Reviews for iPad Smart Cover - Polyurethane - Light Gray

I got a smart case and the magnets didn't work from day one as so as I put it on the ipad it wouldn't stick to the screen and it was loose

The cover looks nice but its nearly useless. First, there is not vertical orientation stand. Also in vertical, it only fits on the left so if you hold the ipad with your left hand you have to hold the awkward feeling cover as well. It doesn't fit on the right side at all. Next, if you are trying to use the horizontal stand anywhere except a table it won't work. There are two horizontal stand modes and neither works well if you are sitting it flat on a table. The more upright horizontal stand ends up falling over simply because there isn't enough weight or size in the cover. If you're laying in bed and try to prop it up it just won't work. It falls backward instead. The flatter stand barely stays in place and the cover snaps off regularly. Ultimately this cover is a useless waste of money. It looks pretty but it doesn't work in the simplest of uses other than a tabletop. Save your money and buy a more solid third party cover/case.

This was a complete waste of money. . I would better investing my money in something else .

This cover blocks the buttons and screws up the camera. It makes it hard to use the charger. The edges are sharp. The original cover seems like a whole different cover. Please try this product in the store before you purchase.

Perfect product at first, but after two months it no longer stuck well to my iPad and it didn't serve it's purpose. Turned out to be a waste.

New Ipad3, bought smart cover that only covers front with magnetized attachment. Watch out!!! I picked up the Ipad (thumb on cover rest of fingers on back) and the magnet cover came off and allowing my Day Old Ipad to hit concrete. I've had my Ipad1 from just shortly after they came out and never dropped it. Real disappointed when Best Buy told me sorry nothing they could do, i didn't buy their protection package (which was expensive compared to Apple's).

Went to Apple store and they replaced it with nominal fee plus gave me deal on Apple plan for two years. Apple I appreciate it, Best Buy go #*&*!^ yourself.

#1 - Only worked for a few days, then I noticed it wasn't sleeping...therefore draining the battery it seemed.
#2 - Cover at hinge point not too secure.
#3 - Doesn't fold back with precision. Always having to fiddle with fold to get it to settle properly.
#4 - The felt texture attracts every little bit of dirt. So it feels like you're about to cover up your iPad screen with a dirty cover.
#5 - I agree that the backside scratches easily since this cover does not protect the backside in any fashion. Beware of the surface you place your iPad on!

I purchased a few of these for iPads I purchased for myself and as gifts. Yeesh. They leave the vulnerable back exposed. And the magnet is not a secure hold. My iPad slipped out of my bag when I was getting into the car, I grabbed to retrieve it and the smart cover let go, so I have a less than new looking iPad which is frustrating since the equipment is costly! Another time I was on the sofa reading and the "smart" cover let go and the iPad fell on the tile floor and there is damage to the corner. However, the iPad seems to be pretty durable because I have no problem with the machine itself, despite its two falls. I searched online and wound up getting another brand (expensive yes!) but they are really, really nice. I love the other brand's iPhone cover with the wristlet; great for letting you carry just the phone with you.

I have to say this is one apple product that just doesn't seem to work well. After selecting my iPad, the person helping me informed me I could select a cover (if needed) while she pulled the product from the back room. I was looking at some full wrap around covers based on greater piece of mind. Upon returning the lady informed me that I could only get this new cover because it's the only one available for the iPad 2. That was my only option for a cover after asking her questions about it. I got the cover and immediately the second person helping me setup the iPad could not get the cover to mount. I guess this should have been my first sign. The cover routinely causes the iPad to fall over if I have to touch the screen on the top. If I hand the iPad to someone for review the folded cover is the first thing to fall off. On top of all that the magnet that hold it in place has worn off the coating from the iPad.
