Reviews for iPad Smart Cover - Leather - (PRODUCT) RED

The only reason why I purchased the leather one, was because I wanted a red one! It's a great cover, however it scratches WAY too easily and it is not durable at all.

Why apple makes a red urethane smart cover for the mini and not for the regular iPad is ridiculous! I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

At first I was very excited about a cover that would put my iPad to sleep every time I closed it, but after using it for a couple of days I began to realize that the cover was more trouble than it was worth. For instance: almost every time I rolled up the cover to set it on the table, the magnets on the cover would detach from the iPad causing the iPad to fall down on the table or even to the floor. The pros of this cover do not out weigh its cons.

When I saw the Red it looked stunning. Although as soon as you put it on the ipad, the colour doesn't look as nice. In fact it looks ugly. I would not recommend buying this.

Leather is nice and all, but this red has more orange to it than the deeper red that is advertised. My favourite colour is red but only if it's not an icky cherry red, rocket red, or any ghastly red with orange undertone from the 60s and 70s....almost like this cover. Also, if anything happens to spill on the case...just like leather, it'll stain and your iPad will look like it's been through some rough patches. I do not recommend this product if you have kids.

I request a deep, chocolately-red brown instead of the blah selection of leathers they have. And I request a deeper red, like dark blood, or something with a more blue undertone than that faded, blah red. If you're going to do gray 'colours', I suggest a darker gray, like gun metal or a French gray. Khaki is just horrifying.

Also....people love white. How come you don't have a plain white cover? White is allllll over Apple products, so why even bother with a light gray cover? Just make it white!!!

Looked great at first, but it is stained and dirty now, just from regular use. Moisture and oils from hands have made it look nasty and dark, and the edges are starting to curl up. Not worth $69 at all. Should have gotten the polyurethane.

Impossible to keep clean, scratches and stains extremely easily - stick with the cheaper non-leather cases

For as much as the leather cover costs, it is a disappointment. I got the red one which is coming apart after 7 months and it dyed my screen protector so that now I have to replace the very expensive screen protector as well as the cover. Not worth the cost in my opinion.

Good try, I just wish the back was protected, I don't want any scratches.

I used to have this for my iPad and loved it, for about a month before i realised that it didn't hold properly - like so many others have noticed the magnets are far too weak to hold, and that just means it will come off. Then one day the cover got stuck to some metal trays and as i lifted the tray the spine magnet broke free and dropped my iPad 3 foot to a stone floor - bye bye £600 iPad 2, hello £270 repair fee. Along side that the magnets in mine, on the spine, started to break through and caused huge scratches down the side of my iPad. All in all a fairly useless case, and i would advise looking elsewhere for protecting your investment. Practicality wise however it is excellent, just not worth the hassle of a broken iPad.

Breaks apart in around six or so months paid so much for this piece of you know what.
