Reviews for iPad mini Smart Cover - Light Gray

The side magnet is outstanding, but the top magnet is very weak. If you hold the iPad upside down the cover will just hang by the side magnet. Watch youtube reviews for a demo. I returned mine.

I wish they made it so that the cover wouldn't keep coming off. It only attaches via a magnet so more often than not, when you're moving your ipad or trying to fold the cover to prop it up, it just comes off. Kind of disappointing for a $40 product. On the plus side, it does keep your mini light and thin and the "smart" idea is innovative.

I didn't know the cover was differeent from the case. This cover to a waste. I paid $39 for it. Now I have to buy a case. Because the cover offers little protection when you drop your iPad mini, also it doesn't lay perfectly straight and the cover falls off if you try to lift the device by the cover.

With my iPad original, the case was great and I thought I was buying the same thing here, but, my own fault for trusting.

Don't buy it.

The very cover that is supposed to protect the ipad actually damages it. Where the magnetic hinge attaches to the ipad it has caused the aluminium to scuff!

Looks nice and iPad stays lightweight and thin but the side magnet doesn't hold when you tip the pad. Also no protection on the back allows for scratching when you place it in your purse/bag etc. I will look for something else.

Tried every kind from bargain ultra slim PU covers (they crack) to fancy leather upscale book types. (Too heavy). Now that I'm through the gamete, what am I back to? Apple Smart Cover. It's really all and everything you need guys. It may be pricy but I've spent more money trying out all the different types. All I'd recommend in addition, is an envelope zipper pouch for travel if its going to be bouncing around in a bag and a skin for the back if you're really paranoid about scratches. (I don't cover the back and it's still scratch free). Stays on, flips over to hold and warm your hand while reading, stands fine in both modes. Doesn't come off unless you take it off. Only problem is I wish there were more "grown up" colors.

The favorable reviews must be planted. The cover is flimsy and the magnet that holds the cover is weak. In addition the cover fails as a folding stand. Please do not purchase this piece of junk.

This smart cover tends to fall off and dose not work well with a 3 fold mechanism. Also for the same price as the full size one you would think it would make up for something. I would like to see in the future a 4 fold iPad mini smart case.
