HEX

The boys and girls over at HEX have just come out with a killer case for the iPad 3, the Code Folio. It's spattered in smooth genuine leather and has an elastic-band closure attached. To close and secure, you simply fold the band over the other side of the case to lock in place. It keeps your valuable tab safe and sound.

Opening the Code Folio up, you'll find a soft-touch interior mold where you're iPad is secured. It will fit either the iPad 2 or the newest iPad. Additionally, it contains two document pockets, card slots, and a pen holder. There's also a built-in hinge that works with the ridges molded into the interior front to turn the Code Folio into a horizontal stand.

Aside from improving the protection of your iPad, the HEX Code Folio was designed to enhance the iPad's capabilities as a standalone device. It is one of the most sophisticated iPad cases we've seen, and the protective innards are unmatched for a case of this slim size. During a brief "drop" test, the iPad remained unharmed, and working with the iPad and the HEX as a horizontal stand produced a very enjoyable experience.Read more
