Sure, it's hardly as pretty as some of the sleeker iPad cases out there. When it comes to delivering usability features, though, it's going to be difficult to challenge the Brenthaven 5-in-1, a multi-function iPad case that does more than its share to maximize the value for your money.
Clad in a polycarbonate body with a rubberized texture, the case offers two-sided hardshell protection (first function) to keep your tablet out of harm's way. When in use, you need only lift off the front case, so the back panel remains perpetually covered. An EZ-Grip handle system is also installed in the back, so you can hold your iPad securely, while you tap away with one hand (yep, second function).
Need to type? Not a problem. The Brenthaven 5-in-1 can be used as a typing stand, holding your iPad securely at a comfortable angle for using the onscreen keys (third function). It offers two options for watching movies. You can either use the case as a horizontal viewing stand (fourth function) or commission the strap attachment for hanging it over a car seat's headrest (fifth function). See, they weren't kidding about the 5-in-1 part.
The case itself measures 7.55 x 9.75 x 0.5 inches and weighs 1.1 lbs. It only comes in two colors: black or a metallic bronze finish. Brenthaven offers a 100% lifetime guarantee for the accessory, so we're guessing this would have durability to spare.
You can pick up the Brenthaven 5-in-1 iPad case directly from the company's website, priced at $59.95.
