I ordered a case for my iPad and it arrived today, but it doesn't fit. It seems as though it is the right size for the iPad Mini and other tablets measuring 7" - 8". (Mine's bigger than that! )
Here's the link I bought it from:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/smart-and-phon ... blet+cases
I haven't removed it from its box, but from what I can see through the clear lid of the box I would have been happy with it had it fitted. Because the seller doesn't sell the one I need, because they're in Germany and because getting a refund could be a bit of hassle I am offering it on here.
I am asking £21. I'll pay the postage to U.K. addresses. That's about 20% discount of what I paid.

Bump. If not sold by tomorrow then I'll have to explore the seller's refund policy, and you don't want to make me do that, do you?

Which way are you measuring to get 7-8" Rick, North or south as it were assuming you're using the tablet with the widest length horizontally?RickRob wrote:I ordered a case for my iPad and it arrived today, but it doesn't fit.

The measurements of the box are 9" by 6.25". This means that the ///M logo is the right way up when the vertical is the 9" and therefore the ///M stripes run vertically. This means that with a tablet in the case the stripes run horizontally if you have the tablet in "landscape" format.
I think that these things are measured along the diagonal. An standard iPad is 9.7" whilst the iPad Mini is 7.9", so I assume the case I have fits devices within a range of 7" to 8" along the diagonal.
Does that make it clear? I wasn't confused before I wrote this - I am now!

Yes unfortunately it's too small Rick, shame that, I would have had that sir.RickRob wrote:Johnjohn-e89 wrote:Which way are you measuring to get 7-8" Rick, North or south as it were assuming you're using the tablet with the widest length horizontally?RickRob wrote:I ordered a case for my iPad and it arrived today, but it doesn't fit.
