CF is not a good choice for a case. It looks great, but it’s very fragile as far as impacts are concerned.
It will keep your iPad from scratching, but not from drop damage.

Great workmanship and beautiful case but the finish is so glossy that the velcro strap (flimsy) pulls off the adhesive that keeps it glued on to the case. This happened the very first time I got the case and hasn’t worked since. And now, with such a great looking case but with velcro just hanging from the top (since it won’t stick), customer service is not abysmal, its just not there at all. No response except automated emails stating they’ve received my email and will get back with me in 24-48 hours. Don’t know when that time frame actually starts as I’ve not heard a peep from them for almost 2 months.
