    Useful and easy to use; watch out for ipad2 breakage

    • Written by from New York

    Bought the ipad2 a week ago and today as I was getting out of the car, the side of the ipad tapped against the metal door. Didn't hit the door hard, I barely noticed the tap, that is until I opened the ipad to use it in our hotel room. Huge cracks in the ipad glass (although the screen still works).

    The ipad2 needs a full protective case like the Kindle has or one risks breakage like I had today when transporting the ipad2.

    I called the Apple 800 number and was informed glass breakage will cost $299 to switch out another ipad2 for mine. Not on warranty either as it was an accidental breakage.

    Even before I switch out I'm getting a protective case of some sort. Hard lesson learned.     …More

    Works perfectly!

    • Written by from Modesto

    Like another customer here, this cover works perfectly! I have used the pink one for a year when I bought my iPad 2. My husband just upgraded his iPad to the 2 and bought this grey one and again it works perfectly. Those who say it collapses under the weight of the iPad simply do not know how to fold it properly as a stand. I also love the on/off feature of the iPad the cover provides. Definitely NOT disappointed! …More

    iPad smart cover

    • Written by from Vancouver

    Nice design, typically Apple. Sleek and simple, easy to put on and take off. Nice feature that allows the iPad to lock when closed and wakes when opened. Would be nice to have protection on the backside as well. Feels good on the fingers, both the polyurethane outside and the felt material on the inside. Dont waste your money on the leather one. Definately overpriced, but what can u do?! Nice options with color, wish there were more though. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. …More

    But is it worth $40?

    • Written by from Ballston Lake

    Here's a poser for you: we have a product that does what it's advertised to do. It does it well. I use it all the time. So, it's a good, usable product that should be highly recommended. But is it worth $40? I guess the answer to that question depends on how you're likely to use your iPad. If you're carrying it around a lot outside of your home/workplace, you might be better served with a more substantial cover. However, if you're using your iPad essentially in one location and want to protect it from run-of-the mill jostling (and you want the convenience of using the opening of the cover to wake your iPad), it's probably worth ponying up the 40 bucks. Your call! …More

    Pretty good

    • Written by from Camden

    Well first off I am going to state that the smart cover is not intended to protect the outside body of the iPad itself. I think people are forgetting to cover in their reviews that the product is not a case by any means. It's a COVER.

    But anyway. It works as it is advertised to do. Cover the screen, and turn the screen on when you unfold it, and lock it down once the cover is closed. Although I do not believe when they it is suppost to "clean" your screen when you cover it back up. Even though it does cover it from dust and dirt.

    The light gray color also goes great with the new white iPad. I have the smart cover on the front to protect the screen and a black case on the back and it goes great.

    It might be overpriced. But it works very well with a back case.     …More
