It is one of the only leather cases I've seen that does a good job protecting the corners.The leather juts out about 1/8in providing an absorption buffer from banging the iPad on anything. I would have opted for a dark brown color had it been offered, but the Nippon reminds me of baseball glove leather. It should become more attractive as it wears and ages. This case does not offer any means of standing the iPad up at an angle for viewing, but that was not a need. They make lack of that option clear on the web site.
Overall, this case offers the best value for the price (only $59 !) of any case I've ever owned. I did like my Vintage Leather Octostyle case on my Kindle 2 better, but it was $85 new. Octo is going to eventually offer a Vintage iPad case but they have no timeline.

I've been ogling that case since you (i think) posted previously about it. I want one too! I was thinking of adding a small strap to close it - with velcro dots on both ends of the strap. The same strap could then be attached while case was open, to make it become a stand.
Glad to hear you like it! I too am impressed with their corner protection, over anybody elses.
