Reviews for iPad Smart Cover - Leather - (PRODUCT) RED

Been using the red leather cover for about 5 months, and I haven't been disappointed so far. It has performed all of its functions (cover/stand/auto-lock&wake) consistently so far, and I like how the leather gets this broken-in kinda look, the way leather should. Some minor remarks are: After a while, the folding sections lose a small bit of their firmness, so you might need a slight bit more precision when folding up the triangle. Also, it seems that the hotter-running 3rd generation iPad causes that gray material on the inside of the hinge to burn a bit over time. It actually left some quite visible marks on my iPad, which I noticed when I removed the cover (something I seldom do), but it was easily cleaned with a damp cloth. The inside of the hinge has a couple of singed spots, but I can live with that. And one other thing, the micro-fiber inside of the cover misses cleaning the spots where the cover folds, so it doesn't do a quite perfect job of passively keeping your screen clean. But this is just a nit-pick, I love the cover.

I love the color. Nothing bad about it. I heard people say that it gets dirty too quickly but I carry iPad in a pouch when traveling so mine's still clean.

The design is beautiful, the way it awakens your iPad just by sliding off is great, but do NOT be lulled into a false sense of security with this "cover".

I have had many near calls with this cover. Do not think that you can hold on to the cover alone when the iPad is open. There have been multiple times that the magnets spontaneously detach and the iPad hurtles terrifyingly towards the ground. Luckily I caught it almost all of those times, the one I didn't was on to carpeting. It's frustrating that the magnets are not strong enough to support the iPad's weight even when not hanging completely from them. This cover is mainly for looks and to protect the screen while closed in a bag. At that it excels. If you are looking to protect your iPad from falls or other accidents, look elsewhere.

This is a great case that does what it claims to do. It covers the iPad screen, shows off its thin, sleek look and wakes and sleeps the iPad when it's open or closed respectively. It doesn't claim to and WILL NOT protect the iPad if you drop it, it won't protect the back or do anything if you don't use it properly. If you don't want your iPad to break get an Otter Box

I was given this as a birthday gift to go with my new iPad - and I love it. The colour is excellent - a lovely bright red - and the quality is excellent too. I really like the way it puts the iPad to sleep/wake up automatically. I can't think of a negative comment - I suppose it makes the new iPad a little heavier but this is acceptable when taken into consideration the protection it gives.

I've had the case for a few days now and have had no issues whatsoever in all positions. The magnet is quite strong and the design is simple yet functional. I would recommend this product.

FYI, I have the leather case. The look and feel is superior and I felt it was worth the extra $.

Regards,
David

I never really write reviews, but after somehow finding myself on this site and reading what many people are saying, I feel compelled to add my two cents.

If your iPad is disconnecting from the smart cover while in stand form, you're doing something wrong. Plain and simple. I work at a company where almost everyone has an iPad (company sponsored woot woot) and practically everyone has them standing up in vertical position at their desks...I've never seen one fall. Literally almost 100 people using these things like this and I've never even heard of this happening.

The cover doesn't come off unless you pull it off purposefully or shake the iPad while holding it by only the cover...which even then it holds on for quite a while! So yeah, in short, don't believe these people who say their iPad fell off the cover. They were doing something wrong. Go to an apple store and have them demonstrate it...

This case is brilliant. A lovely colour and looks great! It wears well, and it just makes it unique from others.

There is nothing negative to say about this case. You will not be disappointed
