    Great design. Poor choice of materials.

    Well, the design of the smart cover is brilliant. I protects the screen, shuts the iPad on and off, acts as a stand, and does all this without adding hardly any bulk to the iPad like so many portfolio cases do.

    So why only three stars? Poor material choice. The polyurethane feels really nice, but it scratches and stains too easily. It got marks from just being in my backpack a few hours. It's like a you need to buy a case for your case. Also, stronger magnets would be nice to keep the case closed.

    Was this useful? Great design. Poor choice of materials.

    Not worth the money

    While the design is visually appealing and clever, the actual experience is anything but satisfactory. The magnet that holds the cover to the iPad is not very strong. Several times each day, the cover and the iPad disconnect from each other which often means the iPad falls whatever distance to the nearest surface. It also disconnects when it is in my purse or laptop bag. I have scratched my screen as items shift in my bag and the screen is no longer protected. You can find much better options with a google search.

    This is the biggest piece of trash I have ever spent money on. I would return it, but this product isn't worth the cost of shipping. I am truly dumbfounded as to why apple would attatch their name to something so rediculous.

    i bought this because of the bulk of my griffin intellicase..bad decision

    just 2 days of use later the back is filled with scratches..i have to carry it around like a delicate piece of equipment, even when handling the case, the magnets aren't strong enough to hold while watching movies. for the price its NOT worth it.

    yeah the no bulk is a great factor and the suede cleans the screen but if you already have a screen protector the suede does nothing and even if you don't, all you'll get is dust on the screen which the suede will help in comparison to a regular magnetic on/off case.

    i am a 100% apple customer, own everything by them and love everything, but this was a disappoinment

    Smart cover? Dumb cover.

    This was a waste of money. The magnet is weak. Stand function is weak. Protection is far from sufficient. Definitely not a good option if kids will be using it. I upgraded from the original iPad and case and there weren't many Apple-recommended options. Throwing this one away and buying a 3rd party case.

    Sleek garbage

    It was completely useless, offered no protection, did not stand firmly, kept dropping off. I had to constantly worry about not knocking it down while using the iPad. If you're buying it for the cool factor remember that it won't look very cool when it hardly stays on. This is not a practical choice by any standards.

    Good, but buy the darker colors

    Works well; protects screen when your not using it, and is a good stand. Does show dirt on lighter colors, so buy the darker ones.

    The cover leaves dusty lines on the iPad and the magnet is weak. The cover is not what they show you don't waste your money. Look for a different style. I made a felt sleeve that I use all the time.

    The Smart Cover improves the iPad experience. Definitely worth the investment.

    It keeps coming off! I will sell mine for $.50! I can't afford to risk my iPAD. If buy one, you will agree!

    keeps falling off easily, not sure if I received a flawed one or it is the same for every smart cover. Extremely disappointed.

    It's a cool idea and looks cool but it leaves lines on my iPad screen. :( and it doesn't cover the back of the iPad.

    Of all the products bought from Apple over the years, this was only disappointment. Cover does not stay on and, despite all the warnings I read, still managed to have iPad slip out and crack. New iPad, one week old, not happy. Immediately put it in my old case and there it will stay, not paying the $300 to get it replaced.

    Im well pleased with the cover. I think that it is important to note that this isn't marketed as a case that is going to protect against drop damage or protecting all surfaces - it magnetically sticks on (ie easy removal), covers the screen and serves as two different stands. It is what it is - cant knock it for not being a case. Does what it's supposed to do well.

    The cover slips, the iPad turns on and off when carring the iPad with the cover on. The cover doesn't allow the user to prop the iPad at an angle for use.

    Only Apple "Cases" for iPad Nu?

    • Written by from Washington

    Noticed that the store only sells Apple folding covers. The folding covers don't protect the back which gets really scratched up. Going to go looking at other stores for all peripherals because it is easer to just order all together

    For what this case is designed to do it is wonderful. People expect too much of it but for what it is designed to do it works great. It isn't too flimsy and it protects the screen.

    elegant minimalist design

    • Written by from Collegeville

    I don't want a cover that covers too much of the iPad. I just need something to protect the screen from dust and scratches. I don't feel the bottom needs to be wrapped up since i don't' wrap up my apple computer either. So, this cover protects the screen but also showcases the beauty and elegance of the iPad itself. It's a perfect minimalist design for me.
