    Very expensive and not good quality

    • Written by from Whangarei

    For the price, I thought I would be getting a good quality case, but the light grey colour marks and gets dirty constantly. I have to clean the case almost weekly to try and keep it nice. Also the middle fold and folds for the stand are starting to wear out already. Honestly, Id stick to a cheap 3rd party one next time.

    Nice expensive case

    It's made for the iPad by the guys who made the iPad. So the quality goes in par with the device. It perfectly fits the new iPad 4 and does not make the iPad look bulky.
    Though its expensive, it's worth the buy to compliment the iPad.

    Good case, a lot of money though.

    First off, I read a lot of the complaints and most were how the edges are "sharp" and "hurt you". Well, unless you have very delicate hands, they won't hurt you. Sure the edges do stick out a bit and could poke you a little bit, but it did not seem to bother me. What I like about this case is that it covers the entire iPad. The iPad does sink down a little bit in it and those "sharp" edges seem to stick out to help protect from drops and bumps. I haven't dropped my iPad yet (hope that I never do), but this case seems like it offers a good amount of protection. The case looks really nice, seems well made, seems to protect the iPad well and while adding a bit of size to it, still seems to have a "streamlined" feel to it. Now there are some complaints that I have. The first being that when standing up straight in landscape mode, the iPad will wobble and fall over pretty easily, I almost have to stand it up against something. Kinda defeats that whole purpose. The second complaint is that when opening the cover, you have to dig your nail in to get a a grip so you can pull it open. Now I am worried about dropping my iPad, contemplating getting Applecare+, but spending $150 to protect my iPad is a lot of money after I already spent $600. Anyone out there know how well this case does with drops? Overall I like this case, contrary to other reviews, I'd say my 4th gen iPad fits in rather well (it was very tight to get in and even harder to get out), it looks good and seems to add a good deal of protection. Not perfect, but really good.

    Surprised I actually liked it!

    I bought this at my local Target, well aware of the fact that a good majority of Apple customers hated this product. I had purchased another case third-party and was pleased with it, but I really wanted to see what all the fuss was about with the Smart Case. I went in ready to hate it, but I found myself falling in love with it! It fits my 3rd gen iPad PERFECTLY, and the magnets feel strong. It adds the right amount of protection but keeps the profile slim, which is what I wanted. Can't speak for others, but this case works brilliantly for me. Also, the light grey color is really attractive and hides fingerprints a lot better then my Black minji case.

    Ipad smart case

    Having paid a LOT of money for apple goods I am very disappointed that this case is loose around the iPad 4. Only bought it because it was perfect for iPad 3. Why can't they just make adjustments to fit the new iPads. Now I'm stuck with it because the shop I got it from wont refund. It's really not fair of apple to do this to customers who spend vast amounts of money. Really annoyed!

    Smart case

    • Written by from Truro

    7 of 8 people found this useful

    I purchased a smart case having looked at all the other alternatives. My first thought was it is made by Apple so the design and simplicity are going to be there and I was right. It fits like a glove and still retains the slim features of the iPad. Read reviews saying the edges are sharp and I agree but I tend to put my iPad on my lap or on a table and it is then not an issue. The only problem is the price. £39 is a lot of money. I got mine in of all places Sainsburys where they are selling them with ten percent off. Still £35 though. Having said all this the smart case is protecting a £400 minimum piece of quality tech and it needs proper protection. Buy one if your pocket will allow you to.

    IPad Case

    • Written by from Bathurst

    11 of 30 people found this useful

    I bought two cases, one for my wife and one for me with the Ipad 4. I am very disappointed in the functioning of this cover, it is not staying on the Ipad as experessed in the sales description of the item. I spent 150.00$ for two of them in leather and I am extremely disappointed for this purchase, I will have to find some other mechanism to satisfied my need. I am surprise that apple rush this product out without proper testing prior to put it out on the market. I understand about the race in the field however, the customer is the one that should be satisfied witht he product and it will sell better if customer is satisfied, nevermind the share holder that are looking to increase their proffit margin, they are greedy like the rest of these companies. Remember for it to have a good reputation, consistancy in the quality of the product sold should be the number one concern for continious proffitability, and good return for the share holders. Thanks.

