Reviews for iPad Smart Cover - Polyurethane - Light Grey

So far, very much a enjoying my new IPad but after getting hands on the smart cover I must say that the value for money just isn't there. It does have some neat feature but just not worth the money. What apple needs to develop is something that has similar neat features but more importantly something that protects our little treasure from accidental breakage. Your basically putting a frail geek into a rugby match :-)

The way the Smart Cover adheres, is very clever and one has to give acclaim to the industrial designers at Apple who came up with the idea. It works very well. I am concerned about the back side, an area that is exposed and somewhat slippery. Since this is just a cover, and not a case, I can't fault it for that. As a cover, it does the job. I bought the lt gray for the white New iPad. Very pleased overall.

It protects the screen great, and I love its features, but I think it should have more position options since you can only have it barely tilted off the desk or standing . . . There are some snap cases that have a magnetic strip that will allow more positions, but I think it should be able to do so without having to buy more accesories. Othet that that, I love it. Keep'em coming apple!

Snap on side always come off...magnet not strong enough

This was a complete waste of money. . I would better investing my money in something else .

The iPad isn't the same without this cover. It stays on and comes back off effortlessly. It's also really useful in its two stand positions. It's not a full blown case that can protect your iPad from anything but for those looking to protect their screen and show off the design it's a great choice.

I received the white iPad 2 along with this cover for Christmas, and I travel from home and school with it every day. It has kept the screen safe with no problems. I highly recommend this product.

Here's a poser for you: we have a product that does what it's advertised to do. It does it well. I use it all the time. So, it's a good, usable product that should be highly recommended. But is it worth $40? I guess the answer to that question depends on how you're likely to use your iPad. If you're carrying it around a lot outside of your home/workplace, you might be better served with a more substantial cover. However, if you're using your iPad essentially in one location and want to protect it from run-of-the mill jostling (and you want the convenience of using the opening of the cover to wake your iPad), it's probably worth ponying up the 40 bucks. Your call!

I bought this in march 2012 with my new ipad, (having kept my 1st gen in an annoying sleeve that i often misplaced) mainly to protect the screen, and of course as a stand it works brilliantly but after about 6 months the magnet holding it to the iPad became quite temperamental sometimes it sticks really well, other times I can stand it up by folding the case and the magnet will fall right off and the iPad falls to the table, (of course I am wise to this so am careful about it) I also have found the nice silver bevel around my 3rd gen iPad getting a bit scratched and the back a little marked, so I bought a clear silicon skin off amazon to protect the rest of it. Also if your prone to getting things dirty the grey colour is not advisable since mine has become very dirty, going to order one in black soon, however I have not experienced the spiltting people have mentioned and I don't lift the device by the case since its only magnets holding the hefty device.
