    Good Concept Poor Durability

    • Written by from Bonita Springs

    I got this color to compliment my iPad and it has been impossible to keep clean. In addition to the staining on the cover from just handling the device the cover has essentially come apart at the seams with the leather no longer attached to the spine of the cover. I am very disappointed with the product quality.

    NOT worth the money - impossible to keep clean.

    I bought this cover because of the color and because it is leather. I use a walnut adhesive veneer on the back of my iPad so the cream color is the one I really wanted for aestheic reasons. It became so disgusting from skin oils that it is impossible to clean, and on this light color, it really is nasty looking. I really want a refund. I sincerely wish I could post an image of what this thing looks like.

    Perfect!

    I have had this cover for about two weeks and have had no trouble keeping it clean. I was not interested in a bulky, heavy case that concealed the beauty of the iPad. This cover is attractive and functional--perfect for use in my home. While it is a continuing effort keeping my iPhone screen clean, my iPad screen is always smudge-free thanks to the microfiber lining of this cover. While using the iPad in my lap, I simply wrap the cover around the back. When I am finished, I recover the screen and the beautiful silver back of my white iPad is on display. I imagine the cover will eventually need cleaning, and one reviewer highly recommended saddle soap, which I have on hand. For traveling, I purchased a separate padded carrying case with handles and a shoulder strap, and it completely encases the iPad and the leather cover.

    Avoid at all cost

    I really love the look of the cream leather cover attached to my white iPad2. This is a perfect match. However, this lovely look will last you around three days at a maximum. The cover gets stained very easily. Having somewhat greasy fingers is all that it takes to stain your cream cover - forever.

    Please note that i handle the cover with great care; i had the first one replaced because it could not be cleaned to my satisfaction, irrespective of the leather cleaner I used. It looked terrible after day 3. Got a replacement -> same thing within three days. I then had it replaced by a polyurethane-cover in grey.

    Most of the time, my iPad furthermore is inside a bag. I use the iPad like 2hrs a day. Even though I handle both, the iPad and the cream cover, with care, the leather cream cover stains almost immediately and there is NO - I repeat: NO - cleaner that would clean this cover to my satisfaction.

    I am now very happy with my grey poly-urethane cover. If you must have the creram leather cover, be prepared to wash your hands every time before touching the cover. There should be a protective cover available for the cream leather cover :)

    I like the protection my cream leather cover gives the screen. The problem I am having are the seams separating after less than a year of use. I use it for personal use only, and am not rough with it. I chose leather because I was expecting longer wear out of it.

    not a good idea

    • Written by from Meadville

    29 of 37 people found this useful

    Bought this cover a few days after I got the iPad. A big mistake. The cream color collects dirt and stain easily unless your desk and hands are completely clean. I thought the color was very chic and it matches with my white iPad but less than a week later the cover shows some noticeable dirt. This was even after I tried to keep my hands as clean as possible. I did some research and found a Kiwi leather cleaner was recommended. I applied and tried to clean.... Not really a smart idea either. The leather cleaner is sticky and did not see a significant effect. Don't get me wrong, I love the function of smart cover but the cream is a color to avoid. I am thinking about replacing it by black.

    Buy or exchange for another color

    The cream color is a magnet for permanent stains and discoloration. When I tried cleaning it with the most gentle leather cleaner the leather started to rub off. The quality of the leather is extremely poor, thin and porous. At least the Apple Store exchanged it with no argument, and recommended I get the black or navy leather cover.

    Leather cover

    • Written by from Waleska

    16 of 17 people found this useful

    The cover is sleek and protects the screen. The leather feels and looks nicer than the polyurethane. I do have the problem with the cover slipping off and it is a little awkward at times. Overall it does protect the screen and that was the main reason for the purchase.

    Dirty

    Don't get this color, it was stained in the first day of use through normal wear and tear. I am a road warrior and this might hold up to abuse, but I can't bring in front of a client.

    I exchanged for a red one, which I will be returning today as well. Apple has two kinds of covers their employees use in the Kiosk stores: black and navy. Must hide dirt better.

    Great design; works well. Looks great too.

    I purchased the cream color leather cover for my iPad 2.
    I like the simplicity of the design and the ease of using the cover in the various positions.
    I do find it easier and more comfortable to remove the leather cover when reading an iBook.
    I use saddle soap whenever the cover needs cleaning and it works just fine.
    I ordered the new iPad (Gen 3) today and the cream color leather cover to go with it.
    Works for me!

    Easy to keep clean

    • Written by from Mukilteo

    Real Leather can be WASHED with a mild soap and water. And it takes well to scrubbing with a soft bristle brush. I have had mine for several months and it only takes 5 minutes to clean it. (However I need to hang it up - it clings to a metal hanger, to dry). People who complain are not used to the joy of living with real leather. Do not be afraid of this color leather, mine looks like new after months of daily use (and the recent scrub down.)

    of course cream leather will show more stains easier. keep the hands washed ! its like a sports car with leather interior, nice, but gotta treat with care. Its really professional looking ! who wants to sit on hot sticky vinyl ? Same goes for this leather cover, built for looks and feel, not messy hands.

    I think the cream gets dirty to easly. I have a black leather to and I can't even tell if it's dirty or not. I would go with darker color like navy blue, black, or even red.

    This product is good but the cream color is the worst. DONOT AND I REPEAT DONOT get this color if you plan on having a clean looking iPad smart cover. I have had mine for about 3 months and I regret wasting the money i paid for it. Every stain no matter how many leather cleanings i have gotten doesn't work. I would not recommend this color at all.

    Very disappointed in this product. It will not stay on, stains easily, and mine was also made backwards....the leather is on the wrong side. Ridiculous to pay this much for a defective product. It is going back.

    Worst color & leather

    • Written by from Centennial

    126 of 156 people found this useful

    This is probably the worst color choice with the leather Smart Covers I've seen. I have had mine for 6 months and it's gotten worse and worse. It shows ever possible piece of dirt and grime that's every come in contact with it. I've tried a few different leather cleaners on it and nothing has ever worked to get it looking even descent again. I use mine for business and keep it as clean as possible, but at this point it still looks horrible! Saw my friend's poly version that he's had for the same amount of time and it looks perfect still.
