Reviews for iPad mini Smart Cover – (PRODUCT) RED

Yes, it is a cover of sorts, though completely inferior to the leather version I had on my iPad 2. The magnet is not strong enough, it does'nt stand up and the material and colours are poor quality. The polyurethane covered hinge is a disaster and has a very short shelf life. Apple need to look to their designers and see what is going wrong. You can't afford this sort of slide in quality in a market rife with impressive competition.

I just went to Best Buy and got this case and I love it so much already, my screen is never smudged and I'm also supporting Product Red. Goes very well with my black iPad mini! Thanks Apple!

Doesn't protect the back, and it slips off. Why can't it be like the iPad smart case?

This is a super flimsy and ineffective cover. When you fold the cover to stand up the mini ipad its not stable and the folded cover tends to release. You can't touch the screen without it falling over. This cover design is a dud. I recommend seeking an alternative cover.

I love this cover, for the most part. I didn't want a bulky case to ruin the overall look and feel of the iPad Mini, so this did just what I wanted. Protection for the screen, and a stand. The stand works fantastically, and the look and feel of the cover is incredible. The magnets are so strong as well, I can hold the cover and not the iPad and it will stay on (Just in case- I don't recommend to do this). It does what I want it to, and some people complain about how it doesn't protect their iPad enough, but I must say that it isn't meant to be a case.

One thing I do not like is that it doesn't stay attached t the back when it is flipped around, I just don't like it hanging there. Also, the price. I say it should be 29.99, not 39.99. What can you do.

My husband bought this and the ipad mini as a gift. I was extremely disappointed with the cover. Whenever I used it in the stand position and used the volume button on the iPad, the case would slip off.

The one thing I can't fault is the customer service from Apple. I returned it without a fuss, and recieved a full refund.

What I love: It's lightweight and doesn't bulk up the iPad, making it easy for me to slide into my purse to take it with me. I can also easily remove it whenever I want.

What I hate: It's a cover, not a case. It will not protect your iPad. And, frankly, when rolling the cover back for a stand, it falls off easily.

If all you want is something to protect the face of the iPad mini from scratching, this is a great product. Otherwise, it's a waste of money.

This is the first time I've purchased a Smart Cover. I decided to go for it when I ordered my iPad mini. It is a gorgeous red cover, but like another person stated, it does not lay completely flat on the screen. I also have not been able to get it to fold back and stay that way when sitting the iPad mini up on a hard surface. There is a flaw and I think for that price, this product could have been a lot better.

As far as protecting the back of my mini, I purchased a compatible silicone clear cover for that.

The design is not worth $39. I have used the larger iPad along with the smart cover and it works well. The mini, now thats another story.... The cover does stay on when closed and flat against the face of the mini-ipad. But when you fold it to prop up the mini for viewing or typing, it falls flat on it's face; you definitley can not type on the mini or the cover collapses. The magnets are definitely not strong enough! Makes you wonder if Apple ever tested the cover before putting on the market. It also does not provide any protection for the back of the mini, which I think is important. I like almost all things Apple but this one is going back to the store tomorrow!
