Reviews for iPad Smart Cover - Polyurethane - Green

The Smart Cover seems like a great accessory to me. I can't imagine my iPad without the Smart Cover. It works perfectly and lasts. The one thing I don't like is that my iPad now has one little tiny spot on the side where the anodized finish has worn away, leaving shiny aluminum. This is from the Smart Cover hinge. No big deal, though. The benefits far outweigh the cost of a Smart Cover.

I like this smart cover. It covers the screen and not the back of the iPad. But it does a good job covering the screen. Thin enough, washable.

To those who complain about the low quality of this product and how this tarnishes apple's overall "quality" standards: I simply laugh at you. You bought apple, therefore you should alrady know you're not purchasing for durability purposes. Get real people.

As for this Smart Cover, remember its a cover, not a case. If it were to "protect" our precious iPads, apple would've charged us at least double and even perhaps triple the amount for it. The cover's sleek and savvy design allows me to use my iPad as my alarm clock and digital picture farme when I sleep, which is a plus. The magnets excretes a bit of hinge grease over time (4 months now) but it wipes off easy with no signs of weakening. My green cover is quite dirty now (it dirties very easily [I ONLY use my iPad at home]), however this worn in look makes me cherish the cover even more, as if it gave my iPad some character. For 40 dollars, you can easily grab multiple generic brand covers for way less. But if those fail, you'd feel guilty for not buying this one. At least with this one, you could see apple's true 'quality' standards. Btw, I have generic ones on the way, and I will update with my comparison.

Simply put, this is one 'cool' cover.

I really do love the way the smart cover turns the screen off and on. To really make this a five star rating, a protective back cover needs to be included with the top. I had to purchase that separate.
