There was a lot of criticism about how iPad would be useful when it was first launched, from moderate positive criticism to downright bold mockery.
But…
Times have changed and so has the perspective about iPad.
So much so that when anyone thinks about a tablet, it is either iPad or nothing else.
Like Apple iPhone did to full-screen smartphones, iPad did to the entire tablet market with all the major tech giants following their lead and coming up with their version of iPad, but it would be safe to say that nothing quite does it like the iPad.
There are a bunch of reasons that make iPad the tablet of choice for many people and the variation and the number of iPad cases available is one of the many strong features that sets it apart from every other tablet.
That being said…
There still are a bunch of useless iPad cases that do all the boasting without actually delivering on the made promises.
