    I have used this for over 6 months..no problems. Saves the battery, works great as two angle stand, easily cleaned the vinyl with soft cloth and mild soap, magnets continue to work fine...no problem, microfiber does keep screen safe and cleans it as well. Most of all...it's slim great looking design compliments the Apple IPad design and impresses people when they see me using it's functions. If you other critics want full protection, you should have bought a laptop with a case!
    Just buy one.

    Works nicely on the iPAD 3rd Gen. Where are the black and red covers?

    I think it is a great way to cover\protect your iPad's screen. My iPad is never without it.

    It is a great addition.

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

    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.

    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

    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.

    This one is great. I've read reviews that the leather one can stretch over time, but with this one it doesn't seem to be the case (no pun intended).

    The cover is sleek and very handy when propping it up to place on the table. It's not meant to be handled roughly, because it's magnetic it comes off, however still helps protect the screen. The back is not protected, but I purchased a cover separately for it. Anyway, I am pleased with it.

    When SJ announced this when IPad2 came out I thot he was a mind reader. I love the thinness of iPad but u do need to protect the glass. But wrapping it in something thick is ridiculous. This solves the problem - protects the glass and preserves the small size. The back is aluminum so its very tough so not covering that is no big deal. Plus the back of an iPad is beautiful - why cover it up!? And of course the whole way the cover works is just cool.

    My only advice is get a very dark color. I got a red leather one and if it gets stained its hard to clean stained leather (not an Apple problem its just the way leather is). So i got a black one and stains are not a problem. I suppose the grey one might be good for dirt as well.

    Can't imagine my iPad without this cover. Also i was able to move my black one over to my 3rd gen iPad with no problem.

    i mostly use my iPad at home, but id feel safe having this case on the move

    i'd probably put it in a neoprene sleeve when its in my backpack or something, but otherwise it works really well just to protect the glass

    the aluminum is very, very durable so I'm not worried about dings and scratches- think of it this way: do many people need a permanent case for their MacBooks? those thinks are totally scratch resistant

    Excellent Color & Case

    I agree with Christopher S from Burlington, this is a great cover, it is not a case. I have not had any mechanical problems whatsoever; it works as promised. As added protection you can purchase from Incase a neoprene sleeve - it goes hand in hand.

    More useful than I thought

    I just upgraded from the original iPad to the new one, and I always thought the Smart Cover was kinda goofy.

    But now that I have one, I realize just how useful it is. Sure, it wakes the iPad up and puts it to sleep, and it serves as a multi-position stand.

    But the thing I love most is that when you flip it open, it protects the back of the iPad -- and makes it easier to grip! It's truly one of the more clever iPad accessories.

    Personally, I think this is a great cover. If you have half a brain, you realize by the name this is a *cover*, not a *case*, which seems to be a reason for a lot of these poor ratings. If you want a case to fully protect your iPad, this is not what you're looking for. It's excellent for a quick glass protector, simple stand, and even a screen cleaner.

    I'm rough on electronics, but this cover works great for my needs. When I store it I have the cover on, in my laptop bag, with the aluminum side against a soft wall (so not to scratch the iPad with other loose items).

    I've never had any mechanical issue with the cover. It's stayed magnetized and haven't had any problem with the hinges. I only replaced it because I wanted the new dark gray over the blue which I purchased with the iPad 2 when it was first released.

    Polyurethane pink cover

    • Written by from Rochester

    This is a great cover for your iPad2. It goes on easily and folds back for a good grip to hold the iPad on your thighs when sitting in a chair. Also it rolls back easily to use on a table for typing. It cleans up clean as new with a wet soapy rag. No color has come off mine and I've washed it several times. I would not hesitate to recommend this cover. I do think they are over priced and never on sale. But no alternative cover will put the iPad to sleep.

    First of all it's not a case it's a cover. It does what it's suppose to, protects the screen and looks good while doing. Is it worth $40.00 dollars? No,but if you buy a cheap imatation it does not last at all. I think it's an awesome cover!

    Great magnetic hinges; easy to use

    I've had this cover for nearly a year and love it. The magnetic hinges are fool proof and click into place cleanly. The cover is robust and the flip panels create a wide variety of stands and ways to hold onto the i-Pad. I would miss this cover now that I've gotten so used to it. I recommend this cover without reservation.

    Perfection in design

    • Written by from Lewisville

    The iPad 2 Smart Cover does everything it is advertised to do and it does it FLAWLESSLY. And contrary to what another user states on their review, this cover has never, ever put one single scratch on my iPad, so do not worry about that at all. In my experience, that claim is totally unfounded. And I pull off and put back on my smart cover often because I use the iPad charging dock. The cover goes on and comes off so pleasantly easy. It realigns perfectly and harmlessly every time.
    I bought this cover 6 months ago, thinking I'd probably eventually "upgrade" to the leather smart cover when this one began to wear. 6 months later and my smart cover still looks and performs like new. And the polyurethane feels so good to the touch ... kind of like soft, brushed suede leather. The leather version sounds nice, but now I would never part with my polyurethane version (I have the light grey color which blends beautifully with the silver back metal of the iPad).

    I love the "multi-use" screen cover. It's so helpful to have to have a fingerprint cleaner and a stand, all the magnet hasn't worn out and i've had it for 6 months. great product and worth the money.
