iPad Smart Cover - Leather - Black

So much more than a case, the Smart Cover was designed alongside iPad to be its perfect match: a thin, durable cover that magnetically aligns for a perfect fit. It automatically wakes and sleeps your iPad. It’s a handy stand for reading, watching, and typing. Its microfiber lining keeps your iPad screen clean. And it’s a way to make your iPad as personal on the outside as it is on the inside.

The slim, yet sturdy Smart Cover protects your iPad screen without covering up its durable aluminum back. So your iPad still looks and feels like an iPad — just with a little extra protection.

Magnetic connection.

An aluminum hinge magnetically aligns the Smart Cover with iPad for a perfect fit. While magnets inside help it stay put.

Polyurethane design.

The Smart Cover now comes in five more vibrant polyurethane colors with a soft, color-matched microfiber lining that keeps your display clean.

Wake on open. Sleep on close.

Open the Smart Cover, and iPad magically wakes up. Close it, and iPad automatically goes to sleep.

FaceTime and movie stand.

    Great cover - great design

    • Written by from BETTENDORF

    After much research, I decided to purchase the black leather cover for my iPad 2.
    Aesthetics:
    + look and feel of the leather is great
    + metal hing and magnet look great

    Functionality:
    + magnetic attachment is great - easy to remove and re-attach
    + soft liner is great against the screen
    - folds only in one direction (microfiber out)

    Overall, I'd only remove less than one half of one star for it folding the the liner side out. Highly recommended if you need business black!     …More

    Fantastic

    • Written by from Pacific Palisades

    The Smart Cover is a fairly standard concept, but when I had to choose, the black leather was best, because...

    A: It isn't some ugly color.
    B: It is flexible
    C: Its kind of pretty.

    However, my two problems with it, are...

    A: The cover is easily scratched.
    B: The inside becomes really dusty.

    Overall, it's a good case, and thats why I'm typing on it now. :)     …More

    Missing a back?

    • Written by from Portland

    I love the magnetic attachment, works really well except this product is missing some sort of protection on the back side. Wish it had a back like a book jacket. …More

    I love it...

    • Written by from MILTON

    I have an iPad 3 with the previous generation plug. I love to dock my mobile devices in the Apple docks (no longer made) when I go to bed or when I'm syncing my devices. This way I can see the screen easily if I look from my bed. This cover either opens slightly so you can dock it with the cover on or you just pull it off and set it aside at night or when you're syncing and it's easy to attract back on. The leather is the quality choice in these covers and is felt on the screen side. I love the leather case. I will always go leather rather than plastic or faux leather. …More

    Frayed corners

    Stay away from the leather cover. The corners fray with light use. Not durable

    You can use a variety of things to clean it. I've used lens wipes, microfiber cloths and various other soft cloths like old t-shirts. The glass on the ipad is pretty hard but don't use anything that's abrasive. Stay away from any harsh chemical cleaner. …More
