Review: Twelve South’s BookBook Volume 2 for iPad
Twelve South makes cases for Apple devices, and they were kind enough to send me BookBook volume 2 for my iPad Pro 11-inch.

The BookBook volume 2 is a beautiful leather case for iPad. Like the name suggests, the binding makes it look like a book. It’s made of stiff leather, so it can protect your iPad when you put it in a backpack or purse. It zips all the way around for extra security. The iPad is secured inside with a rigid plastic case, with extra room for the Apple Pencil.
It offers a couple of multiple viewing modes for your iPad. You can fold it so that it’s easy to draw on it with a stylus, and fold it so it’s easy to use it with a keyboard or to watch videos. The second viewing mode isn’t very sturdy though, because there’s nothing holding it in place except the inside edge of the zipper.
There’s a sleeve pocket on the inside, so you can store a keyboard or documents along with your iPad. BookBook volume 2’s product page specifically recommends Logitech’s Keys-to-Go keyboard. The case really looks like a book, so you could put it on a bookshelf with your other books, and people snooping around might not even notice it.
BookBook volume 2 costs US$89.99 for the iPad Pro 11, which is the model I’m using. For the iPad 12.9 (gen 3) it costs US$99.99. Ultimately I think the case is a great product and I recommend it to everyone.
