We used to have a similar case that came with the keyboard, and they no longer make those. When I saw these, and the fact they were rugged, rubber looking I decided to give them a try. Both my husband and I have them and we've been using them for several weeks. I love that the stand in the back rotates because some of the games I play on my iPad will only let you play in portrait mode. It's very sturdy and a good rugged case. It's easy to keep clean, my own negative is the plastic screen that you click in place at the end. Sometimes dirt, and for us cat hair, gets between the plastic screen and the iPad case, you just have to remove the screen to clean it.
