    Well below Apple's typical standards

    I bought this for $40 expecting a case living up to Apple's extraordinary standards.
    What I received was a piece of junk I think I'll return.

    The hinge is wobbly and the iPad feels like it will fall over face-forward when in the upright position.

    The holes for the switch and headphone jack are not centered, making them difficult to access.

    But worst of all... When you open the case, I would have expected the flap to magnetically stick to the back so that I can hold one-handed without half the flap hanging down. That just looks stupid and gets in the way.

    Better advice: buy the Smart Cover and the Belkin plastic back with the embedded magnet. That combination actually had some thought put into it.

    Really Apple!? You can do better. And I expect you. Steve would have as well.

    iPad and smart cover

    So far, very much a enjoying my new IPad but after getting hands on the smart cover I must say that the value for money just isn't there. It does have some neat feature but just not worth the money. What apple needs to develop is something that has similar neat features but more importantly something that protects our little treasure from accidental breakage. Your basically putting a frail geek into a rugby match :-)

    Not a well-thought-out Apple product

    I don't know why anybody would be satisfied paying $45 for this cover. I expected a quality product, as that's the reputation of Apple, but this one really let me down.

    1. Like everyone else is saying, the cover does not include backside protection (for $45 you'd think it would).
    2. My biggest beef is that the cover detaches itself way too easily. For example, after a day at work I put my iPad in my bag and a simple rub of the cover on the inside of the bag makes the cover come off.

    If you're somebody looking for durability in a cover, this is definitely not the right cover for you. Hoping for better solutions from Apple in the future!

    Weak

    Does not stay on well. Is not sturdy in the various positions and no good if there are kids in the house. Screen does not always go off when it is closed.
