me feel like I was in grade school again! The case itself is very sturdy, with nicely colored and distressed leather covering a 'hard cover' that provides protection to the iPad in case of drops. There is an interior 'sleeve' in butter-soft leather that encases the iPad. It is attached in the corner closest to the zipper, so you can't accidentally drop the iPad out of the BookBook. The side next to the book spine detaches via two press studs, allowing you to flip it out to take photos. The zipper and pull tags are of high quality, and the whole case looks lovely, and is very nice to hold. I've used BookBook cases on my iPhones for many years, and I know first hand how well they stand up to daily wear and tear - they just get better, softer and have more character. Another quality product from Twelve South. Want something unique for your iPad Air 2? This is it.

    I’ve had this for a few years. It’s held up well, on planes, in the car, in the hood, and in board rooms.
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2018*

This was a splurge, but I’m glad I did it. The case has protected my iPad from a few drops and falls and I don’t know how many thieves the case has saved me from! It’s great camouflage: what thief will steal a book?I had a previous iPad with a typical iPad case, someone liberated that from a friend’s car. This case just looks like a old book. I’ve seen many people give it a glance and move on. No one has bothered me, and I teach in some rough areas.Some reviews say the case “smells funny”. Umm, kids, that’s LEATHER. It’s the real deal. And once out of the shipping box, the scent fades after a day or two.This is a classy, robust, safe case that looks like an old classic book. It’s a little expensive for an iPad case, but so is theft insurance, and this thing does the same thIng while looking really nice.
