As promised, the impressions!
My current Waterfield collection:-
1 x Personal Muzetto Flame Red, 1 x Portable Muzetto Lime Green, 1 x iPad Smart Case Flame Red, 1 x iPad Smart Case Lime Green, 1 x iPad Slip Case Flame Red, 1 x iPad Ultimate Sleevecase, 2 x Keyboard Short Sleeve.
The two different Muzettos. Personal infront, the larger Portable at the back. Note the different leather texture. I've weathered the Personal Muzetto during my travels around the world, so much that it looks like it's seasoned now. Fit for Indy and his adventures!
While, the new Portable Muzetto has this waxed leather texture that feels smooth to the touch. I like them both!
Gary of Waterfield wasn't kidding when he mentioned that the iPad Smart Case and the Muzetto are made for each other. What's even more surprising is how well they complement one another. Just look at that fitting, it almost looks like the Personal Muzetto has a third pocket! Nope, that is not a third pocket, folks.....that's the iPad Smart Case fitting perfectly into the Personal Muzetto!
Let's take a look at the iPad Smart Case. Ballistic Nylon for impact resistance, mesh pocket at the back for miscellaneous accessories, and luxurious ultra suede that cradles, caress and cleans your iPad when slipped into. Shown here with the iPad wearing the Switcheasy Nude case, and it fits like a glove!
Here's the Keyboard Short Sleeve. Fits the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard perfectly, and prevented from slipping out by the cradling of ultra soft material inside and the catch button inside. Outside material made from ballistic Nylon with grip surface so that it won't move around when deposited into the Muzetto. It smells nice too, leathery smell!
Peekaboo! As illustrated by Gary in his demo video, the interior is made of bright colored material so that it looks as if someone switched on a light inside your Muzetto. Easy to look around, spacious and roomy, presenting the Personal Muzetto! Inside, there are no visible seams at all, a true testament for their workmanship. Inner front zippered pocket for wipes, cards, or in my case, I slip in microfiber cloths and small accessories like the iPad Cam Kits addons in there.
How roomy is it? The ENTIRE iPad Ultimate Sleevecase fits in here perfectly, that's how roomy it is!
With the iPad in the Smart Case, the keyboard in its Sleeve, and together with the collapsible iPad Joule stand that I carry everywhere with me, and with the flap closed, look at the slim profile! I personally love how you can see a slivery hint of the Lime Green color even with the flap closed over the top, to accentuate the brown leather trims. Absolutely perfect!
Shipped to Malaysia via DHL, Waterfield will not entertain purchases from Malaysia unless you're either willing to go through their credit card verification process (scans of CC front and back, proof of residence/addess corrensponding to the CC's billing address, and ID/passport verification match) or unless you've purchased their product before and shipped it to continental USA, having your credit card details with them, and then starting a second order with them, with the option to ship to Malaysia available. Shipping is killer here, but with the level of exquisite detail and craftsmanship here, I've been convinced to their level of QC long since I had my first taste with them with my first order of my earlier Muzetto bag with them.
Total cost?
1 x Portable Muzetto = USD189.00
1 x iPad Smart Case Flame Red = USD59.00
1 x iPad Smart Case Lime Green = USD59.00
2 x Keyboard Short Sleeve = USD37.00
Shipping via Fedex, shipped out from San Francisco on August 9th, arrival today (that's THREE days only!) = USD87.75
Do the math.
I would heartily recommend these beautiful creations of Waterfield to anyone who wants protection and carrying solutions for their iPads, they receive top marks from many web publications sites. However, if you're not willing to accept the pricey shipping charges, the only solution I see is a mail-forwarding service like Vpost or Borderlinx or wait for me to get another LA trip, and sent the order to my LA hotel and me transporting them back to KL.
