    Fear not the pink

    • Written by from Vacaville

    Okay. Yes, I am a girl but, I'm not a "girlie girl". I'm independent, strong, mature and not at all concerned with what others think. Sort of a red, black or blue cover you might say. But when I went to the display of beautiful new iPad covers, there hung an almost full rack of pink. All of the strong, independent and socially popular colors had been selected down to just a few. Clearly, tte people have spoken. I chose the beautiful pink. At first I thought I could put it back and pick a a more popular color. Or, pick a color that I actually liked more. But the pink was calling out to my individuality and beside, it really is a very nice shade.
    I love my pink iPad cover. It stands apart from the others. It's individual, strong and confident... Like me!

    Cover slips off

    • Written by from Liberal

    The magnetic cover slips off unless it is fully closed/open in the flat position. I had the cover in the rolled up position and was passing the iPad to a student to show her something and the cover slipped off. iPad dropped out of our hands, dropped a foot and hit the table. iPad screen now smashed up. Student horrified. I'm heartbroken and have a big bill to replace iPad -- I'd only had it a week. I'm ordering a different cover.

    An instant design classic

    I love my smart cover and wouldn't be without it. It is exceptionally practical and enhances my iPad experience. It protects it well, and my pound shop neoprene case fits over it to prevent back scratches if I'm wanting to carelessly chuck it in my bag. Okay, I'm never careless with it, but the smart cover means I'm usually care free.

    Easy to Clean

    Ok so the color looks like it will get dirty easily which it will...however...the poly covers are better than the leather I think because u can wipe them clean w a DAMP cloth...very small amount of water. I wipe mine clean every few days so the dirt doesn't build up and it looks brand new (I've had mine for almost a year now)!

    I wondered why the salesman told me to be sure to keep my receipt.
    After 2 days, the cute smart cover was driving me crazy!
    The magnets may or may not be strong enough to hold the extra weight of the 3rd generation iPad, but they definitely don't fit the steeply angled sides.

    My iPad 3 would never stand up for video watching, and even when typing, the cover kept sliding off.
    I have an original iPad that is still without a scratch -- this one fell face down when the magnets on the smart cover disconnected.
    The Apple Store manager's reasoning as to why it was not their fault? iPads should never be held in one hand!

    Replacing mine!

    I see so many covers that work better. The magnets don't hold so the case falls off, it doesn't stay rolled when you want to stand it up, and it really doesn't protect the device.

    Hated it at first ...

    • Written by from San Bernardino

    For all the same reasons posted here! It would pop off in the rolled position and I worried I would drop my IPad if I wasn't careful. I loved that my IPad went to sleep when it was closed and that it could act as a stand in both the horizontal and vertical positions (if it would stop popping off). Then I found my Incipio back case. It is compatible with the Smart Cover and snaps over the hinges so that it holds the cover on tightly. I can pick up my iPad by the cover now without it coming off. And the colors closely match the smart covers! So .. I'm buying a new iPad for my grandchildren, and I'm getting a new Smart Cover here in pink!

    Not so great...

    • Written by from Yulee

    I don't have the pink one, but I'm sure they're all the same as far as functionality goes. I loved the smart cover when I first got it, but after a few days...well, the main problem with it is that it leaves lines/streaks (like long fingerprints) on the iPad screen and I would have to clean it everytime I used it. I now put a cleaning cloth between my screen and the cover before I close it to prevent this. It also comes off very easily.

    Excellent cover which doubles up as a stand - would recommend

    ok

    Looks great, easy to attach and a good stand but offers very little protection. My iPad screen has a crack across it (no idea how). Buy if you want to make your iPad look nice but not if you are expecting it to give extra protection.

    It's amazing how you aren't stuck to keeping the Smart Cover on, you can remove it with such ease. It is just an overall amazing product and innovation.

    Awful product - steer well clear!

    • Written by from Birmingham

    The title of my review seems a little sensationalist, but allow me to explain:
    This case looks great, fits great and protects the entire iPad. It even has a few nice touches (covered volume and power buttons).

    BUT - and this is a big but. The case is also supposed to support the iPad when watching movies/reading etc and this it spectacularly fails to do and may lead to the death of your iPad. In portrait orientation, it's not great, but almost usable, but in landscape, it's much worse and is too flimsy to stop it from toppling over, which lead to my wifes iPad hitting a tiled floor. We were lucky because I got my foot under it to break the fall, but it could so easily have lead to it breaking. Better options are available at a lot less, investigate those first. This is the poorest accessory I have seen Apple produce and they should be ashamed to their failure to test it adequately before selling it. I bought a different case from another manufacturer and this is much better.

    Was this useful? Awful product - steer well clear!

    Fab Color, Cute Thought, Slips off!

    I was delighted to receive my new iPad3 today and ordered this adorable iPad Smart Cover to go with my new device. To my horror, I was slowly walking into my kitchen to show off my device and the cover slipped off and my brand new iPad3 crashed into my the ceramic kitchen floor (face down). I slowly picked it up only to discover that somehow it was unscathed. I couldn't believe it! Thank you Mr. Steve Jobs for thinking about this moment in time far in advance and for providing me with a PASS! Wow!

    Bottom line, It makes the iPad3 more slippery then it already is. That said, this item is going BACK Spend the money on a "real cover".

    Just got the case yesterday for Christmas it was awesome. the pink cover really compliments the black and white iPads. I reccomend the pink smart cover to anyone who has a iPad and anyone who wants a cute and fashionable smart cover.

    Some nice features

    • Written by from Fredericksburg

    37 of 47 people found this useful

    I love how thin and light the cover is, and how it aligns perfectly on the iPad. However, it does fall off fairly easily. I also love the wake/sleep feature of the cover. However, I'm a past Kindle owner, so I'm used to sliding the bar to wake or sleep my electronics. My primary complaint is how the cover offers no protection for the back of the ipad. For that I had to purchase another product (that works VERY well by the way). I also don't like the angle offered for viewing, and I don't think the cover works very well as a stand. For now, I'll use the cover, and come spring, I'll buy a bigger purse!

    Smart Cover is not compatable with the iPad3!! Don't beleive Apple

    • Written by from San Francisco

    I had an iPad2 with the Smart Cover and loved it. I just bought a new iPad3 and a new smart cover. The cover keeps falling off with little pressure and does not even stay in place if you were to use it as a kickstand. I tried my old smart cover and still had the problem. The reason is that in the new iPad the magnetic strip is about 3 times smaller than the iPad2 making it a weak connection. I extremely advice all not to purchase the Smart Cover for the iPad3 look to logitech, they have it figured out.

    I have had this case for a few months and nothing has happened; mainly because I haven't dropped it, but when I did the case flew off and the iPad hit the floor and the screen shattered I do not suggest paying 39 dollars for a case that will not even protect it! DO NOT BUY!!! There are still cases that protect much better than the smart case AND cost much less.
