    Case can't stand up

    • Written by from Minot

    This case isn't as advertised. You can't stand this case up with any reliability. The edges are hard and will cut into you. Everything the commercial says it will do it actually won't do. The only pro to this case is that it will cover the whole iPad and it looks cool but I'd rather have something that will work rather than looks. This is a miss apple. Another miss since jobs left get it together I'm not impressed

    Great Cover!!

    • Written by from helotes

    This is a GREAT cover. I've had mine since I purchased my iPad Dec 2011 and it is still working just fine. I use the iPad every single day and the cover has never come off. I'm able to watch videos by using the cover as a stand. I'm able to type by using the cover to prop it up. I highly recommend this cover.

    Great product!

    • Written by from Athens

    I love my smart cover! I use my iPad for just about everything. The smart cover is great because it protects the screen but doesn't make the iPad bulky. I also love that it allows the iPad to hibernate without any additional action by the user. I have seen a few reviews saying that the cover doesn't hold up and the liner starts getting loose. I have had my cover for almost three years now and have not had any problem with it. My only complaint is that I wish they made more/better colors for them. I got pink because it was the best choice but I would really like something different now.

    Everything nice...

    • Written by from Houston

    Got the pink as I am totally a girlie-girl. Initially purchased one by Lily Pulitzer but it would not stay on...this one fits perfect and I love it! I also may add --all the colors are beautiful!

    Excellent cover love it. Love it in pink too.

    • Written by

    A great cover. Ive had it a few mths now, Initially before I got it I was Hesitant after reading the reviews but glad I got it. Mine never just comes of as people are describing. Doesn't seem possible. I have to apply pressure to pry it off. I would like to know how to clean the inside of the cover. But otherwise well recommended don't buy the cheaper ones.

    0 stars if possible

    • Written by from Kennesaw

    I wondered why the salesman told me to be sure to keep my receipt.
    After 2 days, the cute smart cover was driving me crazy!
    The magnets may or may not be strong enough to hold the extra weight of the 3rd generation iPad, but they definitely don't fit the steeply angled sides.

    My iPad 3 would never stand up for video watching, and even when typing, the cover kept sliding off.
    I have an original iPad that is still without a scratch -- this one fell face down when the magnets on the smart cover disconnected.
    The Apple Store manager's reasoning as to why it was not their fault? iPads should never be held in one hand!

    Hated it at first ...

    • Written by from San Bernardino

    For all the same reasons posted here! It would pop off in the rolled position and I worried I would drop my IPad if I wasn't careful. I loved that my IPad went to sleep when it was closed and that it could act as a stand in both the horizontal and vertical positions (if it would stop popping off). Then I found my Incipio back case. It is compatible with the Smart Cover and snaps over the hinges so that it holds the cover on tightly. I can pick up my iPad by the cover now without it coming off. And the colors closely match the smart covers! So .. I'm buying a new iPad for my grandchildren, and I'm getting a new Smart Cover here in pink!

    Replacing mine!

    • Written by

    I see so many covers that work better. The magnets don't hold so the case falls off, it doesn't stay rolled when you want to stand it up, and it really doesn't protect the device.

    Disappointing

    • Written by from Ballyclare

    Not a good buy. The cover doesn't stay attached. Dropped iPad when the cover slid off. Loved the colour (pink) and it does look good but wouldn't recommend it.

    So sad

    • Written by from deerfield

    I am so so sorry I bought this case. It falls off all the time. It doesn't make a stable stand. It was a real waste of my money. Its a shame a company that makes a wonderful product like iPad makes such awful cases!

    Doesn't stay on

    • Written by from Salisbury

    My iPad Smart Cover lasted all of five minutes. It just doesn't stay on with the magnets. Would not recommend buying. Now I have to go spend more $$$ on something else. boo!

    Good aesthetics, bad performance on long term

    • Written by from Hunedoara

    Looks and feels really nice on touch. Protects the iPad screen. Pros: wake/sleep on iPad opened/closed. Cons: after a few months starts to lose magnetic properties & less than one year doesn't stay on the screen if iPad's turned on the side or with the screen down.

    Opinion in Pink

    • Written by from Whitesburg

    I bought this cover when I bought my iPad 2 and it's done the job for me as much as expected. I leave the case on my iPad as an extra screen protector when it.s in my zipper case. There will always be bad reviews of every product but none of the products out there are perfect, each has their flaws but I would say I'm happy with my pink smart cover and that it's a beautiful true pink!

    Awful product - steer well clear!

    • Written by from Birmingham

    The title of my review seems a little sensationalist, but allow me to explain:
    This case looks great, fits great and protects the entire iPad. It even has a few nice touches (covered volume and power buttons).

    BUT - and this is a big but. The case is also supposed to support the iPad when watching movies/reading etc and this it spectacularly fails to do and may lead to the death of your iPad. In portrait orientation, it's not great, but almost usable, but in landscape, it's much worse and is too flimsy to stop it from toppling over, which lead to my wifes iPad hitting a tiled floor. We were lucky because I got my foot under it to break the fall, but it could so easily have lead to it breaking. Better options are available at a lot less, investigate those first. This is the poorest accessory I have seen Apple produce and they should be ashamed to their failure to test it adequately before selling it. I bought a different case from another manufacturer and this is much better.

    Two thumbs down

    • Written by from Portland

    The cover easily disengages from the iPad. It isn't sturdy or comfortable in any way. I think I'll try the new smart sleeve instead.

    iPad smart case

    • Written by from Northwood

    What an awful design, I have an ipad2 and it's comfortable to hold either out of its case or in a Belkin case that a got when I first bought the iPad (the original smart cover fits with the Belkin case)

    This new case is horrible to hold, there is a mould line around the edge that pushes into your fingers making it unbearable.

    How can the designers of iPod, iPhone, MacBook, iMac, iPad, and even the original smart cover release this? Steve Jobs must be Turing in his grave.

    Great concept but stains too easily.

    • Written by from GLASGOW

    I bought this cover today and within hours it had picked up a conspicious stain on the front which would not come off. Gutted. Was hoping it would be more durable. I was being so careful with it too.
