Product Description

So much more than a case, the Smart Cover was designed alongside iPad 2 to be its perfect match: a thin, durable cover that magnetically aligns for a perfect fit. It automatically wakes and sleeps your iPad. It's a handy stand for reading, watching, and typing. Its microfiber lining keeps your iPad screen clean. And it's a way to make your iPad as personal on the outside as it is on the inside.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's a fake!!!, June 19, 2011

I was so excited to get the iPad smart cover for my new iPad 2!! My dad has one for his iPad 2 and I think it's a great cover!! I love amazon and I order stuff fom this website all the time; so naturally, this was the first place I went to get my smart cover because I didn't want to drive for an hour to get one from the Apple store. When the cover arrived I opened it and put it on my iPad to try it out but something seemed wrong about it and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. The magnetic strip that holds it to the iPad seemed kind of weak and the feel of the front and the back of the cover seemed a little different from my dad's smart cover. Sure enough, after comparing it side by side with my dad's smart cover it was obvious that the "iPad smart cover" that I had just ordered was definitely a fake!! The magnetic strip is significantly weaker than the real smart cover and the texture of the material on the front and back of the cover is different as well. There is a very soft and fuzzy material on the bottom of the real smart cover so that it protects the front of the iPad and doesn't scratch it. However, the material on the bottom of the fake smart cover is obviously a cheaper, lower-grade version of the stuff on the real cover and I have no doubt that after a while it would scratch up the front of the iPad. Even examining the cover up close proved that it was fake; there were a few little bubbles underneath the material on both sides and the seams were coming undone around the edges on a few parts. Definitely not up to Apple standards, I highly doubt that Apple would allow such cheap products to be sold in their name. Needless to say, after discovering that I paid just as much money for a fake smart cover that is not nearly as good as the real one, I was pretty upset and I returned it immediately. To anyone considering buying this particular product on amazon, beware, it is not an authentic iPad smart cover. However, if you don't mind paying a few bucks less for an immitation product that is somewhat similar to the real deal then go ahead. I, for one, would rather go to the Apple store to be sure that I am buying the real smart cover.

I recently bought a ipad 2 and decided that I needed a case for it so i purchased this one. It comes in a beautiful orange color. It can fold into a stand for typing and movies. It also folds over the ipad screen and will put your ipad into sleep mode. It works as advertised. But i think it works even better than advertised. 5 STARS!!!!!!!!

1) The orange seems pretty true to what it shows on the screen. If you think you're going to get something other than what you see, then your screen is off or you're assuming that the photo is bad. Normally I'd assume the screen is right unless you know your monitor is not true to color, in which case there are ways to fix that.

2) Yes, the lack of being able to use the cover to support the iPad in portrait mode is a serious drawback and if I were making this decision today I might seriously consider a different purchase.

3) Since none of the other covers is as minimal in size and do not function to quick 'on and off' the iPad however, I still think this is a major reason to buy THIS cover. I believe that just the ability to quickly put it to sleep when pausing your use extends the battery life significantly.

4) Yes, it seems to attract dirt, I hardly like my 10 year old boy to touch it unless he washes his hands first!! But so far I have been able to spot clean even the chocolate off it.

5) The hinge does detach itself on a rare occaision and I have not found this overly annoying, it snaps back on once you have a little practice with the positioning. Overall I'd say that the magnetic design is brilliant.
