This cover is perfect for iPad 5. At the same time, I expect nothing less as it is developed by Apple, and a compatibility problem with the iPad would have been very disappointing! The fact that the iPad will dim automatically when the cover is closed is very convenient. Just for the fact that the cover is folded and allows the tablet slightly elevated (handy when writing emails, for example). The only negative is that the back of the iPad is not protected, but for my part, it does not bother me.
