This review is from: Incipio iPad 2 Smart feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case - Black (Personal Computers)

Granted, if you really want to split hairs, Amazon's description here IS misleading -they don't state anywhere that the Smart Cover is not included. But that is easily discovered by surfing over to Incipio's website and doing a little fact-checking before plopping down your credit card. So yes, Amazon deserves a slap on the wrist for that, but it's hardly grounds for trashing this product with 1 star.

As snap-on slim covers go, this has to be one of the sexiest, best-designed, and best executed ones I've ever seen -and the price is VERY reasonable, considering it comes with a screen film (which I'm not even going to use). When they say "Feather" case folks, BELIEVE it. This case is wafer thin, and has a soft-touch "rubber" like finish that is easy to grip, and practically disappears once it's snapped into place. It adds less than 1mm to the thickness of your iPad. The snap-over edges grip at the corners of the left side and the entire right-hand edge of the iPad, with a precision that truly lives up to Apple's own demanding standards.

There is one feature not clearly illustrated in Amazon or Incipio's pictures: the left side of the Feather Case snaps OVER the Smart cover hinge bar -a nice touch that keeps your Smart cover from being easily or accidentally pulled off.

You can still fold the Smart cover all the way around back with this case installed.

CAVEAT: This case really only provides scratch protection for the back of the iPad, and that's really all I wanted. It will not protect your iPad from drops or serious edge impact. If you use an Apple Smart Cover (NOT INCLUDED) and you want to add some scuff protection for the back, THIS is the case for you.

This review is from: Incipio iPad 2 Smart feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case - Black (Personal Computers)

I purchased the black Incipio feather case for my iPad 2 in July of 2011. I was pleased with the fit and feel of the material, and it matched well with my black Smart Cover. The material of the Incipio case provided a grippiness for my fingers versus the smooth metal of the iPad itself, and it certainly would protect against scratches.

So far so good-until mid-September 2011, just about two months after purchase. I noticed the case had cracked in multiple locations along the corner edges, with a small piece even breaking off. I had only taken it off once or twice since I initially put it on, and I am not hard on my equipment at all. No drops had occurred, no scratching, banging, or bending. Yet within two months, it was cracking and breaking.

I wouldn't be pleased with any product that did this so soon after buying it, but I'm especially displeased that a case sold for almost $30 would have these problems. Given the cost, I cannot recommend this case until Incipio strengthens its construction. $30 for 60 days of use is not acceptable.
