Back To School with Speck: StyleFolio for iPad Mini Review & GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)
Hey Vegaholics! Today's post is another Back To School post. I see that you guys are enjoying my hashtag #BTSWithVal posts which is awesome & I'm happy that you guys are finding them helpful. If you guys want to see anything specific on here, be sure to leave a suggestion in the comments section or you can just tweet me your suggestions.
In today's post, I'm going to be discussing/reviewing the Speck StyleFolio for iPad Mini. Nowadays, a lot of people use tablets to assist them with their homework. I know I do and having a case for your tablet is a must-have especially if you bring your tablet to school. I'm sure most of you have heard of Speck, but if you're not familiar with Speck, Speck is known for making protective cases for iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Android devices, Windows Phone devices, tablets, & eReaders. I've heard great things about Speck and their products and I could not wait to see what the talk was all about.
About the Speck StyleFolio iPad Mini Case
"StyleFolio’s all-around protective hard shell keeps your iPad Mini snug and scratch-free with a soft inner lining to protect from accidental bumps, drops, and spills. Vivid colors and high-resolution patterns garnish StyleFolio’s easy-to-clean vegan leather cover, making your iPad Mini look better than ever with a seamless, impeccable design. A locking clasp secures your iPad Mini in chic contrast color accents in either a folded mode or shut for when you’re on-the-go. Reading? Typing? Re-watching that funny YouTube video? With so many ways to view and type, you’ll be sure to find the perfect angle for you."
My Review
Design
This exterior of the case features a smooth texture. It's made out of a hard protective shell with a smooth, easy-to-clean vegan leather finish.
The top of case has openings for the power button and headphone jack. On the right side of the case, there is a locking clasp that secures the iPad Mini and cutouts for the volume and silence buttons. On the back of the case, there's an opening for the camera.
The interior of the snap on the back style shell is lined with a soft anti-scratch liner that's supposed to protect the back of the iPad mini from accidental bumps, drops, and spills. Unfortunately the StyleFolio doesn't work with the iPad Mini's automatic sleep/awake function.
I love that you can transform this case into a stand. The ridges built into the case allow you to prop up the iPad Mini into several different horizontal stand angles which are great for watching video or other media. The case can also be propped up into a convenient typing angle as well.
Durability
The hard protective shell that's built into the case gives your iPad pretty decent protection. The shell holds the iPad snug & it keeps your iPad Mini safe and secure when on the go and when it's stored in a bag.
Convenience
This case is so convenient because you're able to use the locking clasp to keep your iPad Mini nice & secure, you're able to turn your case into a stand to watch videos or other media. The fact that this case is lightweight & adds minimal bulk to the thickness of the iPad is a great perk itself. I love that!
Overall
The Speck StyleFolio is a slim, protective case for the iPad Mini that comes in a ton of colors and designs. This case offers several standing angles but I do wish that this case had the built-in sleep/awake feature into the case. Other than that, if you've been on the hunt for a great, quality case that's vegan-friendly (for all you vegans) for your iPad Mini then this is a great case to get. You really can't go wrong with anything from Speck. I highly recommend getting this case & also checking out all of Speck's other products.
