CaseCrown Bold Standby Pro Apple iPad 2/3/4/Air Folio review

A rather unassuming tablet case at first, the CaseCrown Bold Standby Pro folioturns out to be a case of the basics done well. Among a few other necessary features, the Standby Pro includes a notable perk in the hand strap for easy display.

Editor's Rating 

This CaseCrown tablet case is fairly easy to describe in the best-case scenario terms Tablet2Cases likes to use: Simply put, the Bold Standby Pro is a best-case scenario for those Apple iPad users looking for a durable basic folio with just a little extra functionality at a good price.

The synthetic leather can certainly pass for the genuine article, but even those unconcerned about snob appeal will appreciate the soft, easy-grip feel the CaseCrown folks have provided. In addition to the light weight, the particular material in the Bold Standby Pro stands up remarkably well to creasing from the foldout tablet stand of the interior.

Said tablet stand is of the single-angle, landscape-mode variety and is held together with the notch on the back cover. The interior frame holding the iPad is also synthetic leather – not so strong in itself, perhaps, but the incredibly strong bit of Velcro clamping down the frame to interior cover will replace any lost confidence. The hand-strap lies within the interior front cover of the Bold Standby Pro folio. Folding back the front cover allows an embedded magnet to hold the covers together; the user may then slip his/her hand underneath the strip to display the iPad. Note that the magnet does a pretty decent job holding everything together in display mode (and is perfect for carrying), but won’t keep the package together with any extreme motion.

Pros

• Handstrap feature for easy display
• Great price
