The cover was great and our clients almost saw it as a gift from us rather than just a promo good, which is exactly what we wanted! Another great product I worked on was an expensive iPad cover for our top clients. The cover had a swivel motion and also a keyboard, it was leather and had our logo stitched on to the side.
