Marware SportShell Convertible for iPad Review

What really caught my eye about this shell was its "transforming" multi-mode positions.
The Good:
-Four nubs on the back allow iPad to sit flat on its back without wobbling.
-The slightly raised "typing" position. Very comfy and just the perfect amount of tilt. Looks very Star Trekky.
-The clear acrylic insert gives the iPad a cool appearance.
-Hand strap can convert from horizontal to vertical orientation. (but it's a bit of a hassle to switch)
-Easy access to all ports, switches and buttons. Orientation lock still easy to reach. (Not sure if Dock compatible)
-Fits into TwelveSouth's BookArc stand just fine.
The Bad:
-The high angle "movie mode" tilt. The angle is nice, but the feet seem ready to snap off.
-The feet of all legs are completely smooth. It is easily slide around a smooth surface.
-If not for the hand strap, the shell is just as slippery at the iPad itself.
-Cheap feeling thin plastic. It does keep the iPad profile slim. But I wouldn't mind a little more texture or protection.
The Ugly:
-It requires considerable force to snap and unsnap the folding feet. They attach to the edges of the iPod aluminum frame, not to itself. The hard snapping sound feels like I'm breaking something.
-The actual hand strap. It's made from the thinnest, lightest elastic foam material I've ever felt. I have old socks with stronger elastic. I give it a couple weeks before it's completely stretched out and limp. I actually fear that the weight of the iPad will rip the strap out of the connecting pegs. (I would have preferred woven nylon and adjustable velcro -- like camcorder hand straps)
So while it's not the perfect case, it has a few great features. But there's definitely room for improvement.
