I owned a second generation iPad for several years and always protected it with a thick holder. i've just purchased an iPad Air 2 and wanted to protect it also. i searched along while until i found the Snugg in brown suede. The stand seems a bid more sturdy than some of the other colors. It looks as though it would hold up when i take it around with me. The placement of the stylus holder is a bit inconvenient. though the small sleeve for the glass wipers has proven handy in the past. i would not be inclined to carry personal information such as credit cards; might be problematic if i accidentally left it somewhere.
