    Ipad mini Smart Cover

    • Written by from Batavia

    The Smart Cover is very convenient, turning on your mini when you open it, combined with the multigestures for ipad, makes it a "buttonless" device, where you no longer need the home button.

    The colors might fade overtime (within a year) judging from my ipad2 Smart Cover.

    Poorly designed

    • Written by from Toronto

    It's hard to understand how, after designing such a great cover for the ipad 2,4 etc., the mini cover is so poorly thought through. It does not fit a tightly, does not support the device as a stand securely in either direction. The magnet connections holding the cover closed have much weaker grip than the larger ipads do. Please fix this asap

    Disappointing to say the least

    Very unimpressed with this cover. As others have stated, it offers no protection to the back of the case. It slips off easily and has been dropped because of this. The cover does not clean well and has become quite dull and dirty after less than a month of owning it. I would NOT recommend this product.

    Highly Disappointed

    • Written by from McKinney

    I was highly disappointed with the design of this product, as back of the iPad mini is not protected by this so call Smart Cover. I am also the owner of the iPad 3 and I love the smart cover for that iPad, because there is complete protection of that product.

    In short the only thing that I liked about the iPad mini cover is that it was Pink.

    A joke

    On my original iPad, Apple made the best case ever. The iPad slides in and is completely protected. Oh, let's change that - so they came up with this piece of junk, and for more money! This case does not protect the back of the iPad and when you try to rest the iPad against something, it just slides down. I just put my new iPad in the old case. Not a great fit, but anything is better than this.

    The mini iPad cover is not good ,opens and shuts but it is no good for a stand like shown in the picture and my iPad 2.stands well.£35 is a lot of money to cover the screen,give refunds for imperfect use

    I recieved this cover as a gift for christmas. I cannot express more of how unsatisfied i am with it. It magnetizes on the side of the i pad. it provides zero protection if you drop it. the magnets have already became extreme weak in the course of one week that i can barely use it to prop up my i pad. it collects dirt on it and i cannot remove. im very disappointed with this product. save the 45$ and put it towards a better case that protects your i pad.

    The cover is ok. Not in love with it. It doesn't really stand up well and there's nothing to protect the back from scratches. I do like the sleep/wake feature though.

    Regarding previous leather iPad Smart Cover this is the absolutely fail... This cover is bigger then mini iPad and not perfectly fitted. This thing is destruct the positive impression from mini iPad. Not acceptable for apple products. Not good trend guys...

    Just got This Cover in Pink

    • Written by from Edison

    28 of 32 people found this useful

    I like the pink and its easy to install but the stand could be a little more sturdy. It feels like it will fall over flat sometimes in stand position.
    It's okay for now but definitely over priced.

    I am enjoying the iPad mini Smart Cover. The auto on/off feature that works with the Smart Cover is pretty cool. It also protects the iPad from scratches. It is not the most sturdy of a stand, but still functions properly. At home I do use a stand I picked up at The Container Store. I would love to have a second one in another color.

    Mini cover needs 4 folding sections ...

    • Written by from Tacoma

    26 of 33 people found this useful

    I love the quality except the design isn't working so hot. On my full size iPad smart cover it had 4 folding sections which worked great when folded as a stand, but the mini smart cover only has 3 folding sections which causes the cover to easily loose it's stand shape. Apple can fix this by creating mini smart covers with 4 folding sections instead of 3.

    Love New iPad Mini but This Cover...not so much

    • Written by from Edison

    26 of 33 people found this useful

    Pros:
    I love that it comes in pink, just wish it was a nicer shade.
    Attaches easily.
    Does a decent job covering of my new iPad mini screen.

    Cons:
    Cover doesn't stay flat against screen anymore after you've folded it for some reason.
    Color is a dull pink but no big deal.
    Most disappointing is that I can't seem to make it stay folded to prop it up (landscape & keyboard typing position). It just slides down flat. I've tried folding both ways while looking at moving website image for reference also. It worked the first time but now won't stay.

    The price is way too high for this cover and I will probably return it but I was really hoping it was going to be good.

    Terrible product

    • Written by from Whitehouse

    I thought this would be a great cover but it isn't. The magnet doesn't stay attached to the ipad mini and the cover comes off all the time. It came off today and my ipad mini screen is completely scratched and cracked. Do not waste your money on this product. Buy something that works better.

    Best Case Available

    • Written by from South Porcupine

    23 of 32 people found this useful

    Absolutely love this case! My iPad fits securely inside and I do not need to worry about it falling out. The inside of the cover actually cleans my screen and it is now impossible for my iPad to be scratched in my purse thanks to the back. The cover and back are held together tightly when closed so I do not need to worry about any debris getting into the case during transport.

    The buttons are covered for my and the case doesn't make it difficult to use them. When the lid is used for a stand I find that it is very stable so that I can type. The free engraving option offers a crisp white font on the back which makes it visually appealing.

    I recommend this case to anyone who has an iPad. The pink colour in particular is a beautiful bright colour.

    Broken ipad! Beware!

    • Written by from Hingham

    The magnetized "hinge" comes detached from the ipad mini very easily! Mine fell and broke the glass. I took it to my local Apple store where they informed me my only option was to buy a new ipad! Also, they do not sell any other cover for the ipad mini.

    In addition to the weak magnet there is no protection for the lens of your camera on the rear of the ipad. If you set you ipad mini down on it's backside the lens will become scratched over time.
