Mapi Cases Kolossa iPad 2/3/4 Leather Folio review

Fancy yourself a smart dresser? Then envision your iPad 2 or iPad 3 fitted with this exquisite genuine leather case by Mapi Cases. The Kolossa dresses your gadget equally snazzy and stylish, and the cover design will have it functioning just as smart too.

Editor's Rating 

It appears there is turf-war occurring in Turkey about who can design and create the best leather case for your tablet – Beyza Cases or Mapi Cases? Well, I believe both are experts at their craft, the main difference being this brand’s solutions are generally more affordable. Like this folio tablet case , which is similar to, but priced lower than its rival counterpart the Executive II by Beyza Cases. The Kolossa can accommodate either the iPad 2 or the New iPad 3 and maintains clear access to all controls and features, including the rear-facing camera. The bezel here is different than the one on the Executive II, or most cases for that matter, as rather than the standard stretch-to-fit design, its sides are built-up like a small wall. Such a design suggests that, in addition to full-body coverage against bumps, dings, dirt and scratches, your device may even survive a few minor accidental drops as well. The iPad 2 Kolossa case has concealed magnets that function very well in keeping the cover securely fastened during transport, as well as awaking and putting the device when opening/closing. The magnets also ensure that the panels in the cover stay connected for stable tablet stand support. If there is one complaint I have about smart cover designs is that they are tad wobbly when touching the screen during browsing modes, and this is no different here. Still, this feature is reliably sturdy for typing and hand-free viewing purposes.
