    I'm returning this.

    First of all this is a one piece cover. Secondly it's very much like the First gen iPad's case. The typing angle is lower, the watching angle is way to close to 90 degrees and very wobbly. Also the case is a little bit loose (both with iPad 2 and 3) Feels very cheap. Worth maybe $20... Maybe... if you feel like spending that day.

    Save your money. It's just not good.

    I really hate this case. The edges cut into my hands so I can't hold it for any reasonable amount of time. And, it's terrible as a stand. Disappointing.

    I really wanted it to work - but returned it

    I could have accepted that the bevel was so large adding to the height and width. I could have looked past the fact it was difficult to open the case because of the way it sealed closed. I was getting over the realization my iPad was HOT FLAGRANT RED bordering on neon - even though it's pictured much less saturated in the gallery. I also could have dealt with the flimsy stance in the reading and viewing position due to the less secured hinge. But there's one thing I could not accept and that was the FIT. It was horrible - the iPad slid around endlessly in the case. So much as picking it up would misalign the cutouts. You'd have to slide the thing around constantly to get it back to center. I expect much more of an official Apple product. If they updated it to fix the size, I would try the case again, but save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

    Terrible... Just Terrible!

    The only positive thing I have to say about the smart case is thank god I purchased the product red version so at least it wasn't a complete waste of money. The designers really missed the boat on this accessory. I LOVE the smart cover and will continue to use them, but the case is very flimsy at the hinge and therefore won't hold the iPad up when playing games. It doesn't fit the back of the iPad properly either, it gapes and you can feel the iPad moving around inside. Maybe I got a defective case, but I highly doubt it! It would have made more sense to separate the front and back into two separate pieces keeping the cover as a standard cover!

    Is this really an Apple product?

    I was looking for a case that would protect the back of my iPad since I often put it in my laptop bag with other devices/cables in the same area. I figured the official Apple product would be a good bet.

    I was wrong. This product is a disappointment. I was expecting the back to be more like a tight neoprene wrapper. Instead, as others have mentioned, the back has huge sharp edges. It adds at least a 1/4 inch around the sides of the iPad making it uncomfortable to hold. The top cover is much smaller than the back edges. You need to use your fingernail to find the edge of the cover to open it.

    The case does look nice with white accents on the red cover. But that is really the only positive of this case.

    Just okay

    Got the red color cover for my ipad three months ago and this is my experience.
    1. The color (red) gradually starts fading off and you can see the red color marks on the back of your ipad .
    2. This does not stick well and will keep falling off.
    3. For the price the quality is not that great

    My previous review was removed, so I'm going to rewrite it.
    This case is awful. It was too large, and the iPads slid around quite a lot. There's really a problem when the company cannot design a case for its own tablet that fits properly. Many of the buttons were hard to press, any ports were difficult to access.
    A few days ago, my iPad fell about 4 feet. The corner is now dented. I will be trying to get a free replacement.

    Nice color, uncomfortable to hold

    This is one of those items where you really wonder, "did anyone user test this?".

    The top flap is about an 1/8" smaller than the case, which leaves you digging at the cover all the time to open it. Worse than that is the sharp edges, rendering this easily the most uncomfortable case I've ever used.

    Get ready, Apple, you're getting this one back.

    Very poor quality and durability

    I have received this Smart Case (I am the owner of several Smart Cover) as a gift for my iPad 3rd Gen. I started using it in August 2011 and it is already "flumsy" nearly cracking. I do not recommend this product at all. It is loose on both the iPad2 as well as on my iPad 3rd Gen. Poor quality and extremely disappointing durability. Not worth the price we paid for this.

    Perfect for 2 weeks

    I loved my Apple Green case, caught everyone's glances of course, watertight from spills, edges protected device from drops. Then my days in the sun with my Ipad 3 where over. The seam split wide open and now the iPad would fall right out. I finally had perfect, I was so so thrilled, oh ya, it also seemed to stretch itself out of fit and iPad shifted around and I could have lived with that, evan though a little embarrassed for Apple. I believe I will get a refund, but what then? Guess I can use Smart Cover, but that doesn't hold tight unless you hold it right, I would pay twice the price for a stronger Smart Case. Think Lifetime, all the memories with my life friendly Apple gear. Almost!

    Orange

    This is not red. It is bring, neon orange. I hate it with a passion. If it was really red or vivid blue red, I could live with it. But it isn't. It's neon orange. Hideous. And the polyurethane is not strong enough to prop up the iPad as pictured.

    Find it a bit clumsy and awkward to use. Looks good but not very practical for me. I will look for an alternative.

    NOT WORTH $50

    I HAVE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!! IT IS HORRIBLE, IT DOESN'T FIT CORRECTLY, EVERYTHING THAT THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS STATE ARE CORRECT... Too many to name!!!
    IT DOES NOT FIT iPad 4 properly!!! MAGNET not strong enough to keep case closed, and what I hate the worst is when standing it up to face time its not secure (mine falls) so i just hold it like i didnt have a case... & the angle when typing( very low) is maybe 5-10 degree angle.. Basically FLAT.
    IN SHORT, DON'T BUY!!!!! It's not worth 50$ and I will be RETURNING MINE TODAY!!!!! And buying something from eBay for a fraction of the price

    Well i went to my local apple store to buy this product i was very excited, but as soon as i get it home and slip my iPad into it i was disapointed it was loose fitting around the iPad also it does not look like its photos all of the access points like the camera, headphone jack and the rotation lock all looked like they were cut way too large, and the last thing is it would not even stand up for watching movies and if i could balance it for a second as soon as i touched the screen it would fall over (not safe at all) So i went to return it and would never buy this product again
