    Worst apple purchase i made

    This is a truly disappointing apple product.

    I have an ipad 3, The case works OK in terms of the ipad sitting inside it, but the so called 'propping up' that you are able to do with the rear of the case doesnt work.

    In the upright position, there is a danger it will fall over, so you have to hold it steady. The whole rear of the case feels unstable, and not thought through. It sags when its in the lower position too, meaning the screen is only slightly inclined when in this position. The ipad cover is much better and i wish i had bought that instead.

    Also the headphone jack doesnt fit some headphone jacks so you have to partiallly remove the case to listen to music.

    These are simple things! Apple what happened here? And can i get my money back?

    iPad smart case - iPad 4

    I wanted a case rather than just a cover for the front, but I wish I had just got the cover and bought a case for the back somewhere else. It feels loose on my iPad though it isn't in any danger of falling out. However, the sides of the case come up above the surface of the iPad so dust or crumbs collect around the edges, or fall inside the case (as it isn't a tight fit), as you can't brush them off.
    It also makes the iPad seem bigger because it comes up towards the front at an angle instead of hugging the sides. In addition to this it is fiddly to actually lift the cover up because the case comes out further than the cover all round, you need to have decent finger nails to get under the cover to lift it.
    The cover does the job of covering, but for typing it is too shallow an angle, and for watching TV it is very precarious, just a small tap of the screen knocks it over.

    Very disappointed, particularly as they are SO expensive compared to other brands. Would have got 2 stars but the price knocks it down to 1.

    Not a good fit

    Disappointed I've just had this as a Christmas present as i found the previous screen cover only, wasn't enough protection. However it doesn't fit snug enough into the smartcase and the headphone socket is also causes a problem with sound when headphones are connected.

    smart case not a perfect fit for 4th gen iPad

    I gave single star b'cos the case is not snug fitting the new iPad (4th gen). Very disappointing product from apple for such an expensive case, 40quit!! .
    The case is very loose especially on the longer sides of the pad, the case slips off. The case is just touching the edges not covering and holding the sides, the case stays by holding just 4corners of the pad. The cover should have made slightly smaller in size or more overlapping on to the bezel, another 3millis should have been perfect. Overall this case is not perfect for iPad 4.

    Poor fit, uncomfortable to hold

    I have an ipad w/ retina and lightning connector and I find that the case does not fit well at all. The case is constantly popping off around the edges and there are visible gaps around the edge. The case is also not comfortable to hold thanks to way the two sides of the case are sandwiched and bonded together: the edge of the case is very sharp and rigid. The only thing going for the case is its looks and the ipad screen goes off when the cover is closed.

    It's annoying and doesn't even sit my iPad up secure. So always having to hold it!

    High hopes

    My wife has a Smart Cover for her iPad, works a treat, so when I saw they did a smart case in dark grey I decided to get one.

    I shouldn't have, it adds a good 10mm to the top and sides making it feel bulky, it has a deep lip from the edge to the screen, as already mentioned, the cover doesn't stay closed when resting on the hinged edge, forget turning it upside down as the cover just slowly slides down under it's own weight then flops open.

    The stand folded, it doesn't keep the iPad in place and tends to spring out flattening the tilt of the screen.

    Again, seeing as Apple make the camera connection kit for the iPad, you'd think they'd make the dock connector big enough to fit, it doesn't and if you do squeeze it in the polyurethane spits it back out.

    Sorry Apple, you need to take this one back to the drawing board. Too many design faults and much better Smart Cover and 3rd party back cover combinations available to make this worth considering, wish I had read the reviews first.

    Don't believe the hype

    I have an iPad 2, iPhone, MacBook Pro, Time Machine, Apple TV. My wife and kids all have iPhones so I'm all hooked up, right.

    I am except for this, the fit is poor, use it folded to make your iPad keyboard friendly and it bounces. Use it on a plane to watch films and any minor turbulence I feel the need to hold onto it like a lympit such is the poor stability. I hate to say this I really do but this is the worst Apple product I've ever bought.

    Poor design

    I bought this with the camera adapter and the apple rep said nothing.. I was pleased with everything until I tried to connect the camera adapter.. The hole at the bottom of the case will ONLY take the power adaptor NOT the camera adapter as the hole is to small.. So what puzzles me is 1) why the apple rep didn't say anything (poor product knowledge) and more importantly 2) both products are made by Apple so why didn't they just resolve it and make the case so that it will accommodate the adapter.. Poorly thought out Apple, your products aren't cheap so they should be better thought out.. Dissapointing to say the least..
