    To expensive for its functions

    I got the iPad mini along with the smart cover and was very, very pleased with the iPad but the cover however didn't reach my standards. The cover is just a small version of the cover/case of the iPad. There is no way it should be the same price as the smart cover for the full sized iPad while the mini is practically half its size. It doesn't always stay in place when it snaps on (magnetically) which is frustrating. It also gets dirty very easily and can't really be cleaned efficiently because of the material. I must say it does do a good job protecting the screen of the Ipad, but then again you have to buy a specially made case to work with the cover. I think a 40 dollar case then additional money spent on a back case is just not worth it.

    I think the cover was a waste of money. I really wish I hadn't spent so much on it, since it really doesn't even stay magnetted to my iPad.

    Flimsy Hinge

    I love the new iPad mini and, knowing how essential I felt the iPad cover was to my previous full-size model, I had to order one for my new mini. The green color seems a bit more intense than the green from my previous cover and the felt side has a slightly different (cheaper) feel but functions sufficiently well. However, the soft plastic hinge is a HUGE design mistake. The metal hinge on the previous model meant that the flipped-back cover stayed in place. This cheap plastic hinge allows the pad to slide around relative to the pad and therefore causes strain on one end of the hinge. I feel certain it will tear. Also, the sliding means the pad slips to an angle when open in a vertical position. This cover does not live up to my high expectations for Apple product design. Please being back the metal hinge.
