    Don't listen to the people who are careless...

    • Written by from Chester

    This is the absolute best case for iPad. That 1 star review? Well they are just careless, romping around throwing an iPad around. This is absolutely worth every penny for the looks, and function. The leather ones have a smooth, gorgeous texture, and beautiful colors. It cleans and protects the screen with ease. …More

    Love the way it works

    • Written by from Calgary

    As a cover for the screen and as a stand, I find it works quite well. It does have a few cons though. Each fold area leave marks on the screen. Easy to wipe off, but there after most uses.
    The tam version being light in color stains from the oil in your hands wherever you grip it when the cover is closed over the screen. i.e. top and bottom edge where you would carry the ipad with the cover closed.     …More

    Sooooo disappointed!

    • Written by from Natchez

    I am an original iPad owner and just upgraded to the new iPad, well I figured I needed one of these fancy new covers...in hot pink, well past the pretty color there is nothing I like about it! I find the cover very awkward. Maybe it is because I had a thin black full cover on my old iPad and could hold it with one hand, it was very easy to handle. With the new cover the back is too slick and slides out of my hand, there is no way to really hold it well and the darn cover pops off constantly! I just bought it yesterday and wish I had saved the box to return...I can't stress enough how much I dislike this case! I am hoping they still make a cover like my old one...where you can slide your hand in the back cover to hold while using and nothing pops off!!! Sorry Apple...I love everything else :-( I am sure I am in the minority here but give me the old cheap black cover back! …More

    Ipad Smart Cover

    • Written by from San Francisco

    From a company which optimized form and function in its products, this product is an absolute failure. I had been using the cover for my brand new Ipad 3 for a period of 3 weeks, before the magnetic connection of the cover to the Ipad detached, and my Ipad shattered on the stone floor below. I do think the idea for this product had promising beginnings, but its function is deficient - any product which failure can cause destruction of that which it protects is fundamentally flawed. But no one's perfect...they just need to reinvent this cover. …More

    It's a "Smart" Cover

    • Written by from Atlantic City

    I bought a polyurethane Smart Cover for my iPad 2, and it works with my new iPad as well. One of the many reasons I like the SC so much is because it doesn't add any extra weight to the iPad. Other covers, or cases, are very bulky, adding extra weight and making it uncomfortable to use. There are some third party covers and cases that are light as well, but they don't work as well as the SC does. For example, some of the benefit of having the SC: it puts your iPad to sleep, this is a good thing to have, the versatile stand option, and the screen cleaner as well. Three features in one. …More

    You can use a variety of things to clean it. I've used lens wipes, microfiber cloths and various other soft cloths like old t-shirts. The glass on the ipad is pretty hard but don't use anything that's abrasive. Stay away from any harsh chemical cleaner. …More

  • Is the plastic attached to the eather cover removed (part of packaging) ?

    • Asked by Maria D from Lincoln Park
    • 29-Feb-2012

    2 Answers

    Answer

    Any 'plastic', that is covering your Apple product when you receive it, is part of the overall product packaging and should be removed Maria. Usually this is indicated somewhere in the 'instructions' that come with an Apple item but, perhaps, like me, you were too excited to pay much attention to the latter!!

    As with most all packaging, it is used to keep the product in as pristine a condition from the factory to the consumer, as is possible!     …More
