Our Thoughts
The iPad case that I reviewed was a nice product. The presentation and packaging were pleasing and easy to open without ruining. The construction appears to be able to stand up well enough that it could last the life of the iPad if you're going to be replacing it every couple years. The iPad was easy to insert and secure; I was not worried about the iPad falling out. I was not too impressed with the add-on panel as there were a few times where it came loose while I was handling my iPad due to the strength of the magnetic snaps but it was a plus that I could, if I wanted, change the panel out easily when the whim hit me. 
The note pad that is included is a nice addition. I'm not sure if you could easily replace the pad with a generic one but I hope that option was something that the designers considered when they added the pad. The pen that comes with the case was a great addition as it didn't leave me searching for something to write with when needed. It was also a very nice surprise to see that the one end of the pen had a rubber tip so I could use it as a stylus type device with the iPad. There were some problems with dragging the stylus end of the pen across the iPad as it would stick every so often. A less rubbery tip would have worked better in this case. I did not like, however, that the pen top was not able to sit on the pen like it should've. If you're like me, the kids have you going in a million different directions and it's just a hassle for me if I can't stick the top on the pen while it's open because I end up loosing it. 
Over all I liked the case as it was a great product but it ended up being a little too thick for my tastes as the iPad in the PlusMotif case it just took up too much room in my purse. If you don't have a purse or you have a diaper bag, the case would work well!
