With its clean lines, genuine leather, & functional design, Griffin's Midtown Folio for iPad is always appropriate, wherever you take it. The Midtown opens & closes like a 3-panel notebook; the compact, one-piece folio design flips open to reveal your Multi-Touch display & a facing (real paper) notepad, then closes for privacy & protection. Super-grippy elastic bands at all four corners hold your iPad securely in place, & an elastic band closure secures the folio cover. Inside, Midtown's smooth microsuede inner lining protects your iPad, front & back, from scratches, smudges, & abrasions. A single panel of microsuede, without stitching or seams, is all that contacts the back or front of your tablet. Midtown protects your iPad while you're carrying it, but it doesn't stop working when you get where you're going. Flip the cover around in back to turn the folio into an upright viewing st&. Midtown holds your iPad upright for easy reading & viewing pictures. Two handy loops give you storage for a stylus & a pen or pencil. 5 card pockets on the inner panel keep business, ID, or credit cards always handy. & the real leather exterior gives you the confidence to carry it anywhere.
