    terrible quality leather, i wish I hadn't bought the cover at all, but if you are going to get one it's probably better to buy black. I certainly wish I had ! The red cover looked grubby after one day, marked just from being next to a newspaper in my bag, I've only had this a couple of months but am going to cut my losses and bin it! There is much better out there and cheaper !

    I read a few reviews about this type of cover before I bought it and most were positive at the time. I've now had mine on my iPad for almost 9 months and tbh it looks REALLY scruffy. The case has dark patches where it is handled most (they don't come off, even with leather cleaner). The oil from the hinge has stained both sides of the cover and tbh it hasn't been a very good buy considering it cost a whopping £59!! I'm very disappointed in this product and would advise people to just buy a cheaper non-apple alternative and save some £££.

    Smart cover

    I bought one of these covers, wouldn't advise anyone to buy one now. Mine has marked my iPad all the way along one edge where the hinges are, also no protection for the back.
    On the plus side buttons are easy to get at unlike my griffin leather case but that does offer more protection so gets used more.

    These can be irritating to use and offer little or no protection my iPad slipped 6 inches from the foot stool to the floor dented and shattered the screen very disappointing.

    Expensive & Ineffective

    I know Apple products are expensive, but this is the most expensive waste of time I have ever come across.

    Yes, it does what it says in the description, but when holding the iPad it is far too easy for the cover to detach. This creates a great risk of dropping the iPod as you're holding it by the cover.

    There are many other iPad cases on the market, and many of them have much better functionality than this one does, at a far lower cost.

    I sincerely regret ever having wasted money on this product.

    Hyped

    I bought the magnetic cover that Apple made for the iPad in red but felt that the back of my iPad was very exposed to knocks and blows, the out side of the cover was such cheap leather it immediately looked marked and scrappy despite the care I took and the inside was down right absorbent. So I then bought a smart and practical as well as much more ecanomical ordinary leather case that cost me 9 quid and wish I hadn't been conned by the hype.

    Poor design

    I have owned an iPad 1 for over a year now and grown used to the original cover,I have now got the new ipad 2 (brilliant) but the new type cover is very poor the temptation to pick up the iPad by the cover as I was used to doing with the old cover has proved almost lethal for my new iPad as the magnetic strip that holds the cover to the iPad is not strong enough to hold the weight
