by With its stylish exterior and handy inside pockets, Hex’s $80 Code Folio case for the third- and fourth-generation iPad is a good option for business folks that travel with their iPad or take it with them to meetings. The case comes in five solid color options; pick between red, pink, gold, tan, or black.
The Code Folio’s cover is kept shut by an elastic strap.
The Code Folio sports a leather body that gives it a professional look and feel. There’s an elastic strap that keeps the cover shut when you’re not using your iPad, but it’s one of the tightest straps I’ve come across on an iPad case, making it frustrating for me to use.
The case’s inside cover comes with three card slots for business or credit cards, plus two pockets to store notepads, paper, or documents. It also has an elastic penholder—made from the same tight elastic as the outside strap—to store a stylus (or an ink pen, if you’re old-school). However, don’t bother slipping a pen or stylus in unless you want the case to close awkwardly and not lay flush over the iPad’s screen. The cover lacks a trigger for the iPad’s magnetic Sleep/Wake feature— a strange design choice, considering that many other cases on the market offer this.
