Dockem Executive Sleeve for iPad mini 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1: Premium Synthetic Leather Tablet Case: Slim, Microfiber Lined, Professional, Protective Cover (Dark Brown)

I have a cover/case for my Nexus 7 while very functional, defeated the whole reason to have a 7" tablet. In most case, I held the tablet in one hand and operate it with another and the case did add some weight to it. I ran into this sleeve and decided to give it a try. The sleeve looks and feels a lot better than expected. It is faux leather, but felt like real leather. The inside is felt-lined, so no worries about scratching your tablet. It fits the tablet nicely, and there no chance your tablet would slide out of the case accidentally. The sleeve while protects the tablet, doesn't add any bulk so you can keep it in your briefcase, or purse. Easy to carry it around. Oh and the price is awesome. So much lower than most tablet sleeves or cases out there.

I have a blue tooth keyboard case for my iPad-2 and for the most part I love it, but most of the time it is too much. This case is very simple and restores the true tablet experience. It fits well and is good for protection, but allows for quick in, quick out. Nice felt interior protects and slides well. I'd say you do need to learn to hold it correctly, as it can slide out if the opening is held down. However, I am not sure I'd want to add a strap or tighten the fit any, as I like to be able to get it out quick. Had it about 45 days...so far showing no wear and the seams are still sound. Overall a very good. I guess there may be better products, but not at this price point. I also really appreciate the high def zoomable images...greatly improved the selection process.

I've been using this sleeve for almost a month. It's sturdy, very thin, and my iPad Air fits perfectly. It's very easy to slide the iPad in and out. I especially love how thin it is. The interior is very soft and protects both the front and the back of my iPad. I slip this in my day bag (small messenger bag) and it barely takes up any space. In general terms, I'm very happy with it. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's not available in black, and for the life of me I cannot imagine why. It's a very dark shade of brown, but it should be available in black as well.

I bought the one designated for iPad Air 2: it fits tight enought to hold the tablet without falling out easily, and loose enough so I can easily take it in or out. It's brown, a dark brown that almost looks black. After a few weeks of daily in and out use, it does a more than adequate job and seems durable. I notice some reviewers and questions of people who complain that it was too tight with other covers attached. Such complaints should be ignored because they are idiots. This product is just a sleeve, a thick, leather-like envelope, to protect your light-weight product from getting scratched, dirty and messed up when not in use. My briefcases, shoulder bags, backbacks, padfolios and other carriers all have padded areas for tablets or laptops. But in those cases, or laying it down around the home or office, you might not want the tablet exposed to loose pens, coins, or other things that might scratch the screen or surface. For myself, placing my tablet in a heavy cover of any kind would defeat the entire concept of a product known as an IPad "AIR." I want to minimize weight. If you have a cover of any kind mounted on your IPad, you don't need a sleeve. A couple years ago I bought a nearly identical product from Kyasi for my iPad Air. I now needed a new one for my new Air 2 while I will give the old tablet and cover to a relative. I liked the Kyasi as much as I like this one. But for reasons unknown, the Kyasi jumped from $9.99 to over $25 when I wanted a new one, though I see today that has come down to just under $14 as of today. The Dockem is pretty much the same product at a slightly lower price. Kyasi TouchHide Tote Case Cover with Premium Synthetic Leather for Apple iPad Air, Saddleback Brown

I will break my review into 3 parts: 1. What a bang for the buck!!! Will definitely buy it again and recommend it to someone else. Although it's synthetic leather it definitely looks and feels like an item if great quality with the stitching being carefully done. 2. If you plan on buying this for your iPad Air 2 with no Apple Smart Cover your device will fit exactly in the sleeve. Not too much room for fiddling around. I don't know how the regular iPad Air will fit since it is slightly thicker than the 2nd. My guess is that it will accommodate it just as good as the 2generation of iPad Air. 3. However, I prefer to keep my iPad with the Smart Cover attached and in the sleeve. As it ships there is no way to fit the two in. BUT, there is a way in which you can make it happen. If you have saved the box of the Apple Smart Cover this process is relatively simple. The sleeve is so well crafted that you can literally force the Smart Cover box inside without damaging it. Let it sit for 12 hours and then pull out the box. What you will end up with is a slightly larger sleeve that will accommodate the two together. Note that it should not be interpreted that the sleeve loosens over time. Loosening it slightly required forcing it to go beyond what it was designed to perform. The reason for which it receives 5 stars is because it ca fit the IPad Air 2 just as advertised, it delivers a great value per dollar, and it is of great quality. So great that you can force a Smart Cover box inside without damaging it.

