Our Verdict
If you ’re a careful iPad user looking for a slim , simple-minded , and attractive arm , the Masstige Deluxe Ostrich Pouch is worth checking out , but its canonical excogitation wo n’t be for everyone .
Zenus ’ $ 40Masstige Deluxe Ostrich Pouchis a faux leather sleeve that broadly speaking fits either the iPad 2 or the late third - genesis iPad . Made of a thin , flexible leather , the Masstige does n’t have much give to it ; though it fit my third - generation iPad with Apple ’s Smart Cover in position , it would not fit with a thin protective shield case meet on the back . The sheath has an ostrich cutis grain ( hence the name ) and comes in boisterous red-faced , black , royal navy , or earth beige .
It ’s quite slim , but still feels protective due to the rigidness of the faux leather . The inside is line with a satin fabric , which wo n’t scrape your iPad ’s touchscreen or back . Because it is a arm , you must withdraw your iPad entirely from the case to expend it .
A humble chit sticks out from the inside of the Masstige sleeve , which I think would contain a magnet and fold over to assure the iPad inside the arm for rapture . Instead , the cloth check actually sticks to the iPad a little bit when you put it inside the cause ; pulling the tab slither the iPad out of the sleeve . In my opinion , this is a totally unnecessary purpose , as the iPad slips in and out of the typeface quite well without it . I bid this case include a tab for cloture , because there is nothing besides friction prevent the iPad from falling out of the sleeve . I would n’t trust this to carry if it is throw or simply jostled around inside a back pack . The third - generation iPad is less likely to fall out , but because it is a tighter fit than with the iPad 2 .
If you ’re a careful iPad exploiter looking for a slender , simple-minded , and attractive arm , the Masstige Deluxe Ostrich Series caseful is worth check out .
