Reviews for iPad Smart Cover - Leather - Navy

Now after six mon of use it's all broken in and perfect it has a patina and scratches that look fantastic I love it

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 bought this case since ipad 2 came out, and still using this case on my current i3. I would say this smart case is pretty good, some reviews said that the magnetic doesn't hold on to iPad as firm as it used to, however magnetic will always weaken as time goes, this is undeniable, but the smart case still works perfectly. Some scarfs are on the case and oils, i kinda like it bc it shows how the case has been protecting your pad, and i don't think that's even close from being a problem.

I have owned the Smart Cover for only a month, but have grown to love the product. If I am viewing something in portrait, I will fold up the cover and use it as a handle. In landscape, I jump between the two different presentation angles. If I plan on typing it will be at the lower angle. The on/off works all the time, which is a very nice feature. I expect that the leather will age, but that is normal for leather and if I wanted it to look the same (all the time) I could have bought the plastic cover. I haven't had any issues with how it attaches or detaches and I like that feature also.

I have a white IPad 2. Just love how the navy blue adds just the right amount of color. I thought there would be a period of breaking in the leather. It has worked great from day one. Plus, blue is a favorite color of mine. I would recommend :)

Ok so first off, people need to understand the usability of this product.
If you are a clumsy person and or a person that just can't seem to take care of his things, then this is not the right cover to use. Ived had my IPad 2 for nearly six months now and have not dropped or scratched anything on it. Sometime I treat it better than one of my own kids.
This smart cover is gorges and it feels really nice to the touch it does exactly what it says nothing more nothing less. I have the Polyurethane - Light Gray one aswell and they are totally different in feel. I do love ussing both off and on. I have not had the color leak on anything yet though I dought I will see that since my iPad is black, but if it does I guess I will live with that as this is ideally what ends up happening wen you tan hide that dark. Over all I am very happy an excited to own and use this wonderful product.

The leather looks good when you first get it, but the colour eventually rubs off a bit and it absorbs oil from your skin making the cover look dirty and gross. The magnets don't do a very good job of securing the Smart Cover to the iPad and the cover can pop off easily. I'm fairly disappointed as Apple usually makes great products.

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!!

I’ve had the leather cover 8 months now and still love it! I purchased the white iPad which gives it a nautical look and feel. It’s ultra sharp in the typing position while the outside feels like a well worn baseball glove. The iPad is a computer and should be treated like one. Many others bellyache it does not cover the backside of the devise. When the iPad is entirely covered it reminds me of the plastic on my grandmothers couch. Why cover up something so elegant?

Let me start with the good: the magnetic hinge is brilliant. The folding and using as a angled support, with a magnetic contact is again brilliant. The leather is acceptable quality I think it could use a richer look.
The bad: This cover does not have protection for back side. Worst of all it needs the ability to allow your hand can slide in back and be able to hold the slippery little iPad. Therefore, I will need to buy another case if I plan to use to carry anywhere outside my house. :(
