Reviews for iPad Smart Cover - Leather - Navy

Well I have only owned this cover for two days, and so far so good. I really like the color, and it seems durable. This is the first Smart Cover I have owned, and I love it.

Like many others I started seeing separation around the edges within a couple of months. That's annoying. I've gotten the discoloration from hand oils as well, but I expected this as leather always gets a patina. Be aware, but don't be surprised. I don't consider it a negative. The separation is my biggest complaint. I pair this with a back case that accepts the Smart Cover and my iPad is pretty much pristine a year later. That was the point of the exercise, so in that sense I'm fine. I don't think the cover is good value for the money, however. The three ridges in the microfiber leaves annoying lines that require cleaning. The edge separation looks like cheap manufacturing processes were used. I've had no issue with the magnet strength.

I just bought an Ipad and put the cover I bought whith it, it works magically, I'm in love with it. Real good quality.

Extremely disappointed as the cover has started to peel apart at the edge. I took it back to the Apple store and was told that it was cosmetic and that it was not considered a defect. Buyer beware. The product will fall apart with light usage and Apple does not stand behind their product.

I asked for this cover for my birthday, and was thrilled to get it. I have the iPad 2, and originally had the light gray polyurethane smart cover. It worked great, but stained and got marked up easily. I also wound up getting a clear silicone back (Luvvitt) to protect the back. But now with the navy blue leather smart cover, the iPad is nicely protected, and looks super classy. The cover attaches very simply with magnetic fasteners, and I can hold the iPad by the cover, and it does not fall away. It turns the iPad on and off every time (like opening and closing the fridge door). It folds to hold the iPad in a comfortable viewing and typing mode. Highly recommend this cover!!

it very easy to use and it very helpful

Ive read some of the reviews and come up with these thoughts.
If your going to take your iPad out of your home, I would suggest getting a full cover. If your going to use it at home or office only, the leather cover is nice and works well. I have the iPad 3 and it attaches fine and does what it's supposed to.
As for the price, yes it's steep but after paying over $800.00 for the iPad itself, $70 is cheap.

The cover is good looking but has its pros and pons.
Pros:
Good looks
Leather
Durable

Pons:
Cover comes off too easy
Scratches easily
Doesn't protect the back and the back of the iPad scratches easily
Doesn't come with matiching smart case for iPhone.

Don't waste the extra $ on leather.. After a couple months it starts to get loose on the hinge, so it doesn't fit right.. Just get the polyurethane.. It works much better for 30 less.

I got this with my iPad 2. I thought it was over-priced, but it was the cool new thing so I tried it. I have to say I'm glad I did and that I think it's actually worth the money now. Despite what some reviews say, I've never had a problem with the magnets at all. The cover folds up great and the shut-off feature seems unimportant but is actually a feature you grow to love. I've seen reviews that say the cover doesn't work well with the New iPad--well, all I know is it works well for me (and better, since I paid 69 bucks!) A friend of mine actually had another brand of cover that looked like the Apple one but ws some other brand--now THAT sucked. It wouldn't fold well and you had to tuck it in rather than the quick roll-fold with this cover. Anyway, in my opinion, after one year and 2 months, my cover is going strong and I love it. And fyi, I use it constantly--I teach high school so I take the iPad to class each day and at home it is easily my most-used computer. So I've given above-normal usage, I think. i highly recommend.
