We found our kids ipad mini case was pretty stable in all three positions.

M-Edge isn't a well-known brand in the UK (it's based in the US), but its new military-style Trench Runner Jacket is available to buy from John Lewis. It's the only case we've seen made from cotton canvas, and it has leather 'buckles' which hold the case shut using brass-look press studs.

Unlike most of the folio-style cases in this round-up, the M-Edge Trench Runner Jacket has a non-folding front cover. Instead, the rear cover folds and the 'steps' on the front cover, which are created by a simple fold in the fabric, are used as stops to provide three different viewing angles. We found our kids ipad mini case was pretty stable in all three positions.

Yet another clever piece of design is the so-called uView mounting system. The iPad clips into a plastic tray, which is reversible so you can't put it on the wrong way and obscure the camera - there's a cutout at opposite corners. This tray clips securely into a bracket on the case itself - the clever part being that you can clip it in both portrait and landscape orientations. The tray can be used as a case of sorts on its own as it has built-in feet, so it can be put down without any risk of scratching the rear of the iPad.

M-Edge makes several cases which support uView, so in theory you could buy more than one and easily clip your iPad into whichever one you fancy. Our hope is that the company will release other accessories so you can attach your IPAD 4 CASE FOR KIDS to, say, a car headrest or a wall.

You’ll be pleased with the blend of functionality and style that Devicewear offers with the Ridge folio case. It’s crafted from vegan leather (fake leather), but it doesn’t feel or look cheap. There’s a soft micro-suede lining, it supports the automatic sleep/wake function, and has a magnetic closure. A hard shell protects the iPad Air and a number of grooves support a wide variety of landscape positions when you fold the cover back. It’s sturdy, practical, and stylish.