Short review: -The case outer material is smooth, slides easily in and out of a pocket. -The inside looks like suede, doesn't seem to be able to scratch the tablet. -The suede material smells like faintly like suede, not plastic. -2013 Nexus 7 slides in an extra 1/4 inch, doesn't stick out of the sleeve. -Tablet slips easily inside, easy to pull out. If you compress the sides you can get it to slide out if held upside down and gently shaken. Long review: For two years I have been using a B&N NOOK Tablet. I rooted it the day I got it and got a version of vanilla Android on it a week later. The dev community managed to get tools out there so I could get CyanogenMod CM 10.2 (Jellybean 4.3) on it and it performs well in most cases. Four things drove me nuts with it. One, it occasionally won't power up right, needing to be soft-rebooted to power up properly. For this reason I won't sell it to a friend. Two, another bug, is that either a recent update to CM,or just because the thing is a pain in the butt to hack, but the touchscreen seems to register the wrong part of the screen about 1/10th of the time. Three, it doesn't support USB OTG, though the removable 32gb microSD card I have in it helps with storage of movies and large games. (I never did get the 16gb internal memory to be user accessible, only had a gig of user memory available without the card) Finally, the case I have for the Nook is a TPU rubbery case that wraps around and covers everything but the screen. While it protects it from bumps, it is a pain to put in and out of a coat pocket because it's rubbery. (I avoid those kinds of cases for my phones as well, and put the tablet in a Ziplok bag so it would slip in my jacket pocket for a time before giving up on using it while walking around. So, I got a Nexus 7 a few weeks ago. It's much thinner than the Nook, has Bluetooth, GPS and USB OTG support, all that the t has held up pretty well, but Before I recently bought my Nexus 7 (2nd gen 2013 model) I was using a B&N NOOK Tablet. Though the NOOK had served it's time well, (especially after I finally got Cyanogen 10.1 running on it). I wanted a tablet that was a little slimmer, was easy to hack if I needed extra features, and had the ability to add devices with an OTG cable. The Nexus Root Toolkit took care of unlocking it for OTG access, and it does everything else I need. I just worried about the large screen getting damaged. I wanted a slip cover instead of a flip and fold stand case since I wanted it to be as thin as possible to carry in my jacket or back pocket. This seemed to do the trick, considering it looked like it had a smooth leather finish. It arrived in a plastic bag, which was nicer than most plastic bags, but wasn't a cardboard box. The packaging seems specially made for mail order shipping. After tearing it open, I looked at the case. It's nice. It is a very dark brown leather (it seems to be leather) with fine stitching around the three sides. The inside looks like suede, feels like suede, and smells a little like leather. The case is stiff enough to give protection against reasonable impacts, but flexible enough that the case itself is not going to hurt the tablet. I worried a little that the case is a bit larger than it needs to be for the tablet. I would like it if it was about 1.4 inch narrower, so the tablet was held in there more snugly. As it is, the tablet goes into the case about 1/4" extra, but can be slightly wiggled from side to side when it's in there. If I hold the case with the open-end downwards, and squeeze the case at the sides where the stitching is, the tablet will slide out. However, for putting it into a pocket, it is great. It won't fit into the back pocket of the slacks I'm wearing, but will fit in the front pocket. (I'm not going to sit with it in there) It also fits in the my jacket pockets, with the smooth leather exterior allowing it to slip in and out fairly easily. For initial impressions it gets 5 stars. I have to be sure not to hold it upside down and squeeze the sides or it will slip out, but otherwise it is a good looking, decent protecting slim slip case.

At first I was super excited about this sleeve because it looks so sleek and professional, but then after using it for a few days I've concluded that this is worthless. My iPad Air keeps getting stuck inside it, and it is very difficult to pull it out about 50% of the time! I don't know if it's temperature related or what, but sometimes it just gets ridiculously hard and won't budge. Seems like they made it too tight, or perhaps it's the inside material. I'm so upset because it's not worth the effort to ship it back, so it's just thrown away money. *EDIT* I've changed the rating to 4 stars because after posting this review the company contacted me and sent me a new one. Turns out my old one was defective (hence why 4 stars instead of 5), and they replaced it with one that works perfectly! I'm so excited about it; now I get to enjoy a sleeve that is sleek, professional and also functional!

Will fit the BARE UNIT iPad Mini 7 with the pen attached. A bit of slack at the top but nothing too unsightly. Put your index finger at the base of the pen when you push the iPad mini in to keep the pen in place.
