If you like your iPad with paper on
the side...
The Kensington Folio Trio is a
full-featured mobile workstation, complete with built-in iPad stand, notepad
holder, 3-ring binder for notes, folio for papers, card holders, pen loops, and
iPad stylus loop. In theory, the Folio Trio is great it holds everything you'd
need for an office meeting, and keeps it nicely organized. It’s also sturdily
constructed of faux-leather which, if you're an animal lover, you might
appreciate, though most will probably expect real leather for the price.

Folio Trio For iPad
In practice, the setup is more cumbersome
than it’s worth. Empty, the Folio Trio weighs a full pound more than the newest
1.44-pound iPad. This is without a notebook or any other papers. Folded, it's
also nearly the size of a 15-inch MacBook Pro, but half an inch thicker.
Needless to say. this thing is large. It’s also awkward to use the case in
stand mode. I got accustomed to it after a while, but propping up the iPad
takes some getting used to.
It's
pretty big, but if you're not a bag person, this could be just the thing.
The bottom line. People like the iPad
because it’s light and portable, and the Folio Trio obliterates that. If you
work in an office and you're taking your iPad (and a pad of paper) to every
meeting, you will probably find this useful, especially if you don't haul your
iPad home and back very often. But most of us will probably prefer a smart
cover and a notebook