    This case will make you mad

    • Written by from Louisville

    I'll start with the good. It does protect your ipad and has a Smart Cover.
    The bad: It does not really fit. My ipad is constantly sliding around, popping out of the shell, and shifting to where can't use the lock button or headphone jack.
    The cover when folded into a stand is not very stable. I have had it fall over too many times to count. It just does not create a stable foundation to sit on.
    The last problem I have with this case is that it is not comfortable to hold. Why Apple? You bride yourselves on design and function and you stamped your name on this. Shame on you.

    iPad 4: Imperfect Fit, outstanding Material Quality & Viewing Angles.

    • Written by from WASHINGTON

    11 of 13 people found this useful

    Fits iPad 2 perfectly, iPad 4 a hair roomy. I tried a second case of the same make and it had more acceptable tolerance.

    The material quality is outstanding and the grip lets you achieve a CLEVER undocumented intermediate viewing angle with the front flap segments rolled in at less overlap (easier to demo this than explain).

    • Stand-Up Angle (for FaceTime) only works with soft inner face of flap rolled to the outside; otherwise it will fall over.
    • Lowest Angle: Do the opposite (since it won't fall over) and protect soft face from needlessly catching debris.
    • Intermediate Angle: Same. Touch Typing ergonomics at this angle are astonishingly clever; make bluetooth keyboard cases redundant, click stands look silly.

    The case's virtues & versatility are revealed over the course of usage. I like mine more everyday.

    I bought this case with the intent of having a case that would protect the iPad and still provide all the functions of the smart cover; it the end it doesn't it works horribly as a stand. My iPad has fallen over backward more times than I care to count in the last 3 days.. I am waiting for it to break the iPad since it's so bad.

    I brought this cover after receiving an iPad 3 as a Christmas present, I was dubious about buying it after reading reviews about it not fitting the iPad properly. I took the chance and brought it and couldn't be happier, it looks great, fits perfectly and was easy to put on. I recommend this product to anyone with an iPad 3!!!

    I love my Smart Cover for my iPad. I was very excited to see the Smart Case. I was very disappointed when I got it. It is flimsy and reminds me a lot of an egg carton. The edges are sharp and hurt my hands after a bit of use. Less than a week later and I have a new case - the iskin solo that allows me to use my Smart Cover, which is awesome!!

    False advertising

    • Written by from Cambridge

    It says it is for the 2nd gen ipad. The ipad 2 will fit in it but it is very loose and the 30pin port doesn't line up correctly nor does the headphone jack. This is because it is designed for the ipad 3 which is slightly larger in all dimensions. I have to remove the case to charge it so the charging port doesn't get damaged.

    The corners are slightly sharp and the cover can be fiddly to open, I advise you get it in a dark colour because dirt is quite visible on the blue and I would assume it is the same for the other light colours.

    On the other hand it is a well designed, clever and useful case.

    Overall, it's a good case with an ipad 3 but not perfect and it's not worth the trouble if you own an ipad 2.

    great case

    Bought an iPad 4 for Christmas. Found it needed protection and also something to make it less slippery.
    Bought the light grey to go with the white on my iPad. It looks great. It fits snugly and there are no sharp edges. It does not collapse when standing up providing you fold it in the correct way.
    All the holes line up and there are no problems when using various cables.
    I wonder if users who experience problems may have been unfortunate and had a non original version.

    As previous reviewers have stated it is a very cheap looking for the expensive price tag, however, with a puppy and a toddler in the house it's indispensable and much cheaper than replacing an iPad!

    I'm not sure wha is with some of these overly harsh reviews. These covers are a matter of preference. Belkin and some other 3rd party vendors make a more "professional" case with slots for business cards, leather binding, etc. I don't use the ipad for business, so to me anything overly professional makes me feel like I'm at work. The light grey cover looks fantastic encasing the white ipad. The look is clean, the use is functional and the design and overal bulk is minimal. Overall a very nice compliment to your new device.

    Better case, but not best.

    I know there is a lot of personal opinion that goes into these reviews, so here goes one person's opinion. First off, good case. Does the job ... but ... I came from 1st gen and the 1st gen case with its solid top flap works better then the quad-divided, fold-into-a-triangle-shape flap, just sayin'. Second, I read a number of reviews that said the case had "shape" edges. Sharp? Really. I ended up going to a Mac store to see and feel these sharp edged cases. In my opinion, not sharp ... not at all.
    I liked the ability to put a message on the case. I like that all the buttons work very well. I like that all the ports and lenses line up well. All in all, another well built, well thought out Apple product. I've come to expect nothing less. But I would have liked a solid front cover like the 1st gen iPad case had ... just sayin'.
