Our Verdict
The $70 Zenus Masstige Anaconda Series is perfect for women looking for a not-too-flashy, feminine case for their iPad 2. The exterior is made out of synthetic leather that resembles snakeskin, though the case doesn’t look cheap, especially due to its quality craftsmanship.
The Zenus Masstige Anaconda comes in two color options: wine (a burgundy red) with pink interior, and navy with a bright turquoise interior. The iPad is secured in a fitted, snap-on back cover, while the front of the case features a magnetic strap to keep the cover closed. The case has a nice, snug fit against the iPad, keeping it very well protected. All ports, buttons, and cameras are easily accessible and unobscured.
Like many folio cases, the Masstige Anaconda can also be used as an iPad stand. There are two folding stands on the interior of the cover, which offer a typing mode and a landscape-viewing mode. An added bonus: The stands are secured with magnets, which support the iPad 2’s sleep/wake feature. While the Masstige Anaconda isn’t for everyone—it’s definitely made with women in mind—Zenus has done a great job at making a good-looking case with admirable features.
