    Perfect match for my iPad 2

    • Written by from Lewisville

    This light grey smart cover looks great with the silver/grey color on the back of the iPad. And I really like the way it works ... very creative of Apple & an excellent example of how this company thinks outside the box. Now that I've used it for a while, I can't imagine having an iPad without this smart cover. This cover feels great to the touch too, soft, velvety, yet grippy.

    By the way, Belkin makes a slim "Snap Shield" cover for the back of the iPad that works great with this smart cover, if you worry about scratching the aluminum back. Might be cheaper to just go with the Apple smart case though.

    There is no reason to hate this accessory at all. I just bought one for my new iPad i just bought, and it is wonderful! It is to put on and it kind of cleans the screen. I also love the stand/keyboard angles the smart cover provides. Overall, it's a great accessory for anyone.

    Great accessory

    • Written by from Jacksonville

    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.

    Smart Cover for Smart Users

    • Written by from Anaheim

    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.

    Quite ingenious actually

    • Written by from San Francisco

    The way the Smart Cover adheres, is very clever and one has to give acclaim to the industrial designers at Apple who came up with the idea. It works very well. I am concerned about the back side, an area that is exposed and somewhat slippery. Since this is just a cover, and not a case, I can't fault it for that. As a cover, it does the job. I bought the lt gray for the white New iPad. Very pleased overall.

    Great quality and still lin great shape a year later.

    • Written by from lock haven

    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 received the white iPad 2 along with this cover for Christmas, and I travel from home and school with it every day. It has kept the screen safe with no problems. I highly recommend this product.

    I bought the light gray one. Love it! It is not caring the entire iPad but still, I bought a plastic cover for the back. It's working great. Good looking.

    Very happy with this cover

    • Written by from Palo Alto

    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.

    Awesome

    • Written by from Taberg

    This cover is great. Does exactly as advertised, very fun and easy to use. It's also very helpful, but probably at least $10 overpriced.
