    Magnets faulty

    I brought this case mostly because of the leather but when it arrived the magnets have failed to stay onto my iPad. I have dropped my iPad twice because of the magnet coming off in my hand. This is why I have given it 2 stars.

    Don't get it wet!

    Found out the hard way what happens if you get a water spot on one of these. You would think that they would have coated it with some water repellant or something. Or at least advised you to do that.

    I'm hoping that drying for a couple days will get rid of the worst of it.

    Tan Smart Cover

    I bought the tan Smart Cover last February, when I got it I looked beautiful but everyone at school thought it was cardboard. Now it looks terrible, it kinda got darker and it has marks all over it. It's great in the beginning but later you'll want to burn it. Buy if you desire

    Looks like cardboard, and discolours

    I like the function of the cover. Rolls up well, locks/unlocks well. But the Tan! I had several people comment "wow, that's a cool DIY cardboard cover!" I wish it was...but no that's the tan. Next, it gets dirty and looks horrible. Pick a dark colour.

    Disappointing - marks far too easily

    I bought the tan leather cover for my iPad, which for what it is, is not particularly cheap. Like other reviewers here, I have found that its impossible to look after, and stains really easily, with no way of removing the stains. As another reviewer here said 'it looks like the inside if a pizza box'.

    I really wish I'd saved my money, go for the cheaper option, it will last better!

    Not very good

    I switched from a first generation iPad, to the new model. I decided to get one of these smart cases, as the apple store pushes them so much. After using it for 3 months I can say that it's not very good. They look nice, and maintain the thinness of the iPad, but that's is about it. No protection from dropping, and in fact you are more likely to drop it due to the constantly detaching magnets on the case.

    All in all, I would recommend buying a nicer case,that covers the whole device, and isn't held on by magnets.

    Sooooo disappointed!

    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!

    Good idea but...

    Red leather was my choice, and as some others have said, keeping it looking as good as the device under it, was a challenge. It stains easily and after a few months looks as knocked around as a well read book.
    The biggest problem with these covers is if you lose your grip on the iPad. The cover comes away easily leaving the iPad crashing to the floor. For me, this was an expensive lesson to learn. I now have a cover which offers protection on the back, corners and front. It's all connected, so accidents don't result in a broken iPad.

    Not very durable - needs redesign

    This cover, which I have had less than a year, has so much play in the hinge that it quite often DOES NOT turn off the iPad and therefore you can close it and it stays on running the battery down if you don't have the sleep timer set. The leather hinge needs to have a durable sleeve designed into it to keep the leather from "wallering" out to the point that causes misalignment with the magnetic switches in the iPad that turn the device off when they are activated by the magnets in the cover. The cover worked fine for about 7 months before this started occurring. I was hoping for a couple of years' use. Maybe the plastic ones are more durable ???

    Don't get me wrong the iPad is a terrific product, but Apple needs to go back to the drawing board on this one.

    Leather cover for iPad

    I would not recommend this, at least not in white. It has quickly become stained, and will not come clean. Perhaps another color would be better, but I doubt it. Also, after 6 months of use, the edge where I open it, is stretched and wavy. Not a good product. It does what they say it does, but it doesn't look good for very long.

    The cover looks great, feels great, however, the Magnets never seemed to stay connected to the iPad and it was very frustrating, so I returned it.
