    What are you guys complaining about?

    • Written by from CHICAGO

    Its amazing! I saw these reviews and i really doubted them so i decided to try for myself its perfect for my iPad two, It feels nice and snug.. But i will admit it looks like it can fall out but i did a little 3 foot drop test over my mattress and it didn't seem to have any effect on the case... i love this product it feels nice and quality and its VERY slim so your iPad does not feel fat the volume is covered with an amazing rocker and it just overall is a great product not to mention the magnet which works great for unlocking and locking my iPad! Thanks apple!

    A very good case

    • Written by from Lawrenceville

    I was looking for a light case to protect my iPad from scratches. (I don't expect to take an iPad anywhere where it might be submersed and if I drop it that's my fault.) I liked the look of the Smart Case and was very pleased by how it appeared out of the box. Good snug fit and it works as described. The case feels good in my hands and it doesn't add a noticeable amount of bulk or weight to the iPad.

    Amazing case, but falls apart...

    • Written by from Powell river

    I purchased this case for my new iPad 3and loved it. Unfortunately within the first months the pins that run along the side to connect the 2 parts came undone and I lost one of the small pieced to put it back together. (that was after fixing it 5x before!)

    Wish it was made better as it really was a great case. Maybe I just got a dud. Lost my receipt so could not take it back to the store...

    Protection

    • Written by from Vancouver

    The iPad Smart case offers excellent all-around protection, but there are a few faults. Primarily, it is not a tight fit around an iPad, so the iPad jiggles around a bit as you walk. Secondly, the front portion does not stick as well as on a regular smart cover. Thirdly, the vertical stand function frequently falls over. But when you drop it, you forget about the little foibles, because it offers excellent protection.

    This is the case you need to buy!

    • Written by from Evanston

    I am not sure why all of the negative feedback. I just purchased this case and I love it. I don't have any challenges with the hinge. I love how it covers the entire case front and back and the material is really cool. All the buttons work very well when inside of the case. I am very glad I went with this purchase! The only way is to try it for your self and you can always take it back if you don't like it..

    Cheap

    • Written by from Cincinnati

    The way in which you can prop up the ipad with the cover is very unstable. The material is very flimsy and cheap. The felt-like interior of the cover attracts dirt, as does the outer material. For maybe $20 this would be an ok case. for $50? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!! Im such a sucker.

    Not perfect, but not bad

    • Written by from ALTO

    If you follow the instructions for inserting the iPad it fits easily and snugly.
    As opposed to what others have reported, the magnetic closure works just fine in the open or closed positions.

    One design flaw is that it is a little tricky to open since the edges are cut too short. The Marware version was a nicer fit, but only a minor issue as far as I'm concerned. Since the edges are not as round as I'd like, I carry it by the spine edge which is smooth.

    I bought the grey cover and it looks terrific.

    Returned

    • Written by from Roscoe

    Bought it with the iPad, thinking it'd be a good match to protect the tablet. It's cheap, flimsy, especially for the price, doesn't fit snug around the tablet. What's worse, the back of it is larger than the cover, both made out of the same cheap rubber material, meaning the two get stuck together and it's simply impossible to open the cover with a single motion. I should have stuck with my instincts, thinking that a molded piece of rubber shouldn't cost 10% of the price of a hyped up tablet... returned it.

    This is the Smart Case...not the Smart Cover.

    • Written by from Ashburn

    First, to the reviewer that complained that this only protects the screen - you bought the wrong product. That is the Smart Cover. This is the Smart Case and it covers the screen, sides and back of your iPad.

    With that said, I have been using a combination of the Smart Cover and a third party snap case for the back. That left much of my sides exposed and did not cover the corners very well. This case has a better fit and feel. It has better coverage. And, although it is not important, it displays the Apple logo on the back. Again, not important...but I do like that look a little better than a plain back. I wish they offered this Smart Case in the leather finishes (I do like the feel of my black leather Smart Cover), or a few more masculine colors (distressed brown, royal or navy blue, deeper red/maroon).

    Decent quality, poor fit

    • Written by from New York

    Pros: thin and light. Protects screen and probably provides some protection from impact if dropped.

    Cons: fits very poorly - way too loose - holding with one hand essentially pulls the cover off. Magnets won't hold the cover flapped back behind screen when open (not a surprise as smart cover won't either)

    Nice iPad Cover

    • Written by from Tel-Aviv

    The all new iPad smart case is nice.
    It's a little bit hard to open the cover and get the iPad out of the case.
    I recommend everybody that have the smart cover and they want to have full protection on their iPad as much as I do.

    For $49 - Pass

    • Written by from Summerville

    I bought this case for my iPad, thinking it would be the answer to the SmartCover not protecting the back. Well, it is and isn't.

    As others have said, the hinge is not great, and it is a bit awkward to open the top flap. The highest viewing angle puts the iPad at just under 90 degrees...a bit too high. In particular, the dark grey is not very dark, just a typical (and bright) grey.

    The biggest drawbacks are the colors (wish for a BLACK one), awkwardness, and poor design (in my opinion). It's also quite hard to get the iPad out of the case.

    For $49, invest in something else. Maybe if it were $29 I would consider it more.

    Protects but a joke as to standing up.

    • Written by from Amarillo

    This cover, which I ordered 4 for myself and family protects the Ipad and all its corners well. However, standing the Ipad is another story. The back part should have two sections; at the most three. To divide in four sections, the Ipad is too top heavy and keeps falling back. If you let it continue to fall back you will end up breaking glass.

    You could improve by sectioning in two the stand and also, include a place where stylus can be carried.

    Sleek

    • Written by from Redwood City

    This is a great case. The dark grey gives the black iPad a sleek, clean look. The "hinge" is fine, doesn't prohibit proper closing of the case. The outer lip does add some length and width the the screen, but its hardly noticeable. The cut outs are perfect and the speaker cutouts actually amplify the sound. A little pricy, but worth it for quality. Overall a solid case and cover.

    Dissappointed

    • Written by from Montreal,QC

    Looks and feels great, but is very flimsy and not fitted correctly. My iPad does not fit right in place, I dropped it and it now has a dent in it. I would of preferred a harder more sturdy back instead of a thin fabric.

    Revised Rating (3 down to 2 stars)

    • Written by from Cupertino

    I have had my new cover for about 2 hours and I will definitely be returning it tomorrow. It has no stability to speak of when you stand the iPad upright and the cover doesn't stay closed unless it is laying flat on a table. What garbage, Apple! You can do better. I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come...

    Stand function doesn't work

    • Written by from Chicago

    I bought the case because it could double as a stand. Unfortunately, it cannot. It collapses constantly. When it's not collapsing, the iPad is flipping over. Also, it's not easy to plug the power cord in with the cover on.

    Decent protection, poor quality/design

    • Written by from Wayne

    I got this case last week for my iPad and I am pretty disappointed. It is definitely not Apple quality. It does a good job at protecting the iPad, but my iPad (3rd gen) is fairly loose in the case, I'm sure a 2nd gen will be even looser. Also, when the cover is folded back the "hinge" doesn't do a great job of propping the iPad up at a decent angle. For $50 and Apple's name on it I expect much better quality. I got it as a gift so I won't be returning it, but I would look somewhere else for a better quality (and cheaper) case.

    Pros:
    Protects front and back of iPad
    Cover is magnetic
    Fits 2nd and 3rd gen iPad

    Cons:
    Loose fitting
    Hinge is poorly designed
    Not Apple quality
