The iPad isn't the same without this cover. It stays on and comes back off effortlessly. It's also really useful in its two stand positions. It's not a full blown case that can protect your iPad from anything but for those looking to protect their screen and show off the design it's a great choice.

Ugh I'm tired of reading other people's comments trashing this product so I wanted to help the defense....

It's apparent a lot of those people griping about the product don't bother to read the product descriptions or even look at the pictures where the first major design characteristic is apparent. It is NOT meant to protect the back; it is only designed to protect the screen. Apple never states this and the videos and pictures are more than enough to let us know this. It WILL protect the back if you fold it over itself when using the iPad.

Also, it is NOT meant for heavy duty use but, rather, more like something to prop the iPad up for ease of usage while typing or viewing. If you try to pick up your iPad with a lightweight cover that's magnetically attached (aka a Smart Cover), don't be surprised by the consequences. If you take care of your iPad then you should be fine and won’t have to rely on a thin piece of fabric and some embedded magnets to do the taking care of for you. Apple products were probably not designed for you then, if that’s not the case.

Sure, accidents happen all of us but don’t blame the Smart Cover for it. If you want great protection AND still want it to be slim like the Smart Cover, then good luck to you! (and let me know where to find it). I’m sure Apple is working on perfecting this or other covers as I type.

I bought a light gray Smart Cover for my new iPad (3rd Gen) and I LOVE it so far. I did buy it for aesthetic looks because, like Steve Jobs (RIP), I wanted something minimalistic great to show off my iPad and its sleekness, that can also give it a fighting chance against dust, fingerprints, and scratches on the screen (not me tearing the cover off or carelessly leaving it at the mercy of my lap). I also bought a third-party sleeve/pocket for it to so I can store it inside when I’m taking the new iPad to work, school, and in between, I suggest that.

My only concern is that the magnets won’t always keep the Smart Cover closed, but then they ARE magnets and I knew that when I bought it. I’m surprised at how the magnets don’t mess up the electronics inside! Anyway this would probably be the only legit concern and would give it a 4-star rating....but am giving it a 5-star just because it's Apple. There I said it.

I use my iPad all day long every day for a year now and the light gray over still looks good. I occasionally wipe dirt off with a diluted dish soap and water. It's a bit pricy but it is the best option. I highly recomend it.

I'm surprised to see the complaints about the magnets not working. Has worked exactly as advertised for me for about 6 months now. I did buy an additional inexpensive back cover (Kensington?) which is compatible with the apple front cover, and offers a little more peace of mind plus a better grip on the otherwise slippery metal back. So the 2 products combined make for an ideal solution IMO.
